(Reuters) - British police said they have released two men arrested as part of the investigation into last week's Tube attack in Parsons Green, London, which injured 30 people.

 

A 21-year-old man arrested in Hounslow on Sept. 16 and a 48-year-old man arrested in Newport on Sept. 20 were released by the police with no further action, the police said in a statement on late Thursday. http://bit.ly/2hnqiem

"We have four males in custody and searches are continuing at four addresses. Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack," the police said.

 

A home-made bomb went off on Sept. 15 during the morning rush hour on a packed underground Tube train at Parsons Green station, sending flames through the carriage, although it appeared that the device did not fully explode.

 

It was the fifth major militant incident in Britain this year.

 

The Islamic State militant group, which had said it was behind several attacks on Western cities in recent years, including two attacks in London and one in Manchester this year, claimed responsibility for the latest attack.

If they follow their usual pattern they will release nearly all of them within a week.

Few would choose to live in an ethnically diverse neighbourhood, with only an oily curtain to separate them from people of quite different beliefs and practises. It's particularily troublesome when, as here in this case, newly arrived folk come trying to take advantage of or plain take over from, by means fair or foul. It's probably not accurate to say this is just a tiny extremist minority, more likely to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Multiculturism doesn't work in practise, it seems, it is a con-trick by owners of production assets on ordinary people; on the coattails (the hangers on) who accept bribes, in effect, for their support; and on the ill-informed and naive NGOs who then go out proselytising like missionaries of old. It has bèn abandoned as official policy, you're just told to get over it.

Your part of the world in S E Asia has got it more or less right I would say. Pity UK trying to get out from under.
