BBC story here

"Seven men have been detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 after being found hidden in a vehicle at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
The men, six of whom are thought to be Iraqis, were concealed in a civilian lorry, which is believed to have entered the UK on Wednesday.

A seventh man, thought to be German, has also been arrested.

The stowaways were discovered when the lorry in which they were travelling was stopped during a routine search at the entrance to the base.

In a statement, Suffolk Police said: "All seven men were arrested in connection with offences relating to illegal immigration.

"Because of the circumstances surrounding their discovery, all seven men were additionally detained under the Terrorism Act 2000." "

Hmmm....

The US Congress hastily passed a bill effectively allowing the indefinite detention of "terrorist suspects." The wording went something like, "extends the amount of time (before charging or release) from 24 to 72hrs or as long as necessary."

MJ-12 or Jack Fear might know more about where to find the bill. As far as I know, the US is detaining approximately 80 (more?) people without charge in "suspected" connection with 9-11.

Some people got arrested on terror charges in Leicester too, apparently.

I guess it's inevitable that government's are going to round everyone on their 'might be a terrorist' lists, just in case.
