Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
British police have arrested eight men in two separate counter-terrorism operations spanning several cities in the UK.
As Philip Marks reports, seven of the men are Iranian citizens.
Authorities said five of the men were arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism linked to a plot against a specific location that they did not name.
Police say four Iranians aged 29 to 46 and a fifth man whose nationality has not yet been confirmed were arrested on Saturday in London,
Manchester and three other cities.
The second unconnected investigation was led by a counter-terrorism team inside London's Metropolitan Police,
which also retains responsibility for national security and spying investigations.
The three arrested, all Iranian citizens,
were taken into custody in London as part of a separate investigation and were detained under Britain's national security legislation.
