POLICE believe they have thwarted a major plan to detonate a bomb on British soil after a string of anti-terror arrests.
As details of the dramatic swoop at Liverpool John Moores University emerged today the ECHO has learned the arrests are both “significant and important”.
The swoop saw 12 men – aged from their mid-to-late teens to their early 40s – picked up in a coordinated operation yesterday afternoon.
Five men were arrested in Liverpool - one on the John Moores campus, three in a house in Toxteth and one at a house in Edge Hill.
