A fifth man has been arrested in Sheffield over an alleged plot for a Christmas terror attack, police have said. The 21-year-old man was held under the Terrorism Act late last Friday night, and two buildings in the city are being searched.
Four men were held in earlier raids carried out in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire on 19 December. Two of the four men first arrested - Andy Star, 31, and Farhad Salah, 22 - have been charged with one count of engaging in the preparation of an act of terrorism.
Both men are Kurdish Iraqis, and Star is the owner of the Mermaid Fish and Chip Bar on Sheffield Road in Chesterfield. They are both due to appear at the Old Bailey in London sometime this month.
A 36-year-old man from Burngreave in Sheffield remains in custody, while a 41-year-old from Meersbrook in Sheffield was released last Saturday.
