Eight Arrested In Two Counter-Terrorism Operations Involving Iranian Nationals
Eight men have been arrested in two separate counter-terrorism police investigations that both involved Iranian nationals.
The Home Secretary said they reflect the biggest counter state threat and counter terrorism operations in recent years.
Five men, including four Iranian nationals, were arrested at locations across England on Saturday on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act after a suspected plot “to target a single premises” was uncovered, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force confirmed a further three Iranian men were arrested on Saturday as part of a separate operation.
Dominic Murphy, the head of counter terrorism at the Met Police, said one was a terrorist plot for an attack against a specific premises, while the other was a national security arrest.
Mike Graham discusses the story with former parachute regiment officer and research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, Major (Ret.) Andrew Fox.
