British police arrested 10 men in three different parts of the country today as part of an investigation into suspected international terrorism, a police statement said.
"Three men were arrested in the Croydon area of south London, four in Wolverhampton and three in Derby," London's Scotland Yard police service said. It said the investigation was separate from the probe into July's London bomb attacks.
"At approximately 4am today police executed warrants at three residential addresses, making a total of 10 arrests, all on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000," police said.
"The arrests were made as the result of an intelligence led investigation involving police and the Security Service (more commonly known as MI5)," the statement said.
It did not say what sort of group the police were investigating. Police were still searching the three locations raided, the statement said.
