UK Terror Attack Linked To Migrant Supporting ‘Palestine’
As support for terrorism spreads across the globe, a disturbing report emerged from the U.K. An asylum seeker was arrested on suspicions of carrying out a terrorist attack to seek revenge for those who have lost their lives in Gaza amid the ongoing war.
Details are still becoming clear, but The Telegraph reported that the suspect was infuriated over the war between Israel and Hamas. The outlet said he was “bent on avenging deaths in Gaza.”
Apparently, in his frame of mind attacking an innocent victim with no connection to the bloodshed accomplished that end. The man, who came to the U.K. in 2020, reportedly told police investigators that he carried out his attack for “Palestine.”
Some lawmakers spread word about the violent incident on Friday, declaring the British public needed to know what was going on in their midst.
Authorities are keeping details close to the vest for what they described as “legal reasons.” It was revealed, however, that the suspect claimed to have carried it out “because Israel had killed children in Gaza.”
There is growing concern that such an incident could inspire other vengeful acts which some categorize as “lone wolf” attacks on British citizens. One security official told The Telegraph the government is downplaying the murder to ward off copycats.
The possibility also exists that avoiding criticism for their own lax immigration policies may inspire British officials to understate the level of terror threat posed by certain groups.
In the U.S., officials in Washington urged citizens around the globe to be on alert.
Another tragic attack was carried out in France by a reported asylum seeker. French police said a Jewish teacher died in Arras after the alleged assailant shouted “Allahu akbar” before stabbing three innocents.
Along with the teacher, two others including a security guard were reportedly gravely wounded at the school. French authorities launched an anti-terror investigation after the suspect allegedly carried out his attack at the high school.
The migrant was taken into custody.
Authorities in Sweden are investigating an incident where an ISIS terrorist is believed to have fatally shot two Swedish citizens. And in China, an Israeli diplomat survived being stabbed by an assailant.
