0:00On April 23rd, counter-terror police just nabbed two more suspects in a plot to torch a Jewish community site, a 19-year-old man and a daya. 26-year-old man arrested and wafered on Tuesday. That brings the total to nine people picked up over the past three days, all suspected in this conspiracy to commit arson. The other seven, including folks from Harpenden, Stevens and near Birmingham, got released on strict bail conditions while the probe rolls on.
