Detectives question man held under Terrorism Act
Detectives were questioning a man over alleged terrorist offences last night after arresting him in a country village. The suspect, who has not been named, was detained in Hawkinge, near Folkestone, Kent, at around 8.45am under the Terrorism Act 2000. Neighbours said the man, understood to be in his 30s, lived at the property with his family and owned a local fast-food takeaway restaurant. There is no suggestion that the arrest is linked to last week's Channel Tunnel fire, and Scotland Yard said the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command was not involved in the inquiry.
