#1 Additional: Seven Algerian nationals have been detained under powers allowing deportations for national security reasons, the Home Office has said. Six were held in London and one in Greater Manchester in an Immigration Service and police operation.
Sources said most of those held were among the eight men cleared in April of involvement in a ricin poison plot. The home secretary said he ordered the raids following "detailed submissions" from the police and security services. But Charles Clarke refused to comment on the individual cases of those detained on Thursday. The Metropolitan Police said no-one had been arrested on criminal charges. The Home Office said the seven people detained were being held in "secure prison service accommodation" under the 1971 Immigration Act.

#4 LOTR - None. Because European/UK law makes it impossible to deport someone if there's a risk of them being tortured back home.
