Freed Guantanamo Bay prisoners arrested by British police

LONDON, Jan 25 (AFP) - The last four Britons held at the US jail for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay were arrested by British police on Tuesday shortly after their arrival home, a police statement said.
The men were arrested while still on the Royal Air Force transport plane which flew them back to Britain, after it landed at the RAF Northolt air base in west London, the city's Metropolitan police said.
They were held under a section of the Terrorism Act 2000 "which refers to the alleged involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism", the statement said.
