Four Terror Suspects Arrested in Manchester
Why not just make this an all UK terrorism themed day? Three in the Manchester area have been picked up on terrorism related charges, and a fourth on related "immigration charges". Not much more information, but the charges are not related to the Glasgow and London bombings. I have some unconfirmed information about the arrests which I may share when more facts are known.

Anti-terrorism detectives said they arrested four men in Manchester on Wednesday after a tip-off warning of "the existence of a potential threat".Expect an update or two.The arrests were made in the Stockport Road district of Longsight, Manchester and are linked to alleged terrorist activity in the area, a Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said.
A fourth man was arrested under immigration legislation at an address in Hamilton Road, in the Longsight area of the city.
Police acted after receiving intelligence of alleged terrorist activity and the existence of a potential threat.
UPDATE: More from 24 Dash:
Neighbours said a group of men of Middle-Eastern appearance moved into the rented property two weeks ago.The neighborhood is said to have a huge "Asian" population, which is what the Brits call Indians/Pakistanis.Its ground-floor windows were already boarded up when they moved in, having been smashed by the previous tenants.
