Pregnant woman arrested by terror police in her pyjamas
13:21pm 11th August 2006
The youngest of the terror suspects arrested in the raids was a heavily pregnant woman from Hackney, London.
The Asian woman was taken by police handcuffed and still wearing pyjamas from a top floor flat in Denver Road.
It has been reported today that the woman, who has not yet been named, is the wife of Muslim convert Oliver Savant. Eye witnesses described her as five foot tall with braided hair.
One witness said: "I heard a man shout and then the door was knocked through. I looked out of the window and saw a team of armed officers - wearing helmets and goggles - pour out of a black unmarked Mercedes people carrier.
"There were another two vans full of police wearing bullet-proof vests. And there were two guys who looked like intelligence agents who were controlling things."
In another raid, a young woman and her six month-old baby was taken into custoday.
It is believed that terrorists were planning to use liquid explosives to blow up the aeroplanes and as a result, airport security checks are forcing mothers to taste their bottles of baby milk before boarding.

Forgive my ignorance, but what would a "martyr" care about "tasting" the formula? Would the liquid be caustic? I don't understand how this could be a safe method of checking ANY liquid formula... help?
