'Terrorism' suspects held in UK swoop
Police say arrests part of ongoing operation
against "Islamist-related terrorism" as they raid
properties across London.
Nine men have been arrested in Britain in a move
police said was part of an ongoing operation
against "Islamist-related terrorism" rather than in
response to any immediate threat.
The men are held on suspicion of belonging to
and supporting an organisation banned under
anti-terrorism laws and "encouraging terrorism",
police said.
The nine suspects, aged between 22 to 51, were
taken to central London police stations while 19
properties across the capital and in Stoke-on-
Trent in central England were being searched.
Police also raided homes, businesses and
community centres on Thursday as part of the
investigation.
Britain raised its international threat level to the
second-highest level of "severe" last month,
meaning that an attack is considered highly likely.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group, which
has recently taken control of territory in in Syria
and Iraq, poses the greatest-ever security risk to
the country.
