26 September 2014 12:46 BST
British police on Friday said they had arrested two more suspects in an investigation into "Islamist-related terrorism", a day after nine were detained.
The two men "were arrested in the early hours of this morning in a vehicle on the M6 motorway," which runs between central and northern England, police said in a statement.
One of them, aged 33, was arrested for "encouraging terrorism" and "being a member of a proscribed organisation", while the other, 42, was held for "assisting an offender".
"These arrests and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism and are not in response to any immediate public safety risk," police said.
