Anti-terror police are questioning a man who claimed to have recruited British Muslims for al-Qaeda.
Hassan Butt was arrested at Manchester Airport yesterday, where he was reportedly waiting for a flight to Lahore, Pakistan.
Manchester-born Butt has spoken widely in the media about his past involvement with terrorist activity, which he says he has now renounced.
He has previously claimed he recruited hundreds of fellow Muslims to fight for Osama bin Laden's terror network.
In an interview last month, he said: "I started realising it's not as black and white - how could I justify killing these people because these people are living amongst us."
A police spokesman said: "Greater Manchester Police's Counter Terrorism Unit arrested one person under the Terrorism Act on the afternoon of Friday May 9."
He added: "Officers are currently searching three addresses with warrants under the Terrorism Act.
"No armed officers were involved in the arrest."
YES IT A REAL STORY !
