New Terror Plot Arrest
Police investigating the alleged UK airport terror plot have arrested a further person in the Thames Valley area. The further arrest comes as detectives continue to question 23 other suspects. Police have until Wednesday before they have to apply for a warrant for further detention.

Scotland Yard said police had now carried out a total of 46 searches at residential and business premises. They were still searching 22 of these premises. A total of 20 vehicles have also been searched, although Scotland Yard refused to discuss what officers had recovered. Specialist officers are also combing woodland in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, close to the scene of one of last Thursday's raids.

The search for evidence has led Thames Valley Police to Slough, some 18 miles from the focus of operations in High Wycombe. Chief Superintendent Brian Langston, who heads Berkshire East's Basic Command Unit, said officers had carried out search warrants in two internet cafes in the town. He said extra officers had now been drafted in to guard against any "misguided backlash" in the town.
No, can't have any backlash, someone might be offended.
The international focus of the operation is also continuing, with Pakistan saying it may extradite a British national arrested over the alleged plot. But a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Britain had not made a request for the extradition of Rashid Rauf.
"You guys want him?"
"Nah, just his answers to these questions. Box up his head and send that to us afterwards."
