The Guardian: Four men of Turkish and Azerbaijani origin detained on suspicion of organizing terrorism in London
Four men are held in London on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Among them was a 28-year-old man of Azerbaijani origin who was also arrested, The Guardian reports.
One of the arrested is believed to be a 25-year-old British national of Turkish origin and the other one a British national of Algerian origin, also 25.
“The operation to stop the men in the street away from their homes was pre-planned, partly because of concerns that they could have weapons,” the article reads.
According to “The Guardian” the arrested were planning to launch attacks of the kind that killed 164 people in 2008 in Mumbai, India, and last month killed at least 67 people in the Westgate shopping center in Nairobi, Kenya.
