The men, of North African origin, were arrested in the early hours of Friday morning at the the Veolia depot on Chiltern Street in central London by police investigating a suspected plot to harm the Pope. They had been working as street cleaners for the visit.

“Six men who were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 on Friday, September 17, were all released without charge late on Saturday night and early this morning,” a police spokesman said.
