Terrorism arrests fail to halt Papal tour

POPE BENEDICT last night insisted his tour of Britain would continue as planned despite the discovery of a suspected terror plot to attack him.

Scotland Yard’s Counter-Terrorism Command arrested six men after receiving an tip-off they posed a direct threat to the Pope.

Five of the men were arrested in dawn raids and worked for a street cleaning company contracted to Westminster City Council — the area of central London where the Pope is holding key events. A sixth man was arrested later.
