Teacher up for terrorism UK terror threat still high London bombers were 'angry' Brits warned of London attacks

London - British police shot one man and arrested another during a dawn anti-terrorism raid on a house in east London on Friday, a police statement said.

Scotland Yard said the man had been shot after officers carried out a raid as part of a pre-planned operation at a residential property.

"During the operation, a man was shot by police and has been taken to a nearby hospital," the statement said.

Another 23-year-old man was arrested. Officers in protective clothing had been sent to the house in the Forest Gate area of the capital with nearby roads sealed off.

No link to July attacks

Police said the operation was not linked to last July's suicide bomb attacks on London's transport system which killed 52 commuters.

"At this stage there is nothing to suggest members of the public in the immediate area are at risk," police said.

Police said no details about the shot man could be given and the matter had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
