British police arrested four men under anti-terrorism laws on Wednesday, but said there was no link to the July 7 London bombings. Police arrested the men in a car in the city of Stoke in central England after a telephone call from a member of the public who thought they were acting suspiciously, Reuters reported. "In what we must stress was a spontaneous incident which we reacted to, four men in the vehicle were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000," a police spokeswoman said in a statement. "The men are now in custody at a Staffordshire police station and the vehicle will be examined. "At this stage there is no suggestion that this was linked to the London bombings in any way." No more details of the arrests were given. British police have been on heightened alert since four bombs on the capital's transport network killed 56 people and injured hundreds more. Police were given more time on Tuesday to question a 29-year-old man arrested last week in connection with the attacks. The probe has widened to Pakistan, where police detained about 150 suspected militants for questioning.
