Theo

British police said on Wednesday they had arrested three men in northern England on suspicion of “committing, preparing and inciting terrorist attacks”.

“This evening we executed a number of planned warrants as part of an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation,” said Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts, who is responsible for counter-terrorism policing in the north west of England.

“Three men have been taken into custody for questioning and the scenes remain as we continue to investigate.”

Greater Manchester Police’s statement gave no further details about the arrests, but police did not currently believe there was any major threat involved.
