A young man and a young woman in Great Britain are suspected of planning a terrorist act with far-right motives.
The two – an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman – were recently arrested in the London area. On Thursday, they were formally charged with preparation for terrorist crimes.
The London police announce that its counter-terrorism unit has been working “proactively” to investigate suspected crimes linked to far-right terrorist activities.
“These are extremely serious allegations, but I would like to discourage the public from speculating further about the matter at this time and allow the legal process to take its course unhindered,” said counter-terrorism chief Dominic Murphy.
According to Murphy, there is no indication that there is any further threat to the public. The case is said to be unrelated to recent weeks of riots and xenophobic demonstrations in Britain.
