Met Counter terror police make arrests in M/cr

[Earthdweller]

A major Police operation is underway in Manchester, Salford and Liverpool after Metropolitan Police Counter terrorist officers made two arrests in the city's northern quarter, a major hospitality venue area on Sunday afternoon

Properties are being searched in Salford and Liverpool

There are unverified reports of more arrests

The attack on the synagogue in Manchester took place on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur

These arrests by the Met took place on the eve of Yom Kippur

Coincidence ?

At the moment the Police are saying very little and it hasn't been widely reported

Was it too much trouble to spell the word ‘Manchester’?

Police have advised residents to calm down.

Met Police counter terrorism command have released a statement saying that they have disrupted a terrorist plot to attack the Jewish community in Manchester over the Yom Kippur holy period

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans said police were aware the news would cause "further concern" to the Jewish community "especially given the significant High Holy day period".


"This has been a long-running proactive investigation which has led to the disruption of what we believe to be a plot to target the Jewish community in the Manchester area," said Evans.

Two men remain in custody

To be fair it appears the Jewish residents might have some cause not to be calm. Good job again by the CTP.

Bloody good work by the Police from the sound of it.

Probably usual suspects from religion of peace.

Where is the front pages on dozens of newspapers headlines screaming about a foiled terror plot, seems very quiet compared to the last foiled terror plot by the "far right" to me as I'd expect this to be international headline news.

You mean the "far right" terror plot that never was ?

The one where the PM and Home Sec and plenty of others took to social media to express their outage and solidarity with the Muslim community

That far right plot where all the suspects were released without charge and the CTU said they found no evidence of any offence

Yes, it's puzzling alright or maybe it isn't

And both arrived here on a small boat.

That thing that Reform have been warning about and that the usual suspects says never happens, just happened.

They're not the first terrorists we have given asylum to and I doubt they will be the last.

Interesting that they came over in 2020 and 2023. With all the waving through Labour have indulged in for the last 2 years it would suggest that one of them had their claim refused but was still here.
As for the personal attack by Hodge it is par for the course to try to shut down the conversation and to stop people pointing out what the dangers are when you let so many people in with scant regard for human life along with some who are actively engaged in meaning to harm us. Suicidal empathy at its best.

Again there is a fair chance that's true. I know it isn't guaranteed to stop those determined to cause trouble once here but there has to be a review of how current processing is done. I'm all for fast tracking of families to get genuine refugees and asylum seekers settled and working but as many individual blokes appear to be economic migrants at best i think the current situation warrants adding a bit more scrutiny on them.

As per, the lack of comment from certain posters that are very quick to post on certain topics/issues is telling.

Makes you wonder how many sleeper agents are here and whether they plan many scall scale attacks or larger ones.

First thing that crossed my mind too.

My, we are all getting so lazy these days.

Any idea who the perperatratoes were then or which ideology they follow ?
