Scotland Yard arrested six people in anti-terror raids in and around London on Tuesday. Scotland Yard representatives announced that it was a ‘complex inquiry’ involving so-called incitement offences and fund-raising activities, DPA news agency quoted.

‘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’, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
