“Religious leader arrested in terror raid”

SNIPPET: “A RELIGIOUS leader is among five men arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
The Muslim preacher and three others were arrested in raids across Greater Manchester this morning.
The man, who has not been named, teaches the Koran at a number of mosques across the region.
The 62-year-old was arrested at his home on Willows Lane, Deane, Bolton.
“I’m surprised. He carries out spiritual sessions twice-a-week. He is very spiritual,” said one source within the Muslim community.”
SNIPPET: “Police have said more arrests could follow.
Around 40 unarmed officers were involved in the raids and they are now searching the properties.
The raids took place at a mobile phone shop and the flat above on Stockport Road, Levenshulme. No-one was arrested at these properties.
Police arrested a 52-year-old man at a house on Victoria Terrace, Longsight, and a 21-year-old man at a property on Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield.
Later police arrested a 26-year-old man at a hotel near Heathrow Airport.”
SNIPPET: “Police are looking for computers, laptops and computers.”
