Thirty people were injured on Friday in a bombing at a London Underground train.

British MPs voted in favour of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill on September 12, a key moment for the government’s Brexit strategy despite opposition accusations of an unprecedented power grab. The bill is aimed at repealing the 1972 law through which Britain joined the bloc, transferring in bulk around 12,000 existing EU regulations onto the British statute books. / AFP PHOTO / Daniel LEAL-OLIVAS
Britain has downgraded its terrorism threat level to severe from critical, two days after a bombing in a London Underground train injured 30 people, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Sunday.
“The Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre, which reviews the threat level that the UK is under, have decided to lower that level from critical to severe,” Rudd said in a televised statement.
