Police in the UK arrest 12 people over a suspected far-right terrorism-related threat against an Islamic event in Suffolk. Counter-terrorism police lead the investigation. Authorities say the threat is linked to an event held at Shrubland Hall in Suffolk over the weekend, and the event ends early on Sunday due to concerns about a possible threat.
Reports say three of the people arrested are detained on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, while others are arrested in connection with the suspected plot. The arrests are carried out mostly across southern and eastern England, with at least one person detained in Greater Manchester, according to one outlet. Other outlets describe the threat in similar terms, including “extreme right-wing terrorism” targeting the event.
Several summaries also refer to police assessing whether there is any wider threat, with coverage indicating no public guidance beyond the incident at the venue. Police do not detail the evidence in the reports provided.
