Reuters: Second UK arrest linked to Canada swoop: BBC
Police arrested a second person under Britain’s anti-terrorism laws on Wednesday in an operation the BBC said was linked to last week’s security swoop in Canada.
The 16-year-old, who was not identified, was held in Yorkshire, northern England, after a man aged 21 was detained at Manchester Airport late on Tuesday, a police spokesman said.
“This is a continuation of last night’s operation at Manchester Airport,” the spokesman said.
The BBC, quoting unnamed sources, said the 21-year-old man, believed to be of Pakistani origin, was being questioned in connection with the arrest last week of 17 Muslim men in Canada accused of being al Qaeda sympathizers.
Police said the public broadcaster’s report was “speculation” and would not comment further.
Several of those arrested in Canada have been charged with plotting bombings in Canadian cities and training militants.
British officers were searching five properties in the northern English towns of Bradford and Dewsbury as part of the investigation.
The arrests were made less than a week after police in London shot and wounded a man during a raid on a house which they believed was being used to make a chemical bomb.
Police said no armed officers were involved in Tuesday’s arrest and the operation was not related to the London inquiry, which was still in progress.
