Counter-terrorism police have arrested four men on suspicion of plotting acts of terrorism. The coordinated operation took place across multiple English regions, targeting locations in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the West Midlands.
The arrests were carried out in the cities of Leeds, Huddersfield, Derby and West Bromwich. According to Yorkshire sources, one of the arrestees from Huddersfield is 31 years old.
Multi-regional operation
