EU urges anti-terror cooperation after UK bombs

PORTO, Portugal, July 2 (Reuters) The European Union should step up joint action against terrorist threats following bomb plots in Britain, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said today.

''The recent attacks, fortunately foiled, in London and Glasgow have demonstrated the need for us to work together and complete our agenda in the fight against terrorism,'' Barroso told a news conference.

British police said today they arrested more suspects in a hunt for members of a suspected al Qaeda cell after a jeep packed with fuel was rammed into an entrance at Glasgow airport on Saturday and two car bombs were left in London last week.
