Birmingham man nabbed on terror charges
2015-08-10
[BBC] A man from Birmingham has been arrested on suspicion of the "commission, preparation or instigation" of acts of terror.

The 27-year-old man was detained on Sunday after "suspicious items" were found at his home. Nearby houses were temporarily evacuated while West Midlands Police, the fire service and army officers conducted safety checks.

The house will remain cordoned off until Monday while searches continue. Police said there was no immediate risk to the public.

Officers had originally arrested the man on suspicion of "going equipped" and possession of an offensive weapon. He was then arrested on suspicion of terror offenses on Sunday afternoon following the house search.
