LONDON, Dec 23, (AFP): Police in Britain said Wednesday they had arrested a 31-year-old man in London in connection with suspected “extremist Islamist terrorism”. “The man was detained by offi cers at a business address in south London” on Tuesday, London’s Metropolitan Police said. “The arrest is being linked to extremist Islamist terrorism,” it said, adding that police had also searched a residential address in south London.
The man is suspected “of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism,” the statement added. Contacted by AFP, the police could not give further details. Prime Minister David Cameron last month said that British security services had foiled seven terror attacks over the past year and the country’s terror alert level has been set at “severe” since August 2014.
