In the lower corner of page 8 of my Fort Worth Star Telegram I found the following report:[QUOTE]London--British police arrested eight men suspected of being Islamic terrorists Thursday during two raids in the industrial city of Derby in central England, authorities said. The police described the eight men as Middle Easterners in their 20s and said they were arrested under anti-terrorism laws. A large contingent of officers carried out the raids on two apartments, one above an Islamic book store. mAuthorities disclosed little about the operation.[QUOTE]

This report took up all of three column inches and seems very low keyed. You Brits know anything about the importance or unimportance of this cast of the net?

Eight men arrested in Derby under anti-terrorism laws have been freed without charge.

The men, all in their 20s and of Middle Eastern origin, were held in early morning raids on two houses in the city on Thursday.

The arrests were part of an ongoing operation and involved officers from Derbyshire and Metropolitan Police.

Officers conducted searches of the houses but found no weapons or toxic chemicals.

A police spokesman said: "The eight men arrested on Thursday under the Terrorism Act 2000 have been released from custody without charge."
