Anti-Terror Measures Remain in Place

The UK security threat level is to stay at 'critical' following a suspected plot to blow up airliners, British Home Secretary John Reid has said.

He said he believed the main suspects were in custody but it was right to 'err on the side of caution'. Everyone faced the threat and everyone 'should respond with a common purpose and common solidarity', Mr Reid added.

Nineteen of 24 people arrested have had their UK assets frozen. The names have been published by the Bank of England. Police have increased their presence in areas with Muslim populations in the UK to deter Islamophobic attacks after the latest terror arrests.
