A policeman has been killed in an anti-terrorist raid in Manchester. A number of other people have been injured.

A police officer has died and four others have been injured during a counter terrorism operation in Manchester. The dead officer is believed to have been stabbed in the chest.

Another officer is reported to have been knifed in the arm and is being treated at North Manchester General Hospital where his condition has been described as "critical".

The injuries happened as Greater Manchester Police officers and immigration officials raided premises in Crumpsall, north Manchester on Tuesday at 1750 GMT to detain a man, believed to be of north African origin, under counter terrorism legislation.

Struggle

Two other men in their 20s were arrested in connection with an on-going operation with the Metropolitan Police's anti-terrorism branch.

Witnesses at the scene said a struggle broke out during the arrests and described the three men being taken from flat.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed the five officers involved were two detective constables, one detective inspector, one uniformed sergeant and one uniformed police constable.

Quiet area

The junction of Crumpsall Lane and Middleton Road has been closed to traffic.

Shortly after 2000 GMT, officers wearing chemical suits entered the property.

Police said the three-storey Victorian semi, where the arrests took place, is split into several separate apartments.

Residents said the suburban street is normally a quiet area.

One resident said: "It's shocking something like this has happened."

I read it, Lanesra, but I really didn't know what to say that wouldn't sound trite or stupid.

I was in the same situation as Mel on this. It is a sad thing when this kind of stuff happens.
