LONDON, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- A seventh person has been arrested by detectives investigating the recent terror attack in the Tube in London, the London Metropolitan Police said Monday.

On Sept. 15, a homemade bomb partially exploded on a rush-hour carriage of the District Line train at Parsons Green tube station in west London, injuring 30 people.

A 20-year-old man was arrested at an address in Cardiff, capital of Wales, at approximately 6 a.m. (0500 GMT) on Monday, under section 41 of the Terrorism Act. He has been taken to a south London police station where he remains in custody.
