LONDON (Reuters) - British police said on Saturday they had arrested 14 men in a major new anti-terrorism operation in the capital just three weeks after uncovering a suspected plot to bring down U.S.-bound airliners over the Atlantic.
Officers arrested the men in raids in south and east London on Friday night and early on Saturday morning.
