Police have foiled a suspected bomb plot inspired by Islamic State in the run up to Christmas, it emerged yesterday. More than a hundred officers swooped on a quiet cul-de-sac in Newcastle upon Tyne yesterday to arrest an alleged lone wolf plotter said to be under the spell of the terror group. Fearing that explosives may be present, more than 150 houses were evacuated as well as a school when elite counter-terrorism officers raided an address in the Arthur's Hill area of the city less than a mile from St James's Park football stadium and the Eldon Square shopping centre. Dozens of locals were taken to a community centre while searches were carried out at the suspect's property for any explosives or weapons. A 33-year-old man was arrested at the property on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-plotting-terror-act.html?ito=social-facebook
Bloody hell. When I started reading it I was expecting a punchline at the end. We don't get this sort of nonsense down Manchester.
If this is right then we'll done whoever got onto him, whether it was police intelligence or a nosey neighbour it's stopped something which could have turned really nasty.
No one mentioning the terror attacks in Europe which is a weekly occurrence now, but no freedom of speech, if you say owt your accused of racism, which is just a way to shut you up.Very rare the papers in England let you know, you have to look at the european independent papers.
Not a fan of the newspaper, myself. They're simply reporting the truth about what happened, on this occasion.
