Three Blackburn men arrested in terrorism probe
10:18pm Thursday 14th August 2008
THREE Blackburn men are being quizzed tonight after being arrested on suspicion of involvement in terrorism.
Two of the suspects were arrested at Manchester Airport this afternoon.
And the final suspect was arrested in the Accrington area this evening.
The men were arrested of suspicion of committing offences under the Terrorism Act 2006.
Police said the action was ‘the culmination’ of a counter terrorism operation between Lancashire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police.
Chief Superintendent Andy Rhodes, Divisional Commander for Eastern Division, said: “Lancashire Constabulary will investigate any information that is passed to us, and ensure it is accurate, before responding in a proportionate and measured way. “These arrests and subsequent searches of the nearby premises will be conducted with sensitivity and carried out as quickly as possible to ensure minimum impact on the three areas concerned. However, these types of enquiries can be complex and may take time to resolve.
“I would ask local residents to be patient with us and to be assured that we will keep them updated in relation to the investigation as and when we can.”
