Five Suspected Islamist Terrorists Arrested Over Pope Assassination Plot In UK

The Telegraph reports that the five "men were arrested during raids at 5.45am at a rubbish depot in central London based on an intelligence tip off received overnight. The suspects, aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50 were arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. They are said to be from a variety of nationalities including a number of Algerian origin. The depot where they worked is less than a mile from Hyde Park where the Pope was due to hold a prayer vigil tomorrow evening. As street cleaners they would have been able to move relatively freely and inconspicuously through the London crowds." Tweet
