Detectives from Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands (CTU) arrested the men on suspicion of a terrorism offence.
A statement from West Midlands Police confirmed the arrests but didn’t specify when the individuals had been taken into custody.
The men – aged between 26 and 67 – were arrested from addresses in Worcester, Birmingham, Leicester and Bradford on Tuesday (21 March).
