Controlled explosion after police disrupt Christmas 'terror plot'
2017-12-23
Follow up from this report from the 19th.
[SKYNews] Officers investigating a suspected Christmas terror plot in Derby have carried out a controlled explosion.

An army bomb disposal unit attended and disposed of material found at the property at a nearby safe location. A cordon remains in place.

Four men from Sheffield and Chesterfield were arrested after police raided the property, and they were granted more time to question them on Wednesday.

Detectives have until 4pm on Christmas Day to either charge, release or apply for a further extension to custody.

The arrests on Tuesday come after a mosque and community centre in Burngreave, Sheffield, was sealed off, with residents reportedly being woken up at 6am by loud bangs and armed officers wearing camouflage.

Detectives feared a gang had already assembled an explosive device.

Residents should expect a higher level of police presence around Christmas.
They’re being awfully cagey about this. Usually the Daily Mail, et all are all over this kind of thing.

It's Muslim... or possibly Coptic.
Since all our assailants
Are under surveillance,
We'll manage to plan the panoptics."

Doesn't fit the narrative?
