TWO Muslim converts suspected of planning an attack on the Olympic Games canoeing venue were arrested in London on Thursday.
Sources told The (London) Daily Telegraph the pair, aged 18 and 32, were seen acting suspiciously close to the venue in Waltham Abbey earlier this week.
Metropolitan Police Counter-Terrorism Command officers arrested the men on terror charges at two residential addresses in east London early Thursday.
A friend of one of the men, Mizanur Rahman, 29, said the arrests "might have had something to do with the fact that they recently went canoeing" on the River Lee, a branch of which runs through the Olympic site in east London.
Police had reportedly combed the banks of the river earlier in the week.
The opening ceremony of the Games takes place on July 27, with the canoeing events being held at both the Lee Valley White Water Centre and Eton Dorney.
