UK police arrest 4 men suspected of terror plot Brett Akop p.5

"Four men were arrested Tuesday in London on suspicion of planning an act of terrorism, one that the city's police commissioner described as "quite a serious case."" Armed police officers managed to help arrest the men; two of which were 20 and the remaining were 21. Britain is not ideally known for its crime rate so it's rare to see an occurrence like this take place. "A UK security source said Tuesday that authorities may have foiled a terror plot aimed at Britain in its early stages. Islamic terrorism was "the clear reason" for the plot, according to the source." It is good to know that UK police stopped a potentially destructive act of terror in its tracks. "Scotland Yard has announced that the four are being held on suspicion related to the "commission, preparation or instigation of act of terrorism." Authorities have not detailed exactly where or when such terrorist attacks might have occurred or what or who they might have involved." Although it is not definitive what the group of mens' intentions were, it is reassuring to know that these types of situations are somewhat in control.
