Officials tell ABC News 24 people now have been taken into custody.  Twenty-two are believed to be of Pakistani descent.  One is Bangladeshi, and another is of Iranian descent, according to the officials.

One of the arrests was made in the northeastern London suburb of Walthamstow. Residents said police took away a man in his late 20s at 2 a.m. today. The neighbors said the man was British-born, with one parent who is Iranian and had recently become very religious.

Before sending all Pakistanis home or taking away their investments in the national economy, just remember that it was a tip from the Moslem community that led to the discovery of this plot, and it was information supplied by Pakistani government's intelligence agencies that assisted in the arrests of the would-be terrorists.
