Police raided 14 properties on Monday and remain at 10 of those premises.
A woman held on suspicion of failing to disclose information contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000 has been bailed.

16 Suspected 'Anonymous' Hackers Arrested in Nationwide Sweep
Wait for it...
The flood of attacks that will follow.
Foxnewshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Sixteen suspected members of "Anonymous" were arrested this morning in states across the country, from California to New York, in a federal raid on the notorious hacking group.
The arrests Tuesday, first reported by FoxNews.com, are part of an ongoing investigation into Anonymous, which has claimed responsibility for numerous cyberattacks against a variety of websites, including Visa and Mastercard.
The Department of Justice, in announcing the arrests and more than 35 search warrants in the case, said the case stemmed from an alleged cybertattack on the website PayPal over its action against controversial group WikiLeaks, one of the inspirations for the hacker group Anonymous.
Fourteen of the arrests were identified in the same indictment out of California, while two separate criminal complaints filed out of courts in Newark, N.J., and Tampa, Fla., name the two other alleged hackers. All are believed to have been involved in carrying out nationwide coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on multiple high-profile, billion-dollar companies.

NATO says district Afghan Taliban chief arrested
And the Taliban think they are winning .
Stupid Ass Clowns .
Associated press
KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai has signed a decree launching an Afghan program to lure Taliban foot soldiers off the battlefield, as troops continue rounding up mid- to senior-level militant commanders including a Taliban leader captured in a four-hour gunbattle in the south, NATO said Thursday.
NATO said the Taliban district chief of Now Zad was captured and an unspecified number of insurgents were killed during an Afghan-international force operation Wednesday night in the remote Baghran district in northern Helmand province.
Taliban fighters inside the compound fired rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns before troops called in a precision airstrike, NATO said.
There were no casualties among civilians, Afghan troops or international service members, but an undisclosed number of Taliban were killed or wounded, the alliance said. Helmand provincial spokesman Dawood Ahmadi said 31 militants were killed.
The joint force seized dozens of automatic weapons, grenade launchers and 20 pounds of opium in the compound at Now Zad, a former insurgent stronghold where U.S. Marines have reported progress in winning over the population after a major offensive last summer.
NATO has reported that 130 mid- to senior-level Taliban have been killed or captured across the nation in the past four months.

Pakistan arrests 2 senior Afghan Taliban
A little coordinated effort is all it takes .
With the arrest of two more Taliban leaders in Pakistan , the rest of the leadership must be pooping themselves right now .
KUNDUZ, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Pakistan has captured two "shadow governors" belonging to Afghanistan's Taliban movement, an Afghan official said on Thursday.
The timing of the reported arrests coincides with the capture of Taliban's second-in-command Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in Pakistan's Karachi by Pakistani and U.S. agents this month.
Mullah Abdul Salam and Mullah Mir Mohammad, respectively the shadow governors of the northern Afghan provinces of Kunduz and Baghlan happened in Pakistan's Baluchistan province, the Afghan governor for Kunduz said.
"My information about their capture, which occurred nearly a week ago, is based on national intelligence sources," Mohammad Omar told Reuters.
Pakistan has yet to comment about the report on the arrest of the two men, who both reported to Baradar.
Since their ouster from power by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001, the Taliban have appointed shadow governors whose primary responsibility is organizing Taliban military activities.
The reported detentions come after mounting criticism by some U.S. officials who say Islamabad is not tackling Afghan Taliban based on it soil, using it as a base for carrying out attacks on Afghan and foreign troops across the border.
Washington has hailed Pakistan for the capture of Baradar, the seniormost Taliban leader to be held since the movement's ouster from power in Afghanistan more than eight years ago

UK: 4 charged in terror arrests - "Religious leader" goes free
And there's STILL no mention of the "Religious Leader's" name! There's no mention here, here or here either. Imam got their tongue, I wonder? (They may have let him go but it looks like they got a couple of Shayk Asif Farooqui's relatives, though.)
From BBC News:
Four men have been charged with terror-related offences after raids last week, Greater Manchester Police have said.
Israr Malik, 21, of Fallowfield, Manchester, has been charged with intending to commit acts of terrorism, namely violent jihad.
Three others face charges of intending to assist others to commit terrorism.
They are Munir Farooqi, 52, of Longsight, Haris Farooqi, 26, of Levenshulme, both in Manchester, and Matthew Newton, 27, of Stalybridge.
Munir Farooqi, the father of Haris Farooqi, was also charged with three counts of soliciting or encouraging another to murder on 6 July, 15 October and 16 October this year.
All four are due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Monday.
A fifth man, aged 62, from Deane, Bolton, was released without charge. He is understood to be a Muslim cleric.
Update: Is this Israr Malik's Facebook page? (I don't want to friend him.)
Matthew Newton w/ Bez before Islamization. --->
Newton was reported to have previously run a clothing business with the son of the former Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez, of the Happy Mondays band.
For his part, Bez sez -
According to Britain's The Sun tabloid, Matthew Newton, who once ran a T-shirt firm with Bez's (real name Mark Berry) son, Arlo, was arrested with four men aged 21 to 67 in a sweep on Monday.
"It's shocking for me and my dad," Arlo told The Sun. "Matt's a top geezer. I've known him for two or three years. He got on with my dad and with everyone."
<--- Matthew Newton after Islamization.The Sun reports Newton converted to Islam two years ago. It also says his Facebook page shows in clean-shaven with Bez at one point, and later wearing "Muslim garb" and sporting a beard.
Bez's spokesperson told The Sun Newton's arrest has "nothing to do with Bez."

More on the UK "Religious Leader" arrested on terror charges.
The interesting thing - the "Religious Leader's" name is never mentioned in this article. (Shaykh Asif Farooqui) And neither is his mosque. (Ar-Rahman Masjid) You'd think they were trying to persuade people that Islam is a religion of peace or something. Nothing to see here. Move along, sheeple.
Terror raid protest at police HQ
About 120 people are taking part in a protest outside Greater Manchester Police (GMP) headquarters in support of those arrested in terror raids.
Five men were arrested on Monday on suspicion of inciting terrorism overseas following raids across Greater Manchester and near Heathrow Airport.
Police were given seven days to question the men, aged 21-62.
A force spokesman said it recognised the community had some concerns regarding the ongoing investigation. He said: "We fully recognise people's right to protest and whenever an event is organised GMP will work alongside the organisers to ensure a safe event."
If it's all the same to the protesters, based on past experience Dinah will wait to see what charges are going to be filed before grabbing a sign and taking to the streets to declare his innocence. That goes ditto for signing an online petition.

Iraqi forces seize 140 insurgent suspects in Mosul
Is Iraq starting to take an interest in Taking back their Country from Militant Muslims , Like Al Qaida ?
....
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi troops have arrested 140 suspected al Qaeda members and other Sunni Arab militants in the past four days in raids on the northern city of Mosul, security officials said on Saturday.
Mosul is the last urban stronghold of a largely Sunni Arab insurgency that comprises Islamist groups such as al Qaeda plus some members of Saddam Hussein's outlawed Baath party.
"This operation targets al-Qaeda and Baathists in the city ... and those collaborating with them," said Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Mohammed al-Askari.
He added the number of Iraqi forces had been increased around the city to cordon off insurgent activity.
A local security official who declined to be identified said the crackdown, conducted by an elite Iraqi anti-terrorist unit from Baghdad, netted 140 suspected insurgents. A hundred of the detainees had been moved to jails in Baghdad, he said.
He said that 100 others were still wanted by authorities.

TTP spokesman Muslim Khan arrested
Nice ! A couple of the biggest asswipes from the Taliban get arrested !
It sure seems like a lot of Taliban have been taken into custody lately , instead of Giving it up in Battle !
Dawn.com....
PESHAWAR: Pakistan said Friday it arrested the current chief spokesman of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, formerly a commander and spokesman of the Swat Taliban, capturing the first most-wanted ring leaders behind a devastating two-year insurgency.
The northwest valley slipped out of government control after Mullah Fazlullah rose up in July 2007, commanding thousands of followers who beheaded opponents, burnt schools and fought to enforce Islamic law.
Pakistan launched a blistering offensive against the Taliban in the district after militants marched out of the former tourist district, advancing further south towards the capital Islamabad in April and now claims the area is clear.
The country posted a reward of 50 million rupees (more than 600,000 dollars) for Fazlullah and offered rewards for 15 of his top lieutenants, last May but Friday marked the first announcement of any arrests from the list.
‘Muslim Khan and Mahmood Khan with head money of 10 million rupees (120,482 US dollars) have been arrested by security forces in a successful operation in Swat,’ military spokesman Athar Abbas said in a statement.
Muslim Khan was second on the most-wanted list behind Fazlullah. He earned notoriety as the hardline Taliban spokesman in Swat but was largely impossible to reach after the military launched its summer ground and air assault.
Mahmood Khan was number four on the most-wanted list, described as commander of Kuza Banda in northern Swat and, like the spokesman, had a 10-million-rupee price on his head.
‘Along with them, three other terrorist leaders Fazle Ghaffar, Abdul Rehman and Sartaj have been also been apprehended,’ the military statement said. There was no known bounty money for the three.
