Fourth Iranian man arrested in London terror probe
The Metropolitan Police said the 31-year-old was detained in north-west London on Friday morning under the National Security Act. Three other men - all from Iran and aged 39, 44 and 55 - were arrested in London on 3 May as part of the investigation. Police have obtained warrants to hold those three men until 17 May.

The investigation is separate to one involving an alleged plot to target the Israeli embassy in London, for which four other Iranian men are still being questioned, while a fifth has been released on bail. On Tuesday, Home Office minister Dan Jarvis described the two separate investigations as “some of the largest counter-state threats and counter-terrorism actions that we have seen in recent times”. He also confirmed the men were the “first Iranian nationals arrested under the National Security Act”.

Wow. So, 8 all together? I don’t think the US news media has picked up on these details of it being 2 separate plots. Maybe they will Monday.
