A man arrested in terrorism raids in Birmingham on Tuesday morning is Moazzam Begg, the former Guantánamo detainee, the Guardian has learned.

West Midlands police said those arrested were connected to alleged Syria-related terrorism offences.

Begg, 45, was arrested in Hall Green, Birmingham, and is suspected of attending a terrorist training camp and facilitating terrorism overseas.

He was previously incarcerated by the United States in Guantánamo Bay before being released without charge. In recent years he has been a campaigner with the group Cageprisoners, which campaigns for those it says are unfairly targeted by the west's "war on terror".

Police said three men and a woman had been arrested on suspicion of terror offences connected to the conflict in Syria.

He's making all of those other innocent men look bad.
