LONDON (AP) — The father of a man held for the fatal stabbing of a British lawmaker during a meeting with local voters has told British media that he was shocked and “traumatized” by his son’s arrest, as police continued questioning the suspect under terrorism laws. Harbi Ali Kullane, a former adviser to Somalia’s prime minister, said counter-terrorism police had visited him, according to the Sunday Times. British authorities have not released the name of the suspect in the fatal stabbing of 69-year-old Conservative lawmaker David Amess on Friday, but British media identified him as Ali Harbi Ali, 25. Home Secretary Priti Patel said Sunday that officials are reviewing security arrangements for lawmakers.
