Two more persons have been detained by the British police as part of their investigation into the London Tube “bucket bomb” attack in which 30 persons were injured, bringing the total number of arrests to five. A 48-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were detained by Scotland Yard’s Counter-Terrorism Command under the UK’s Terrorism Act this morning, after a search at an address in Newport, South Wales, the Metropolitan Police said. “This continues to be a fast-moving investigation. We now have five men in custody and searches are continuing at four addresses. Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack,” said Commander Dean Haydon, head of the Met Police Counter-Terrorism Command.

Clinton book has sold more than 300,000 copies

Hillary Clinton’s “What Happened” had a big debut. Clinton’s book about her stunning loss in 2016 to Donald Trump has sold more than 300,000 copies in the combined formats of hardcover, e-book and audio, Simon & Schuster told media in US.

The September 12 publication’s hardcover sales of 168,000 was the highest opening for a nonfiction release in the past five years, as recorded by NPD BookScan, which tracks around 85 percent of retail print sales.

Sales for “What Happened” far exceeded the first-week numbers for “Hard Choices,” Clinton’s book about her years as secretary of state, which came out in 2014 as she was preparing to launch her run for president.

Her all-time opening was for her first memoir, “Living History,” published in 2003.
