Guardian: Only 340 of 1,471 people arrested between 2001 and 2008 were charged with terrorism-related offences, Home Office says.

The figures show that 1,471 people were arrested for terrorism between 11 September 2001 and 31 March last year, but only 340 were charged with terrorism-related offences. So far, the courts have convicted only 196 of those charged with such offences.
