Terrorism

The issue of bombers in jackets is a long held fear of UK citizens, arising out the time of Irish terror and continuing as a relevant point of interest during conflict periods in more recent history. The conceptual outgrowth – of backpacks, suitcases, and even coffee cups – is a natural development in the way of terror investigations.

The busyness of UK society inspired one woman to build on this fear as part of a nefarious attempt to destabilise our Intelligence understanding here. Her biography is difficult to pin down, but secret information suggests she’s an Australian born Journalist who is a naturalised European activist in many different realms.

“She’s clever,” an Oxfam staff member told me on approach, saying he didn’t want to reveal his name but divulging she worked for its key staff at different times. It’s a pattern of behaviour I came to pick up on as I researched her movements, particularly in London, as it happens. The long stretch to Manchester occurs in her mind – her thinking being the primary point in this debacle.

The sad ramifications of her activity are now clear to see, having been plainly written on the mourning faces of Manchester locals that regretted the attack in its aftermath in their own backyard. It’s also in the lives lost, gaps in family records now because of fatalities. The bomber, Salman Abedi, is rightly hated in hindsight, a bastard criminal in UK crime.

He should never have been allowed near that building, to enter the Manchester Arena, but control orders failed that evening, and the rest is history. The Police staff that overlooked his need for arrest are a caution for the rest – never ignore the simple request. These incidents happen because of a poor routine or failures in planning. It’s the level of his threat that should have ended his aim, not his name.
