En svensk man greps i går på Londonflygplatsen Stansted. Enligt brittisk polis ska mannen haft med sig material med information som skulle kunna användas vid ett terrorbrott.

Londonpolisen uppger att svensken, som greps efter att ha klivit av ett flygplan från Sverige, misstänks för innehav av material som innehåller information som skulle kunna användas i terrorsammanhang.

The passenger, who is 34, arrived on a flight from Stockholm which landed at 08:00 GMT on Tuesday.

Counter-terrorism detectives are questioning four men held as part of an operation to foil a suspected Christmas attack.

A series of raids in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire on Tuesday saw armed police and an Army unit swoop on a flat above a fish and chip shop amid fears there may have been explosives at the property.

Three men, aged 22, 36 and 41, were detained at different addresses in Sheffield and a 31-year-old man was arrested in Chesterfield, police said.

An Army bomb squad was deployed in the north Derbyshire town, where armed officers and investigators focused on a property above a takeaway on Sheffield Road.

Residents were woken up by armed police at around 5.30am as officers blew the front doors off a number of properties in a set of coordinated raids.

There are fears the men may have been planning an attack on the capital over Christmas.
