Home Secretary John Reid has been kept informed of developments

Eight people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act after early morning raids in Birmingham.

Police say a number of addresses in the city have been secured and sealed off after the raids and are now being searched by officers.

The operation was led by the Midlands counter terrorism unit with support from West Midlands Police officers.

The eight are being held "on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism".

In a statement, the force asked for the "continued support and co-operation of the public".

"Our message to people living in the West Midlands is to remain vigilant," the statement added.

Britian is really on the ball and they need to be.

We don't have near the number of young muslims they do over there and I hope it stays that way.

Some Brits are and, of course, I wish them Godspeed. However, the U.K.'s looney left is even more looney and more empowered than is ours. In a few days these leftists will be decrying these police actions regardless of the facts.

That's true, just like the they did with the cry's of racism on BB when there wasn't any.

Sometimes I wonder who our biggest enemy is, Islam or leftys?? I suppose they just feed and gorge off each other in their sick tormented way!

Anyway, looks like another good catch for the police here........ well done boys!!!
