Six Arrested in London in Anti-Terror Operation; Islam Radicals Arrested for Planning UK Attacks

The BBC website reports that five men and a woman suspected of terrorism offenses were arrested today (July 5, 2012) in London as part of an intelligence-led investigation involving MI5. (MI5 refers to military intelligence in the United Kingdom.)

Eight homes in west, east, and north London and one business are being searched.

The arrests relate to a possible plot involving Islam extremists, with potential UK targets.

Police involved in the long-running operation decided to act today on the grounds of public safety. The six arrested are aged between 18 and 30.
