LONDON - Police arrested 14 people on suspicion of terrorism offenses in raids around Britain Tuesday.

The suspects' names and nationalities were not released.

Four men were arrested in London, and four men and two women were arrested at two separate addresses in the university city of Cambridge, police said. Four men also were arrested in Dudley and Walsall in central England.

All 14 were detained "on suspicion of involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism," police said.

The arrests in London came during raids on six homes and three businesses in the southwestern section of the city, police said.

the question I have: why aren't we making any arrests in the US? They are making them all over Europe, Turkey, etc. Lots of UK arrests. But nothing here in the US it seems. Why?

By the way I see it, the Islamic fundamentalist are able to operate in the open in European countries. From what I have seen of news clips and cable news specials the Islamics have or at one time had quite a bit of freedom to preach their mess.

But I believe if they tried that here in the United States of America there would be no opportunity for the LE to make arrests. As soon as they start preaching that anti-American crap they would get the .
