Bomb squad raid five properties, arrest four men in operation against 'people plotting Islamist-related attacks'
2017-12-19
[DailyMail]
  • Three men from Sheffield and one from Chesterfield have been arrested today

  • Trio aged 22, 36 and 41, were arrested at addresses in Sheffield this morning

  • 31-year-old arrested in Chesterfield, aslo on suspicion of plotting terror attacks

10:45 a.m. ET: The Telegraph weighs in:
Police raided four addresses in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire after intelligence suggested the men were planning to build or acquire a bomb to strike a target in the UK.

The suspected plotters are understood to have been under surveillance, but counter terrorism officers decided to act amid fears the suspects had moved beyond discussion and begun trying to source bomb parts, or materials.

A police spokesperson said: "The public may have heard a loud bang at the time as police entered one of the properties, but it was not an explosion. It was part of the method to gain entry to the property in Meersbrook."

Imteresting. 24/7 talk radio in the various languages of the Afro-Asian community.

One hopes the police are listening, too.

Why does the article omit to inform readers about Karimia -- the operator of Radio Dawn?

.

It turns out to be a most interesting group.

It is led by Pakistan-born Musharraf Hussain, who was awarded an OBE in 2009. I recommend some googling. You will not be disappointed.
