Arrests Over 'Islamist Plot To Attack UK'

Four men have been arrested by police investigating an alleged Islamic extremist plot to carry out an attack in the UK, according to Sky sources.

A 27-year-old man was detained at gunpoint in a car in the street in Southall, west London.

Two other suspects, aged 22 and 25, were arrested at addresses in Hounslow and Uxbridge, also in the west of the capital.

The fourth man, 19, was detained at an address in High Wycombe.

Armed police also took part in the raids at the addresses in Hounslow and High Wycombe but no shots were fired.

The arrests took place on Thursday evening and in the early hours of Friday.

Counter-terrorism officers were leading searches of various properties, including a terraced house on Desborough Avenue in High Wycombe, Sky's Tom Parmenter reported from the scene.

Local shopkeeper Sutha Tangaraj works opposite the house and told Sky News he saw the armed police arrive.

"At about 7pm or 7:30pm at least half a dozen armed police surrounded the house, they knocked the door and no one answered.

"A lady in the house eventually opened the door and they went and have since been searching ever since."

He said police were at the same address six months ago.

Mr Tangaraj said the man who lives at the property "is a regular customer and lives in the house with his family - his mother is very chatty".

The four men were all taken to police stations in central London. 

Scotland Yard said the arrests and subsequent searches were part of an "ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism".

Sky's home affairs editor Mark White said: "Scotland Yard are officially giving very little in the way of information on these arrests, but sources are suggesting it is linked to an alleged extremist plot against the UK."
