BIRMINGHAM, England (CNN) -- British police have arrested nine alleged terrorists who they say were planning an "Iraq-style" abduction inside Britain, a senior security source told CNN.
The plot, which allegedly was to include the torture and beheading of a British Muslim soldier, was foiled in early morning raids on Wednesday conducted by West Midlands police throughout central England in what the Home Office called a "major counterterrorism operation."
British security sources did not identify the soldier, but said he was back in Britain after having served in Afghanistan.

It can happen anywhere. If you haven't looked at the "Be Prepared" thread, do so. Get your spouse a concealed carry permit, and some training.
