LONDON -- 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.

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.
