Britain detained 10 people on Thursday who it said were a threat to national
security and added that it planned to deport them, Reuters said.
In a statement, Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the presence of the 10
unnamed foreign nationals was "not conducive to the public good".
The men were held by immigration officers backed by the police.
After two bombing attacks on London, the government has spelled out plans to
deport radical Islamists who it believes are inciting or glorifying militant
attacks and has signed bilateral agreements with a number of countries to return
such individuals.
"Following months of diplomatic work we now have good reason to believe that
we can get necessary assurances from the countries to which we will return the
deportees so that they will not be subject to torture or ill-treatment," Clarke
said.
