London police have detained two British Muslim converts on suspicion of terror offenses Thursday, a U.K. security official told The Associated Press.
The official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said it wasn’t clear whether the arrests were related to the upcoming Olympic Games. Security is tight ahead of the London games, which begin on July 27.
“This doesn’t appear to be a big investigation, but it’s still early days,” he said, downplaying the importance of the arrests.
