Guardian: Police fear far-right terror attack

Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command fears the extreme right will stage a deadly terrorist attack in Britain to try to stoke racial tensions, the Guardian has learned.

Senior officers fear the attack will be a "spectacular" that is designed to kill people. The counter-terrorism unit has moved officers to beef up its monitoring of the extreme right's potential to stage attacks.

Commander Shaun Sawyer told a meeting of British Muslims concerned about the danger posed to their communities that police were responding to the growing threat.

Sawyer said of the far right: "I fear that they will have a spectacular ... They will carry out an attack that will lead to a loss of life or injury to a community somewhere. They're not choosy about which community."

Full marks to Scotland Yard for using the T word.

Scotland Yard channeling Glenn Beck. they've been predicting (salivating about) a new excuse to clamp down on brown people ever since 7/7.

They've lost so much credibility given the shootings, the pointless stop and searches, the detentions, the failed grandstanding arrests to the extent that nothing less than a major terrorist incident will restore their credibility. So they wait and hope.

keep to the Fen Causeway
