Three Terror Suspects Arrested in England
LONDON - Two men and a woman were arrested in central England as part
of an investigation into international terrorism, police said Thursday.
The three were arrested in Coventry on Tuesday and were being
questioned in London, Metropolitan Police said, without providing
details about what the detainees were suspected of doing.
Five premises in Coventry were searched and the investigation was
continuing at another location, police said.
The men, ages 29 and 30, and the woman, 41, were being held under
anti-terror legislation passed in 2000.
The suspects can be held without charge for as long as 14 days,
although police must seek court authorization to do so.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, more than 700 people have been
arrested under Britain's anti-terrorism laws. More than half were
released without charge, while 119 were charged with terrorist
offenses. Seventeen have been convicted.
Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, said
Thursday that hundreds of people in Britain could be plotting attacks.
"I am aware of the fact that there are very many numbers of people who
came back from the (terrorist training) camps in Afghanistan (news -
web sites) and who are therefore potentially a threat to the U.K.," he
told London's LBC radio. "That is a very dangerous issue for us all."
