Terror suspects held in raids - from The BBC

Eight British men suspected of being involved in terrorist activity have been arrested in a series of raids across the south of England.
More than half a ton of ammonium nitrate fertiliser was also seized from a self storage unit in west London.


This is a breaking story and too soon to tell what is really going on here. But look at this tidbit at the end of the story.

Tuesday's operation is the latest in a series of raids carried out by anti-terror police, most of which resulted in suspects being released without charge.

and then the very next paragraph

Some raids have led to prosecutions which are waiting to go to trial. No further details can be given for legal reasons.

Most and some, released and prosecutions. The article was posted at 11:28 UK time so I guess the writer was in a hurry to get to that G&T at lunch time. No time to be accurate or thorough.

Or, is it more subtle than that. Looks like the Beeb maybe pouring cold water on Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir John Stevens. Remember his recent comments that an attack was inevitable? here
