From the BBC. It is important to mention this is an entirely separate cell and unconnected with the terrorists who were planning to blow up several planes over the Atlantic Ocean.
Armed police have arrested 14 men following anti-terror raids in London, including 12 arrests at a restaurant in the Borough area.
Police said the arrests were not connected to the alleged transatlantic jet bomb plot or the 7 July attacks.
An Islamic school near Tunbridge Wells has also been searched as part of the same operation.
The Jameah Islameah property, on Catt’s Hill near Crowborough, East Sussex, is an Islamic teaching facility for boys aged between 11 and 16.
According to its website the 54-acre premises also encourages Islamic groups to “appoint a person from your centre who wishes to serve the community and send them to us to be trained”.
The BBC’s security correspondent, Gordon Corera, said the arrests were linked to allegations of “training camps” within the UK for people who want to engage in terrorist acts.
“This involves people suspected of facilitating training activity within the UK which might have allowed others to take part in terrorist activity,” he said.
hehe Confederate Yankee had the same take.
It appears the UK has a very serious problem. Maybe these were some of the “moderate muslims” Miss England was refering to?
Mary Katharine Ham at Townhall.com:
They must have some serious evidence on these guys to raid a restaurant with more than 50 officers (Update: 50 officers in riot gear), it would seem. Two more suspects were arrested in their homes during simultaneous raids of south, east, and north London addresses. All are being held for the “alleged recruitment, training and encouraging of people to take part in terrorist acts.”
According to the Independent, these arrests are connected with the arrest of a Pakistani man in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, on August 23.
The school only had nine students at its last inspection, which seems very noteworthy considering the size of the facility. The school advertises to Islamic centers as a central instruction point for leaders of Muslim communities. Given the size of the facility, either Jameah Islameah has fallen on hard times — which seems unlikely given the current state of affairs — or it served as something more than an instructional facility.
