Police battling the threat of terrorism have unveiled a new tactic – they are targeting internet cafes.
As
evidence suggests that several people convicted with terrorism acts
have visited internet cafes while plotting their crimes, the
Metropolitan Police are trialling a new initiative in which they aim to
get internet cafe owners to be vigilant on their behalf.
[bbc.co.uk] The visit by two policeman and a community support officer is unannounced – but this is not a raid.
Instead
they are here at an internet cafe in Camden in London as part of a new
programme in the government’s £140m Prevent strategy to help
counterterrorism. (more on bbc.co.uk)
