LONDON (Reuters) - Anti-terrorism officers arrested six Muslim
men in London in dawn raids on Tuesday, on suspicion of inciting
terrorism overseas and raising funds for terrorists.

The six, including Abu Izzadeen who millions saw on television
heckling British Home Secretary John Reid at a public meeting
last year, were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, a
spokeswoman for Scotland Yard said.

The suspects were held "in low key operations" at 5 a.m. at five
addresses in London and one in Luton, north of the capital.

"The arrests form part of a long-term pro-active and complex
investigation into alleged incitement and radicalization for the
purposes of terrorism, as well as alleged provision of financial
support for international terrorism," the spokeswoman said.
