Five men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism outside a nuclear power facility in Britain, reports CNN. All five live in London and their homes were being searched, while roads near the Sellafield nuclear facility were temporarily closed. The arrests drew interest given the killing of Osama bin Laden, but police see no connection at this point. The men, in their 20s, were suspected of filming the facility, notes the Guardian.
