Police have arrested five suspected Islamist terrorists, working as street cleaners in London, over an alleged plan assassinate the Pope.
The men were arrested during raids at 5.45am at a rubbish depot in central London based on an intelligence tip off received overnight.
The suspects, aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50 were arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
They are said to be from a variety of nationalities including a number of Algerian origin.
The depot where they worked is less than a mile from Hyde Park where the Pope was due to hold a prayer vigil tomorrow evening.
As street cleaners they would have been able to move relatively freely and inconspicuously through the London crowds.

Wasn’t this the plot of Foul Play?
Whatever you do, don’t burn a Koran. That might upset the “peaceful” Muslims.

Good for this Telegraph reporter...
Not calling them “Asians” or some other dumbed down term...
If the Telegraph was in the US, it would EASILY be the best US newspaper. It almost always plays it down the middle.
Must be those pesky Presbyterians again...
Seriously, now, thank God these Islamic terrorists were caught. God Bless the Pope and protect him as he travels.
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”
Naw...these are muslim sanitation engineers.
NASA must call these guys immediately and tell them how proud they should be of their scientific and engineering achievements.
When Sarah starts living in the White House, NASA will go back to its roots. It will no longer be a muzzie outreach program.
where are the non existent 'moderate' muzzies today ???
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Clearly, murdering the Pope is an ugly direction.
We know where Obama stands.
They weren’t Amish?
Did you see how the media left out ‘muslim’?
I’m sure Olbermann, Fareek Zakirya and others will explain that since we have been trying to kill a muslim religious leader in bin Laden, then why should we expect western religious leaders to be immune from retaliation. It’s really our fault.
hey your Holiness
time to call for the next Crusade
Who would answer the call?
