British Arrest 14 in Anti-Terror Raids
2003-12-03
Still more housecleaning...
Police arrested 14 people on suspicion of terrorism offenses in raids around Britain Tuesday. The suspects' names and nationalities were not released.
Most of them were named "Mahmoud."
Four men were arrested in London, and four men and two women were arrested at two separate addresses in the university city of Cambridge. Four men also were arrested in Dudley and Walsall in central England. All 14 were detained "on suspicion of involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism," police said. The arrests in London came during raids on six homes and three businesses in the southwestern section of the city, police said.

#1  They bagged a live one:
Briton Sajid Badat, arrested last week in southwest England, was charged Wednesday with conspiring with Richard Reid in an explosives plot, police said. Briton Richard Reid, known as the shoe bomber, was sentenced to life in prison for a Dec. 22, 2001, bombing attempt aboard a Paris-to-Miami American Airlines flight. London's Metropolitan Police said Badat was charged with three offenses, including that between Sept. 1, 2001 and Nov. 28, 2003 he "unlawfully and maliciously conspired with Richard Reid and others unknown" to cause an explosion "likely to endanger life or cause serious injury" in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
