London Bridge attack: Police release images of terrorists' fake suicide belts

Detectives investigating the London Bridge attack have released images of the terrorists' fake suicide belts.

The realistic-looking phoney bombs were actually disposable water bottles wrapped in masking tape.

Here are the other latest developments:

  • The terrorists tried unsuccessfully to hire a 7.5 tonne lorry hours before the atrocity, police revealed
  • Multiple petrol bombs were discovered in the white van they used
  • Eight people were killed in the attack
  • Khuram Butt, 27, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 22, carried out the deadly attack in London Bridge on Saturday night
  • Butt was known to security services in the UK but there was no evidence of "attack planning", counter-terrorism police said
  • Zaghba was flagged up to police in the UK after being trying to go to Syria last year
  • Redouane's ex-wife said she is "shocked and numbed" as she condemned the attack
  • 20 people have been arrested in connection with the probe; 12 have been released without charge.
