British police announced Saturday that last week’s Molotov cocktail attack on a migrant center in Dover was motivated by «far-right terrorist ideology.»
Security forces have identified the man responsible for the attack as 66-year-old Buckinghamshire resident Andrew Leak, who killed himself after throwing two or three incendiary devices at the center.
The Counter Terrorism Policing Unit for the South East (CTPSE) confirmed Saturday the discovery during the investigation of objects confirming the «terrorist» nature of the attack by Leak, who committed suicide after throwing Molotov cocktails.
«Evidence from the examination of these items suggests that there was an extreme right-wing motivation behind the attack,» the police statement reported by ITV has made known.
However, the British police have assured that there is no evidence that Leak was working with anyone else or that this incident is part of a wider threat to the public.
Despite this, the British police were forced to intervene on Saturday to contain a riot of as yet unclear origin in another migrant detention center, this time in Harmondsworth, in west London.
At the moment there are no reports of injuries in the incident but the center has been without electricity since 09.00 am, according to the police.
The British Home Office has been forced to rectify an initial information in which it assured that «a group of detainees came out of their rooms» and entered «armed» in an area of the courtyard.
