The sixth man was arrested this afternoon in north London.Searches by officers at up to 10 addresses were continuing tonight, but no equipment linked to bomb-making or anything that could obviously be used to stage a terrorist attack was recovered.Some of the men arrested are believed to be of Algerian heritage. They were being held and questioned by detectives who are also trying to establish their identities.Read more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/17/pope-visit-...
Five London street cleaners were arrested at gunpoint ... They were being held and questioned by detectives who are also trying to establish their identities.
OK, that juxtaposition is causing me a bit of cognitive dissonance. Doesn't 'Street cleaner' entail them being public employees, with some kind of address already known to authorities? Or is 'Street cleaner' a vernacular term for 'Drifter' or 'Vagrant' in London?
I think 'street cleaner' means they're on the dole....
Considering that the Islamofascists DUmbshits probably would have joined the Hitler Youth, it would create a conflict for them, wouldn't it?
