London police arrested six people under suspicion of a terror plot against Pope Benedict XVI early Friday morning.
According to the New York Daily News, the men are suspected Islamist terrorists who were planning to assassinate the pope, though police have not uncovered any hazardous items at the arrest site.
Police arrested the men under Britain's Terrorism Act after receiving information about a potential threat, reported the Seattle Times.
None of the suspects had been formally charged by late Friday.
