"Counter-terrorism officers have arrested six men, with the authorities fearing a mass-casualty attack on the British mainland was at an "advanced stage" of planning, the Guardian has learned.
The arrests were made in Birmingham, with six young men arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts, with a 22-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information.
Police say the alleged plot, which they believe to be al-Qaida inspired, was thwarted after counter-terrorism officials received or developed intelligence about the men."
