Three held over 7 July bombings
Three men have been arrested in connection with the suicide bombings in London on 7 July 2005.
Two men, aged 23 and 30, were arrested shortly before 1300 GMT at Manchester Airport when they were due to catch a flight to Pakistan.
A third man, aged 26, was arrested at a house in Leeds shortly after 1600 GMT.
The men were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Well done to the police and the intelligence that lead to the arrest of these people.
Are you trying to jinx the police's efforts? Seems that bringing up the 'I' word is just tempting fate.

Indeed. So long as they are actually connected with the attacks. The British police doesn't exactly have the best record when it comes to arresting terrorists, now, does it?

That I would not know so I'm not going to comment.

Do you think arresting innocent people qualifies as good work, or believe everyone arrested is guilty, or have inside information about the suspects, or is it untrue that you refrain from commenting on what you dont know?

Depends if they are innocent or not. As of right now, I'm saying well done. If they are released with an apology, then no and will question the intel used to get them.

Hopefully these will actually result in charges, unlike most anti-terrorism raids in the last few years.

Absolutely. They are all innocent until proven guilty.

Thats a little too old. Something that happened 30 odd years ago doesn't really have any relevance today.

Bullshit. Considering they were only cleared in the 1990's, that's pretty damn recent.
And secondly, if you want something even more recent there's always this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/6286325.stm)
But, hey, who's counting right? The police couldn't possibly be wrong.

Not recent enough to change how reliable the police are today.

Whatever, all i'm saying is that being immediately pessimistic is just as bad as being overly optimistic.

No-they are ALWAYS wrong and should just give up policing,Right? :p
They just arrested some fun loving students or other useful members of society. :p
If you ARE counting, the police are nailing plenty of bad guys. If you arent really counting,consider keeping your drivel to yourself.

No worse or better than any where else...

Possibly not, but certainly more highly publicised.

History tends to repeat itself. However with each new generation things tend to change.

Can you pick up my stocks with that crystal ball of yours?
