 A MAN has been arrested in northern England in connection with suicide bomb attacks on US-led coalition forces in Iraq, police said. The man was detained after around 30 officers raided a house in the Moss Side area of Manchester at 5:00 am (1400 AEST). The arrest was not connected to any threat in Britain but to "an incident overseas" involving attacks in Iraq, Greater Manchester Police said. "Since the beginning of the year, there have been a series of suicide bombings against coalition forces in Iraq," a spokesman said. "It appears that one of the suicide bombers may have travelled from the UK, where he had been living." No further details were available about the identity of the arrested man.
