London

Prime Minister Theresa May has rebuked US President Donald Trump for suggesting that the suspects in Friday's London train blast were known to police.

"I never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation," she said yesterday, according to the BBC News.

In a tweet, Mr Trump had described the attackers as "loser terrorists" and "sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard".

The bomb rocked a London Underground train, injuring 29 people.

In a phone call with Mrs May yesterday, Mr Trump had "pledged to continue close collaboration with the United Kingdom to stop attacks worldwide targeting innocent civilians and to combat extremism."

The call followed Mrs May's critical remarks about the US president.

London police said of his comments, "any speculation is unhelpful".
