Held Under The Terrorist Act
Okay, we don't know the full story yet (and probably never will), but regarding the "alleged plot to kidnap and kill a Muslim soldier", it begs the question why are they being held under the terrorist act?
'Security sources said a terror plot which was not aimed at mass casualties, would mark "a different approach" to UK terrorism.' Er, like not being terrorist, just plain criminals? Where does the line get drawn, and what happens when the line is blurred? Especially since piracy funds terrorism. So if I'm suspected of copying a DVD, can I be held for 28 days?
