British authorities have uncovered an "encyclopaedia" of terrorist articles during raids on London homes, the British Press Association reported. Also, three men were arrested during the raids; a fourth was taken into custody after he returned to Britain from Pakistan.
"The computer, hard drives and the computer discs contained thousands of documents, videos and audio files that held detailed practical information on how to make and use weapons, explosives and poisons, how to carry out acts of murder on potential terrorist targets here in the United Kingdom as well as abroad," prosecutor Simon Denison told a London court. Referring to one of those arrested he added, "This information amounted to a terrorist encyclopaedia or library…to further the cause that appeared to be his mission in life--the war on western values and anyone who was a non-believer in the Muslim faith."
