British police have arrested eight men as part of two separate counterterrorism investigations.
Five men, four of whom are Iranian nationals, were arrested in London, Swindon and Greater Manchester on Saturday as part of an investigation into a plot to “target specific premises,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement early Sunday.
The site targeted by the plot, which was not named for “operational reasons,” has been made aware and is being supported by police, the Met added.
