LONDON (AP) -- Anti-terrorism police arrested three men Tuesday after finding two homemade bombs at an apartment outside London, police said.
The men, described as Europeans, were detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 in Crawley, less than 5 miles from London's Gatwick Airport.
"During a routine inquiry two fireball improvised explosive devices were found. They are effectively homemade bombs," said Inspector Geoff Sharnock.
Police said the men, who have not been charged, had not been linked to any specific organization. Officers said they were unaware of any motive or target.
