[dipsydoodle]

The Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism command has arrested nine men on suspicion of being members of banned organizations as well as supporting and encouraging terrorism.

The men, ranging in age from 22 to 51, are in custody in central London police stations.

Scotland Yard has also raided homes, businesses and community centers as part of the probe. Searches were underway Thursday at 18 sites in London and one residence in Stoke on Trent.

Police said in a statement that the arrests and searches were part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism rather than any immediate risk to public safety.

Think we may see a lot more of this across the UK in coming weeks.

Anjem Choudary among nine arrested in London anti-terrorism raid.

Anjem Choudary, one of the most high profile Islamists in Britain, has been arrested by police for allegedly encouraging terrorism.

Choudary, 47, was one of nine men arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command on Thursday morning.

Police gave only sparse details, but the men were arrested on suspicion of being members of a proscribed organisation, supporting a proscribed organisation, as well as encouraging terrorism.

Choudary was a former spokesperson for the extremist or radical group al-Muhajiroun, which was banned and then reinvented itself under various names, which were also proscribed.
