Britain arrests three over international terrorism

LONDON (Reuters) – Three men have been arrested in Britain
as part of an investigation into international terrorism,
London’s Scotland Yard said on Saturday.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Anti-Terrorist
Branch arrested two of the men late on Friday at separate
addresses in Chatham, Kent, southeastern England and Shepherds
Bush, west London.

A third man was arrested on Saturday morning after he
voluntarily went to a London police station.

The men, all in their 20s, were detained on suspicion of
the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism. The
investigation is separate from the enquiries into the London
bombings in July, police said.

Police were searching the Chatham and Shepherds Bush
addresses in addition to a property in the Paddington area in
west London.

No hazardous materials have been found, although police
said the searches would continue.
