I wonder if Bushler will take credit for this too?: "Police raids target 'terror plot'"

From the BBC:

Police raids target 'terror plot'

Eight people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in Birmingham after a "significant" operation involving police and security service MI5.

A number of addresses in the city have been sealed off after morning raids.

Security sources have told the BBC the alleged plot would not have involved mass casualties but marked "a different approach to terrorism in the UK".

The "nationwide operation" involved the Midlands counter terrorism unit, west Midlands Police and the Met Police.

1. This is part of an ongoing operation, I'm surprised Bush** hasn't mentioned it yet

First arrests were made last week:

"Today's arrests came after police detained a total of five people in anti-terror raids in Manchester and Halifax, West Yorkshire, last week.

Officers arrested two 24-year-old men and a 32-year-old in Manchester on January 23 as part of an investigation into the disappearance of a man being monitored under a control order.

The same day, unarmed Metropolitan police anti-terrorist officers supported by West Yorkshire police arrested two men in dawn raids in the Pellon area of Halifax. Rizwan Ditta, 29, of Royd Terrace, Halifax, and Bilal Mohammed, 26, of Thrum Hall Close, Halifax, were later charged with terror offences.

The pair were remanded in custody yesterday to appear before London's City of Westminster magistrates court on February 6 by video link.

Mr Ditta faces 13 charges under the Terrorism Act, while Mr Mohammed is accused of two.

The charges relate to alleged possession of extremist material, said to include an al-Qaida training film and a computer file called Hamas Bomb."

At least the Brits are doing this the right way, using the civilian criminal courts. And I'd guess we have nothing to do with it since Bush** hasn't crowed about it.

2. I'm sure he will.

He sucks all the terror out of British terror plots whenever possible.
