Five men have been arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, Scotland Yard said.
Anti-terror police swooped on a series of different addresses before dawn as part of a ‘pre-planned, intelligence-led’ operation.
The men, aged 21, 23, 24, 25 and 30, were all arrested at separate homes in Luton this morning and have been taken to a central London police station for questioning.
Searches under the Terrorism Act 2000 are taking place at all five of the addresses and inquiries are ongoing, Scotland Yard said.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism command said: ‘Officers from the counter-terrorism command have today, Tuesday April 24, arrested five men on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
‘All five were arrested at separate residential addresses in Luton. They have been taken to a central London police station where they remain in custody.
‘The arrests were a part of a pre-planned, intelligence-led operation.
‘Search warrants were also executed under the Terrorism Act 2000 at five residential addresses in Luton in connection with this inquiry and searches are ongoing.’
Five of them sounds like a cell. And a ‘pre-planned, intelligence-led’ operation – that sounds like they were infiltrated by British Intelligence perhaps.
Five guys sounds like a cell. Prepplanned intelligence operations sounds like an infiltration by British Intelligence.
