Iranians arrested in counter-terrorism raids allegedly targeted Israeli embassy

Home secretary says raids across UK last weekend reflected some of biggest terrorism threats in recent years

Israel's embassy in London was the target of an alleged terror plot involving a group of Iranian nationals who were detained by police after a series of dramatic raids across England on Saturday, sources have told the Guardian.

Four men remain in custody and are being questioned by police on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act targeting what police and politicians have so far only been willing to describe publicly as specific premises".
