Britain foiled four far-right terrorist plots last year as the threat from extremist right-wing groups became more active in the country, the UK’s counter-terrorism chief has revealed.
Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley used his pre-retirement speech last evening to warn against the growing threat from such terror groups.
“The rightwing threat was not previously organised. Every now and then there’s been an individual motivated by that rhetoric who has committed a terrorist act but we’ve not had an organised rightwing threat like we do now,” he said.
