LONDON - Police using ladders and battering rams raided a London mosque — a known center of radical Islam led by a suspected terrorist — and arrested seven men early Monday in connection with the recent discovery of the deadly poison ricin.
Dozens of officers wearing bulletproof vests stormed the red-brick Finsbury Park mosque and two neighboring houses just after 2 a.m., as circling helicopters shined spotlights on the buildings below.
Police seized computers and documents, and found a stun gun, an illegal canister of CS gas, similar to pepper spray, and a blank-firing imitation gun.
A Mosque? *you don't say! (http://story.news.yahoo.com /news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030120/ap_on_re_eu/britain_terror_arres ts_11)
Maybe this will set a precedent and America will follow in it's Mother country's footsteps~~I'm all for separation of church and state, but when the church is a terrorist~~somebody' s got to investigate.</span>
