    Five men held in Birmingham...

    5 Arrested and held under terrorism act...

    Five men have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in a series of dawn raids across the Birmingham area.

    The men, aged between 29 and 36, are being held on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.

    The arrests were made at five separate addresses and searches were also being carried out at two business properties.

    West Midlands Police said the action followed a complex investigation by its counter-terrorism unit.

    Families supported

    Throughout the morning, officers have been searching the properties where the raids took place, located in Sparkhill, Ward End, Hodge Hill, Bordesley Green and Aston.

    Another residential address in Stechford and business premises in central Birmingham and Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, were also being searched.

    Meanwhile, specially trained officers have been supporting the men's families and have been speaking to community leaders.

    In a statement, police said they were not seeking anyone else at this stage and stressed the arrests were not related to any immediate plot or threat to the public.

      Birmingham is a hotbed of immigrant innovation.

      And a squirrel sanctuary.


      (see CUK is educational).

      PS I think it is to with large Muslim communities. They don't like non-believers.

        Kenilworth has always been a hotbed of insurgency and extremism ever since Simon de Montfort rebelled against Henry III and set up Europe’s first directly elected parliament, and was besieged in Kenilworth castle.

          The rest of Britain buys the same water in blue Ty-nant bottles and pay through the nose for it.

                Birmingham & the Black country have a rich cultural heritage (1968-70). I'm talking Wizzard, Black Sabbath, and of course the mighty Led Zeppelin. Brummies invented metal.

                  and Judas Priest "Breaking the Law"
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
