London police probing British soldier Lee Rigby’s murder last week in broad daylight made their 10th arrest as the government vowed to review its powers to counter extremist groups.

A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, the Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement yesterday. A task force on terrorism will consider whether the state needs wider authority to ban such organizations and prevent the messages of extremist preachers from reaching the public, U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May said May 26 on the BBC’s “Andrew Marr Show.”
