Four men have been arrested in London in a counter-terrorism operation, the Metropolitan Police have said, according to the BBC.

Scotland Yard said they were held under the Terrorism Act 2000 on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

Armed officers were involved in the arrests, which took place Sunday evening in the Whitechapel, Bayswater and Peckham areas, according to the report.

Police said searches were taking place at six addresses.

In a statement the Met said the arrests were made during a "pre-planned, intelligence-led operation." The men have been taken to a south London police station.

A man who saw an arrest taking place in told the BBC said he saw three men being held by against a wall by officers.

"There was quite a lot of police," he said. "There was quite a scene as I approached."

I like how the writer had to differentiate between armed/unarmed police. England is so screwy.

Mohammed, mohamed, mahahamed, and mohammmeddd all had no comment, when contacted by the press, other than “Allahu Akbar”, which means “we hope you have a lovely day” in Jihadi.

Actually, until England started going multikulti, there was no real need for armed police. Many, many years ago I read a memoir of a Norwegian sailor stranded in London turned Bobby. Absolutely no arms but the nightsticks. It should still be somewhere in the library here.

Culture is everything.

Yes, its screwy that the UK dosent need its everyday police to be armed....
