Man arrested over Iraq suicide bombings
A man has been arrested in Manchester for questioning in connection with a series of suicide bomb attacks on coalition forces in Iraq.
Thirty police officers raided an address in Great Southern Street, Moss Side, around 5am this morning. A 40-year-old man was arrested and is being held under the Terrorism Act.
Greater Manchester Police stressed that the arrest was related to “an incident overseas” and that there had been “no threat” to the area.
Police said that the arrest related to a series of suicide bombings against coalition forces in Iraq, as it appeared that one of the bombers might have travelled from the UK to carry out the attack.
He is believed to have lived in the Great Southern Street area of the city before he left for Iraq. The man who was arrested this morning lived at an address which police belive may have been linked to the incidents in Iraq.
The area around Great Southern Street has been cordoned off.
