UK cops arrest 2 Muslim converts over London Olympics terror plot | | Two Muslim converts have been arrested by the UK police in East London,
on suspicion of plotting an attack on the London Olympic canoeing venue. Sources
claimed the arrests were based on a tip-off after the two men were seen behaving
suspiciously close to the venue in Waltham Abbey, Hertfordshire on Monday. According
to The Telegraph, the two men, aged 18 and 32, were arrested at separate residential
addresses in east London , by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter-Terrorism
Command and were detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 on suspicion of the commission,
preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. A friend of the arrested men
named the 18-year-old as Jamal ud-Din and said the older man was someone he knew
only as "Zakariya." Mizanur Rahman, 29, said the arrests "might have had something
to do with the fact that they recently went canoeing" on the River Lea, a branch
of which runs through the Olympic site in east London.
