Sky:
Police put a cordon on a Buttermere Close garage
1:49pm UK, Saturday May 12, 2012
A bomb disposal team has performed a controlled explosion at a garage block in Cheltenham after two men were arrested on terror charges.
Residents of more than 100 homes remain evacuated after police set up a cordon following the arrests.
The alarm was first raised yesterday following raids at two properties in the town.
Officers initially searched a home in Brooklyn Road, Hester’s Way, where they arrested a 52-year-old local man under the Explosive Substances Act.
Police then found items “requiring further investigation” in a garage in Buttermere Close, in the Up Hatherley area of the town.
A 31-year-old man was subsequently arrested, Gloucestershire Constabulary confirmed.
“At the moment we unfortunately are not able to say when we will be able to lift the cordon (in Buttermere Close),” Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry told Sky News.
The garage is located less than one mile from the Government electronic eavesdropping centre GCHQ.
Wonder what the target was? Something vital or something for headlines?
Intended use I suspect was the 2012 Summer Olympics, London
That would be a headline target, personally I expect the security to be so tight no terrorist attack will take place.
