Eleven out of 12 suspects arrested in a major anti-terror operation in Britain are Pakistani nationals, the head of Greater Manchester Police said Thursday.
"We've been very clear about the origin of the people that have been arrested... 11 of them are Pakistani nationals. That is a matter of fact," said Peter Fahy, briefing reporters on raids carried out across northwest England.
It had already been reported that 10 of those arrested, in raids hastily organised Wednesday after a security blunder by Britain's top counter-terror police chief, were of Pakistani origin, but not their nationality. |
