No detail at all...
Quick, are those who have been arrested Buddist Monks, Japanese school girls, Swedish septagenarians, Flameco dancers from Spain, American grandmothers from Omaha, the Inuit from Alaska or are they perhaps Muslim males between the ages of 15 and 50?

Anti-terror police swooped on what is thought to be the home of a hospital doctor as part of the investigation into the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow.
A police cordon and tent were in place at the detached property in a suburban cul-de-sac in north Staffordshire.
The Metropolitan Police would neither confirm nor deny that the search was linked to arrests of a man and woman on the M6 in Cheshire yesterday.
Officers arrived at the house in Sunningdale Grove, Chesterton, last night, said residents. The house, they said, was rented by a doctor thought to be married with one young child.
Sunningdale Grove is a cul-de-sac of around 20 houses situated off the A34 on the northern outskirts of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are not prepared to say whether the search in Newcastle-under-Lyme has a direct connection to the arrests made on the M6, however the search and the arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into the attacks in London and Glasgow."
The search was a joint operation carried out by officers from the Metropolitan Police, Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit and Staffordshire Police
Out of harm's way: Police officers hold down one of the badly-burned men outside the Glasgow arrivals hall moments after he had set himself alight
Two doctors held over bomb attacks
Held: The couple are arrested on the M6
· Members of al-Qaida linked group run by ‘Mr Big’ still at large
· Five arrested suspects were not born in Britain, say sources
· Glasgow and London attempts linked as probe gathers pace
Police and the security services are still hunting for at least three members of an al-Qaida linked terrorist cell suspected of attempting to commit mass murder using car bombs in London and Glasgow. Counter-terrorism officers believe the cell has at least eight members, linked by a controlling “Mr Big”.

Allegedly two of the suspect terrorists held by Police for the Glasgow and London bombings attempts are NHS Doctors.
One of the doctors was the person to emerge on fire from the burning SUV Jeep at Glasgow Airport and is said to be from Iran. The other doctor arrested on the M6 and is said to be of Jordanian origins and is thought to be behind the planning of the attacks.

Last night five people were in custody as it emerged that:
• The same two men may have been responsible for the Glasgow and the London bomb attempts;
• Police were on the trail of the suspected bombers before the airport attack and narrowly missed tracking them down;
•Doctors and a woman are in custody;
• Police are still hunting at least one suspect;
• Experts revealed the attack on Glasgow airport aimed to kill and maim hundreds in a massive fireball;
• Gordon Brown raised the prospect of detaining suspects without charge for more than 28 days and allowing the use of phone-tap evidence in court.
The Daily Telegraph has learnt that the same two men may have been responsible for all three car bombs.
Anti-terrorism police are confident they have the key men involved in custody - one of them suffering from 90 per cent burns after smashing a Jeep, packed with petrol and gas canisters, into the terminal at Glasgow.

But they are still searching for at least one more member of what is believed to be an al-Qa'eda cell intent on launching attacks across the country.
Officers raided the house of Dr Mohammed Asha, in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffs, at around 10pm on Saturday night.
Neighbours said he was a Lebanese doctor working at the North Staffordshire Hospital, Stoke, and lived there with his wife and baby boy. Asha, 26, and a woman of 27 were arrested as police cornered them on the M6 near Sandbach, Cheshire. Police sources said Asha was arrested as he approached Sandbach services driving north.
In Liverpool, people living near houses raided by police said they believed the occupants were medical students.

At the nearby village of Houston, police said two other men, who are now in custody, are believed to have rented a semi-detached house and had only been north of the border for three months.
Assistant Chief Constable John Neilson said: "The people we have in custody came to Scotland a short while ago to seek work. I'm sure the community in Glasgow in particular will be reassured. These are not your young people."
There was a suggestion that police had been hot on the trail of the two men before they attempted their attack.
The director of an agency which rented out the property in Houston said he returned home around 10 minutes before the attacks in the airport to find a note from Strathclyde Police asking him to get in touch about two of his tenants.
Officers wanted to speak to him about the Asian men living at Neuk Crescent, which was raided at 4.30am yesterday. Daniel Gardiner, the owner of the Let It agency, said it would be "heartening" to know that the police had intelligence on the men involved, even if they failed to prevent the attack.
More arrests are expected as police try to hunt down the al-Qa'eda cell responsible for the co-ordinated attacks.
