Also from the New York Times Article..

The police said that three suspects were in custody, and had been arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism. The offense covers the plotting of terrorist attacks in Britain.

The arrests over the incident are now three individuals.

Did Jihad the terrorist clown leave a suicide note?

I'm sure his ramblings or reasoning will be in there somewhere if it exists.
