A 29-year-old man was arrested in Swindon yesterday (3 May) as part of a counter-terrorism operation.

Eight men including seven Iranians were arrested in two separate counter-terrorism operations across England.

Five of the suspects were detained in the raids on Saturday as part of an alleged plot to target “a specific premises” the Metropolitan Police said.

The force did not identify the site but said it had been identified with the advice and support from counter-terror officers.
