British authorities have released two of three European men arrested earlier this week under anti-terrorism laws, police said. “Two men have been released and a third man remains in custody,” said a spokesman for the police in the southern county of Sussex. He said judicial authorities had authorised police to keep the third man in custody for an additional 72 hours for further questioning.
