| 2014-06-01 |
[BBC] Police at Heathrow Airport have tossed in the calabooseYou have the right to remain silent... a 19-year-old man suspected of terror offences, the Met has said. He was detained by counter-terror SO15 officers on suspicion of "preparing for acts of terrorism". A front man said the arrest was "Syria-related". The force said it had searched an address in Camden, north London, but that the arrest was "not in response to any immediate risk or threat". The teenager is being held in jug at a south London cop shoppe. In a separate incident at the airport, the Met said officers from the same unit arrested a 20-year-old who they believe sent "money/property overseas for the purposes of assisting terrorism in Syria". The British national was arrested as he entered the UK and is also being detained in south London. Both suspects were held under the Terrorism Act 2006. |
