Early Monday morning, seven people were arrested under the Terrorism Act
2000 and were taken to a central London police station. Of the seven men
arrested, six were described as North African and aged between 23 and
48, and one as east European and aged 22. Police continued to search the
premises late on Monday morning, and could be seen removing computer
equipment and bags of files.
Scotland Yard said the "intelligence-led" raid was linked to the
discovery of the poison ricin in nearby Wood Green earlier this month.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said: "It's part of this whole
nationwide operation to try to wrap up this network of suspected
Algerian militants here in Britain."
--------------------------------------------
I am only surprised that it has taken this long for the security
services to start rooting out all the terrorists hidden among us. The
trouble with being an "open" society, willing to help people from all
round the world, is that we get taken advantage of by people who wish to
destroy our society. I am also surprised that I have not read about
similar activity by the security forces in USA. Surely they must also be
searching for the many terrorists already hiding in the country?
It is going to be a long job to disinfect our houses and I am sure that
we will have to live through some rather nasty events before it is over.
And a nice, well-mannered "live-and-let-live" attitude will not persuade
them to leave us alone. They are here to destroy as many of us as they
can, not to negotiate with us.
Take care, BillK
