Brits arrest four more gunnies in Leicester
Anti-terrorist police arrested four people in Leicester in the latest phase of a continuing operation to round up suspects believed to be involved with terrorist activities. The arrests of two men and two women, aged 28 to 31, on immigration charges followed the arrests of 13 people in London and Leicester on Thursday. All 17 people are now in custody in Leicester and are being questioned by agents from the security forces as well as immigration authorities. Nine of the men arrested during Thursday's operation were held on suspicion of terrorism, and the rest of the suspects face charges related to immigration offenses. Officials had no immediate comment on reports by a French radio station, Europe 1, that the arrests were linked to investigations into planned attacks by Islamic militants in France.
Britain will look much nicer after a good housecleaning, too.
