South Wales Echo
|May 05, 2025
EIGHT men have been arrested in two separate counter-terrorism police investigations.
-
Five men, including four Iranian nationals, were arrested at locations across England on Saturday on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act, after a suspected plot “to target a single premises” was uncovered, the Metropolitan Police said. The force added that a further three Iranian men were arrested on Saturday as part of a separate operation.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the arrests were sparked by “serious events that demonstrate the ongoing requirement to adapt our response to national security threats”.
