LONDON - Two men were arrested at a university campus under the Terrorism Act, police said on Thursday.
The men, aged 30 and 22, were questioned after being detained at Nottingham University on Wednesday.
Detectives continue to search premises at the university as well as properties in the city.
They were arrested during a low-key operation between Nottinghamshire Police and the Midlands Counter Terrorist Unit.
Superintendent Simon Nickless said there was no cause for alarm within local communities.
"Officers are working with community representatives to offer support and reassurance," he said.
"The response has been calm and rational. Feedback is that people accept that this sort of police operation is necessary and reasonable for the welfare of communities."
