UK police arrest four, including soldiers, over suspected far-right terrorism

 

LONDON (Reuters) - British police arrested four men on Tuesday, including some serving soldiers, on suspicion of belonging to a banned far-right group and planning terrorist acts.

 

The men, aged 22 to 32, were detained on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism and of being members of the National Action group.

 

The neo-Nazi organisation became the first far-right group to be outlawed inBritain last year after the murder of member of parliament Jo Cox, whose killing the group had praised.

 

The four arrests were made by counter-terrorism officers in the cities of Birmingham, Ipswich and Northampton and in Powys, Wales.

 

"The arrests were pre-planned and intelligence-led; there was no threat to the public's safety," West Midlands Police said.

 

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said a number of serving members of the army had been arrested.

 

"These arrests are the consequence of a Home Office Police Force-led operation supported by the army," an MoD spokeswoman said. "This is now the subject of a civilian police investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further."

 

Britain is on its second-highest threat level, "severe", meaning an attack is highly likely. Suspected Islamists have killed 35 people this year in London and Manchester, and a man died in June after a van was driven into worshippers near a London mosque.

 

Last month, a senior police chief said the number of referrals to the authorities about suspected right-wing extremists had doubled since the murder of Cox, who was killed in June last year by a loner obsessed with Nazis and white supremacist ideology.

"there was no threat to the public's safety," West Midlands Police said.

 

What are the odds that this "far right terrorism" involves a daring plot to consume a bacon sandwich in the vicinity of a mosque? Other than the mentally feeble Thomas Hamilton, there has been no far right terrorism in the UK, but police have caught a few bacon consumers, one of whom was plonked in the muslim section of a British prison where he was killed.

Are you one of those "outraged" headline readers, who never bother to read the article?

Don't let facts get in the way of your delusional, "muzzie" obsession.

Within minutes of the OP being posted it appears...

This is the other face of the "enemy within".  They have always been there under different flags and always will be.  Scum yes, but thankfully these days people usually see them for the lowlifes they are.

Don't underestimate the seed of hate. Good job they weren't German otherwise the Daily Express would have had a field day, Dunkirk and all the rest.

It says a great deal for the peoples of UK, US, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and others, that there hasn't been a vicious and sustained backlash against Muslims in any of those countries.

 

The loony neo Nazi racist scum can't corrupt the masses. There are a few lunatics but the vast majority of Western people see them for what they are.

 

But just imagine, if Christian radical extremists were carrying out similar acts of terrorism in Muslim countries, would there be a similar reaction?

 Indeed; it shows that the majority of non Muslims in those countries are fully aware that the Islamist terrorists do not represent the vast majority of Muslims.

Indeed, just as the vast majority, of whatever religion or none, see the Islamist terrorists for the scum that they are.

I don't know. But the argument that we should restrict freedom in our country because some countries do not enjoy the same freedoms us is not just ridiculous; it's dangerous.

This is hardly surprising. A population can only sit back for so long after constantly being threatened, abused , raped, murdered and invaded by these muslims. It's wrong to say it, but its true

Well the right wing fascists were in the UK long before there were Muslim terrorist attacks.  It's a bit like saying that all the Irish are IRA terrorists and all Germans are Nazis.  But you are right!  It's wrong to say it and what's more it's not true.
