Terror alert in London, 6 held London, July 5 A series of raids are being carried out in west, east and north London as security forces arrested the six persons as part of a planned intelligence-led operation conducted over the past few weeks. The police said the operation was not linked to the Olympics. The current threat level is classed as ‘Substantial’ — a terrorist attack is a strong possibility. The six arrested — five men and a woman — were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000, and have been taken to a south east London police station where they remain in custody. There were reports that at least two of the arrested were brothers, but this was not confirmed by the police.
