UK: Anjem Choudary and others have been arrested in London

[Sonic Fan]

[QUOTE]Nine men, including the radical islamist preacher Anjem Choudary have been arrested in London on suspicion of being members of a banned organisation.

Officers are searching 18 premises in London and one in Stoke-on-Trent. The Met Police said it was part of an ongoing inquiry into Islamist-related terrorism and not in response to any immediate threat to the public. Mr Choudary is the former UK head of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun or Islam4UK, banned in the UK in 2010.

The arrested men, aged between 22 and 51, are being held at police stations in central London.[/QUOTE]

And that's the story of how the Daily Mail's front page editor went home early

I wonder if this is connected to Cameron saying at the UN yesterday that we must stamp out non-violent extremism - it definitely sounded like a direct reference to people like Anjem Choudary so maybe he had advance knowledge that this was about to happen
