Default 6 Bangladeshis arrested in London over terror plot

Six arrested in London anti-terror operation

Five men and a woman suspected of terrorism offences have been arrested in London as part of an intelligence-led investigation involving MI5.

One of the six, who are aged between 18 and 30, was Tasered by police. Eight homes in west, east and north London and one business are being searched.

It is understood the arrests relate to a possible plot involving Islamist extremists, with potential UK targets.

One of those arrested in Stratford is an ex-police community support officer.

The person served with the Metropolitan Police for more than two years before resigning in September 2009.


The Metropolitan Police said the arrests were not linked to the Olympics or Paralympic Games.

Security sources are describing the arrests as "significant", but there is no suggestion at the moment of any imminent attack, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw says.

It is understood that police involved in the long-running operation decided to act on Thursday on the grounds of public safety.

The UK terrorism threat level is unchanged from "substantial", which means a terrorist attack is a "strong possibility". There are two higher levels - "severe", meaning an attack is "highly likely", and "critical", meaning an attack is "expected imminently".

Some - if not all - of those arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism are British nationals, our correspondent adds.

They include a 21-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, who were detained at separate addresses in Ealing, west London, while a 29-year-old man was arrested in an Ealing street. The woman is married to one of the men.

Three brothers, aged 18, 24 and 26, were detained in Abbey Road, Stratford, east London, during the operation involving armed officers.

The 24-year-old man who was Tasered during his arrest did not need hospital treatment, police said.

All six have been taken to a police station in south-east London.

An eyewitness to the Stratford raid, Mark Window, told the BBC he had been woken up by an explosion at 04:15 BST.

"I looked out my window, saw loads of mini-explosions going off still, loads of black-clad figures milling around," he said.

"One was halfway up a ladder, through a window, and you realise it's some sort of police operation going on instead of kids messing about with fireworks which is what you think when you first wake up."

Though the BBC article doesn't state their heritage, Bangladeshi press have confirmed the accused are unfortunately Bangladeshi.

Really depressing...mind you, UK Bangladeshis are a lot more radicalized than their counter parts in the US/Can/Aus etc...

Look at the age range, 18-30. Most likely born and raised in the west...yet they hate it. Losers.
