London, Sept 4 (ZEENEWS.COM) Detectives searched an Islamic school among other sites across London Sunday following raids to round up suspects accused of running terrorist training camps in Britain, police said.

A three-mile exclusion zone was set up around the Jameah Islameah School as officers examined the former convent near Crowborough, 40 miles south of London. Forensic specialists were sweeping buildings and woodlands and planned to search a lake on the grounds, police said.

Charles Hendry, a lawmaker representing the area where the school is located, said the jailed radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri had visited the school with a group of followers. Al-Masri is serving a seven-year prison sentence for inciting his followers to kill non-Muslims.

According to a December 2005 government inspection report, the school set on several acres of grounds had only nine pupils.

Police arrested 14 people late Friday and early Saturday in raids at a halal Chinese restaurant and locations across London in an operation targeting a ring suspected of training and recruiting people for terror attacks.

Two other people were arrested Friday in an unrelated terrorist operation in the northern city of Manchester, police said.

Police said the arrests were not linked to an alleged plot which emerged last month to bomb as many as 10 trans-Atlantic jets or to the July 2005 suicide bombings on London`s transit network, which killed 52 commuters and the bombers.

Government officials said the London arrests were connected to the alleged recruitment and radicalization of young British Muslims, but did not say what triggered the arrests.

The 14 men � between the ages of 17 and 48 � were being questioned on suspicion of committing, preparing or instigating terrorist acts, police said.
