Seven arrested in British anti-terror raids
Seven people have been arrested by anti-terrorist officers following a series of raids in Scotland and England. The raids were carried out this morning on addresses in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Six men and one woman have been detained under the Terrorism Act 2000. Those arrested in England will be brought to Scotland and they will all be questioned at a secure location. Giggle juice and bagpipes The raids were part of an operation by Lothian and Borders Police assisted by Greater Manchester Police, the anti-terrorist squad of the Metropolitan Police and Strathclyde Police. Lothian and Borders Police said two men were arrested in Edinburgh, one man was arrested in Greater Manchester, a man and woman were arrested in Glasgow and two men were arrested in London. Deputy Chief Constable Tom Wood, operations director of Lothian and Borders Police, said no dangerous substances had yet been discovered. He said: "This was a carefully co-ordinated operation which was executed successfully. "Since this operation is connected to another matter which is presently 'active', under the Contempt of Court Act no further information can be given out at present." Cheers! Hey, Fred! Can you make a separate catagory for the UK? I hate filing them as Europe. It feels like a slur on them. Thanks. Posted by: Steve 2003-02-06 |
