Five Arrested In Luton On Terrorism Charges
Scotland Yard have announced the arrest of five men on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
They were arrested at separate addresses in Luton, Beds, in an "intelligence-led" operation, the Metropolitan Police added.
The men, aged between 21 and 30, are being held at a London police station.
The BBC has reported there was no imminent threat to the UK, but the arrests are described as significant.
Unarmed Metropolitan Police officers assisted by Bedfordshire Police have made the arrests under the Terrorism Act 2000.
A statement from the Bedfordshire force has said "there is no danger to the other nearby residents" and the families of those arrested have been advised to find alternative accommodation while the searches continue.
The operation in Luton is linked to searches at five addresses in the town on 2 September 2011, although they may not be the same five as those where the arrests took place on Tuesday morning.
