Terrorism Suspects Formally Charged
Although three of the nine men arrested over the alleged plot to kidnap a Muslim member of our armed forces were released without charge, today police have formally charged five of the others. One still remains in custody.
I was half-expecting all of them to be released without charge, as in the case of those men arrested in London the other month. But it would have been very costly for the police to make such a mistake again, and would have caused even more damage to the relations between them and the muslim community. Therefore they must have been very confident about the intelligence they had gathered before making their move, right?
