LONDON, July 5 (RIA Novosti) - Five men and a woman were arrested on Thursday in London on suspicion of taking part in terrorist activity in an on-going Scotland Yard operation in the run-up to the 2012 Olympic Games, the British police said.
One 21-year old man and a 30-year old woman were arrested at their home in west London, and a 29-year old man was arrested on the street. Three other men, aged 18, 24 and 26, were arrested in east London.
Scotland Yard did not disclose the details of whether a specific terrorist attack had been prepared.
The latest arrests follow a series of other operations against terror suspects in Britain. In mid-June, two British men who were converts to Islam were arrested, and a few days ago the police held two suspected Basque terror suspects from the ETA group.
