Police have arrested five suspected Islamist terrorists, working as street cleaners in London, over an alleged plan assassinate the Pope.
The men were arrested during raids at 5.45am at a rubbish depot in central London based on an intelligence tip off received overnight.
The suspects, aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50 were arrested by officers from Scotland Yards Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
They are said to be from a variety of nationalities including a number of Algerian origin.
The depot where they worked is less than a mile from Hyde Park where the Pope was due to hold a prayer vigil tomorrow evening.
As street cleaners they would have been able to move relatively freely and inconspicuously through the London crowds.

I’ve looked all over the net and I can’t seem to find any video of the Pope burning a Koran.
What gives?
Oops. koran s/b LOWER case.
Has Obama apologized for the U.S.’s part in making these Muslims mad, yet?
I would
Mohammedans really are turning into a joke. The best analogy i ever head was that they are exactly like the Martians in “Mars Attacks”. They go to incredible lengths to deceive us,, they violate every peace overture in a manner so blatant that it’s almost funny, and their treachery knows no ends.
And as in the movie, they are appeased by the US government even as they are being murdered by them.
Religion of peace.
Does this mean that I finally get a free pass to froth like a demonically possessed lunatic and burn, rape and pillage? Oh wait, my religion is not satanic... only TROPers get to do that.
God damned filthy murderous political system is what Islam is. Nothing like a religion, other than it being satanic of course. Absolute filth.
Where is the outrage from the radical feminists about how women are treated in the muslim world?
Yup. I don't like some of the stories they come up with, but they DO NOT have the herd mentality laziness that dominates American journalism. They are diggers at the Telegraph, and they will dig pretty much anywhere. Unlike American reporters, they don't seem obsessed with whether or not their leftist colleagues are likely to nominate them for the Pulitzer.
Yes, that is EXACTLY it. I wish I had put it that way. Sure, they write some pretty negative stories about the right, but they do the same for the left, which is really the only thing you could ask.
6th guy arrested according to Fox (if I heard it right)
I like your cue/search word anticatholic, it is what it is.
Prayers up for intentions of Protection for Pope Benedict and all those in proximity for his journey.
The “successful” crusades were led by Christian kings.
I have no trouble seeing rank-n-file Crusaders showing up ... I just don’t see much in the way of leadership.
I saw a similar blurb on the scrolling text of an online video feed. I just checked the source URL, but the Telegraph has not updated their article, yet.
Where the hell is the STOP button? I want to get off!
Turn the keys, light the fires, no more muzzies.
Just sayin'.
I can even now “see” Barack Hussein Soetoro 0dinga Whatever 0bama giving the orders ...
I can't take credit for that one. Another FReeper added that keyword.
I sampled stories from MSNBC, MSNBCTV, CBS, ABC, and CNN.
None mentioned any Islamic or Muslim identity of the men arrested, nor showed any evidence that the staffers who wrote the stories were curious and pushed to find out.
Most mentioned a police account that they might be Algerian, and a street sweeper's account that they are north African.
If the Algerian / North African line is used, it is not used until after several paragraphs about street cleaners and other information.
The stories are all headlined regarding the arrests of the men for possible terrorism, yet the stories tend to be padded with background information on clergy abuse, rifts in the church, and many other paragraphs of content having nothing to do with the men who were arrested.
The CBS and ABC stories have identical paragraphs. See paragraphs 8/9 and 7/8.
