UK: Chemical Bomb Attack Foiled

Three nonwhites—two legal immigrants, and a “refugee” from Iraq—have been arrested by British police for preparing a chemical bomb attack and a Paris-style massacre.

The two legal immigrants, aged 19 and 20, are brothers, while the Iraqi “refugee” has been named as 19-year-old Ali Esayed.

According to a report in the London Metro newspaper, the two brothers were arrested on charges of “preparation of terror attacks,” while Esayed was arrested for a “religiously aggravated offence.”

Esayed, originally from Mosul, Iraq, was residing with his family in Kennington, southeast London. He had “arrived” in the UK in 2007 as a “refugee” with his parents and sisters.

Counterterrorism police arrested the two brothers in a dawn raid at their West London home after what was described as a “massive undercover security operation.”

They are accused of making plans to obtain automatic weapons and bomb-making chemicals to stage an attack, presumably in London.
