The Metropolitan Police in London is finally admitting what many of us have suspected and that there is a strong possibility that one or more foreign nations are fomenting Islam-based terrorism here in the UK.
The Met have released a statement saying that although the attack on a Persian broadcaster based in London, the attack on Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green and the attempted arson at Finchley Reform synagogue are being investigated by anti-terror specialist police. They are not saying that these are linked or the result of one particular terror cell but the similarities between the incidents are a factor in counter terror officers becoming involved in these cases.
Senior National Coordinator for counter terrorism Vicki Evans said in a Met police statement:
“These incidents have happened against an operational backdrop of global instability and sustained and increasingly aggressive hostile activity on UK soil.
“Whilst these investigations are ongoing and we’re progressing multiple lines of enquiry, I understand why our communities here in the UK will be concerned to learn of these arson attacks.
“We are now dealing with an unprecedented level of national security investigations with suspected links to foreign states, many of those with dangerous and often reckless intentions.
“I want to reassure our communities that Counter Terrorism Policing will be relentless in tracing those responsible for these acts of violence on our streets.”
