Six people have been arrested by counter-terrorism police as part of an investigation into the banned PKK terrorist group, APA reports citing The Guardian.
Four men, aged 23, 27, 56 and 62, and two women, aged 31 and 59, were arrested at separate addresses during dawn raids in London on Wednesday and remain in custody, the Metropolitan police said.
Searches are taking place at eight addresses, including the Kurdish Community Centre in Haringey, north London, where police said their investigation could take up to two weeks.
Acting commander Helen Flanagan, from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “This activity has come about following a significant investigation and operation into activity we believe is linked to the terrorist group PKK. These are targeted arrests of those we suspect of being involved in terrorist activity linked to the group."
