2. CNN update

All of the men are believed to be British, between 20 and 30 years old. (already reported above) They were arrested in four seperate raids.

CNN now speculating that these arrests were in conjunction with the al-Qaeda arrest in Pakistan... hours after the arrest, the police began the raids in Britain.
