Five arrested for suspected terror planning The addresses are in an area of Luton already known for its Islamic population. The Stockholm Christmas suicide bomber, Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly had been living in the area before he blew himself up and injured two shoppers in Sweden in December 2010. One of the men convicted of the 2004 fertiliser bomb plot to use on a target in southern England also lived in the area as did a man named in court at the time as an alleged facilitator and accused of helping 7/7 bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan attend a terror training camp in Pakistan. It is understood there is no link between the latest arrests and any previous plot or investigation. Imran Shehzad, 34, said officers had arrested his 23-year-old brother Umar at the address which they share. This problem started in September when the police came to our property. They seized a lot of property. He was never arrested, cautioned or any explanation given. They seized a whole lot of property belonging to my family and children . Things like laptops and kids project books," he said. Yesterday, residents living near one of the homes targeted were sent leaflets by local police warning them that a neighbour had been arrested in connection with a "serious crime." All five men were being questioned in London last night. A Met spokesman said: "Officers from the counter-terrorism command have today, Tuesday April 24, arrested five men on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Search warrants were also executed under the Terrorism Act 2000 at five residential addresses in Luton in connection with this inquiry and searches are ongoing.
