In the latest twist of a significant counter-terrorism operation, the authorities in London have extended the detention period for four Iranian suspects accused of plotting an attack against the Israeli embassy in the city.
On May 3, a coordinated national operation led to the arrest of five men, all on suspicion of terror-related offenses. Four of the arrestees were held under the Terrorism Act based on claims of a plan to target the embassy in Kensington.
The fifth individual was remanded under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and subsequently released on bail. However, officers involved in the case have now been granted an additional week to question the four primary suspects, initially scheduled for release today.
Unraveling this alleged terror cell, police forces detained a 29-year-old man in Swindon, a 46-year-old man in west London, a 29-year-old man in Stockport, and a 40-year-old man in Rochester. The fifth arrest was made in Manchester, of a 24-year-old man.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are conducting search operations at multiple addresses in Greater Manchester, London, and Swindon areas. Captured on camera, footage of the raids show teams of officers in tactical gear escorting the suspects from their properties.
While Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers appear to have been part of the operations, the exact role of Britain's elite SAS unit, if involved, remains undisclosed.
Reports surfaced about the Iranian terrorist cell planning an "imminent" attack with the potential for a catastrophic loss of life. The Israeli embassy, believed to be the primary target, faced danger from the group suspected to have links to Iran.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has authorized security reviews due to the heightened threat level following the plot.
The alleged Iranian involvement in terror activities has been a consistent theme in recent months, with attacks on Israeli embassies across Europe. In October, Sweden's security service Sapo suggested Iran played a role in shooting incidents at embassies in Stockholm and Copenhagen. Previously, gunshots had targeted the Stockholm embassy, which Mossad blamed on an Iran-directed crime group[6].
Despite the Iranian government's vehement denial of any involvement in the terror plot, the Home Secretary highlighted the complex nature of global security challenges facing the UK[5].
