Six Arrested in London for Alleged Plot to Disrupt Stock Exchange Opening
• Six people were arrested in London on Sunday over an alleged plot by the activist group Palestine Action to disrupt the opening of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on Monday.
• The arrests were made after the Daily Express newspaper passed information to police on Friday about the suspected plot.
• Palestine Action aims to disrupt operations of companies supplying weapons to Israel. The group accused the LSE of raising billions for Israel.
• Police arrested the six on suspicion of conspiracy to cause criminal damage. Five have been released, one charged.
• Police said the Express's information was key to intervening before major disruption could occur, as the LSE trades electronically without a physical floor.
