Teen Held In Terror Raid
Police investigating alleged death threats against the Prime Minister have arrested a man in Blackburn.
It is believed the threats to kill Gordon Brown were posted on an Islamic website.
A 19-year-old man is being held under the Terrorism Act, after a joint swoop by Lancashire Police and the Greater Manchester Police Counter Terrorism Unit.
The teenager's home is now being searched by officers.
Earlier this year, similar warnings - posted by a group calling itself al-Qaeda in Britain - resulted in five men being held in Blackburn, Derby and Accrington.
The men were later charged with terrorism offences over the alleged threats.
