Five men have been arrested close to a British nuclear plant under
anti-terrorism legislation, police said.

The men were detained after a stop check on a vehicle at the Sellafield
nuclear facility in West Cumbria on Monday.

The five, all aged in their 20s and from London, were arrested under the
Terrorism Act, a police spokesman said.

They were held in police custody overnight before being taken to Manchester
on Tuesday.

An investigation is now under way by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit.

Both the location and timing of the incident will cause concern.

The arrests came outside Sellafield, which handles highly dangerous nuclear
material, and were made within hours of the news breaking that Osama bin
Laden had been killed.
