LONDON (Reuters) - Anti-terror police have arrested 14 people in central and southern England and say they have charged a man under the country's sweeping Terrorism Act.

Four of those arrested were held in London, six in Cambridge and four near Birmingham. Police said the operations on Tuesday were not connected.

They named the man charged as Noureddinne Mouleff, a 36-year-old of North African origin who was arrested in the southern coastal town of Eastbourne last week.

He will appear before magistrates in London on Wednesday charged under section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000, police said in a statement.

Section 57 deals with suspects found with "an article in circumstances which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that its possession is for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism".

A police source said the "article" found was not explosives but would give no further details.
