London – British Arrest 16 in Anti-Terror Raids

London – Police have arrested 14 people in and around London suspected of trying to train and recruit others for terror attacks.
Two others were arrested in a separate raid in the northern city of Manchester.

Police said the arrests were not linked to an alleged plot which emerged last month to bomb as many as 10 trans-Atlantic jets.

The two arrests in Manchester were part of the same investigation that led to the Aug. 23 arrest of a terror suspect who is still being held but has not been identified, the former lord mayor of Manchester and now a race relations adviser, said the outlawed radical group Al-Muhajiroun had been recruiting members in the area, a diverse neighborhood where Muslims and Jews live in close proximity.
