WE'LL BE WATCHING THIS CLOSELY – AT 7:00 P.M. ET: From London's Daily Mail:
Three men were arrested in dawn raids this morning, taking to four the number being held over allegations of terrorism fundraising.
It follows the arrest on Thursday of a 30-year-old British Airways employee in Newcastle. A second BA staff member was among the group arrested this morning.
The three men, aged 31, 32 and 43, were seized by police at 5am today in Slough.
The men are now being questioned about a plot to fund a terrorist attack.
Police refused to clarify what positions the two BA employees had within the airline. Sources said the latest arrests were 'significant'.
And...
Scotland Yard said today: 'Three men were arrested in Slough for alleged offences of terrorist fundraising. The men were arrested at separate addresses by officers from the South-East Counter Terrorism Unit. As part of a joint operation with the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, the men were taken to a central London police station.'
COMMENT: I wonder if the guys from the Yard told them, "You have a right to remain silent," as we apparently do here, in Eric Holder's Justice Department. Why don't I think so?
What strikes me is the relentlessness of the terror-related activity over the past year. Sooner or later, one of these plots is going to make it through. Even Obama's voice can't stop it.
