Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

British Police were questioning four persons, including a Pakistani, on October 14 on suspicion of terrorism after a string of arrests that included armed officers shooting out the tyres of a car near the Tower of London, reports Dawn. Reports in British media said the men had been arrested in coordinated raids across London in the night of October 13 that was aimed at preventing an alleged terror plot involving the use of guns. Later, a British security official said the men were planning a shooting spree akin to the Westgate attack in Nairobi, in which at least 67 people died. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media on the record, said it was not clear how advanced the planning was but that any attack was not imminent. Metropolitan Police did not identify the suspects or say what, if any, charges, they may face. Police said they were still searching six premises and two vehicles on Monday.
