(Jewish News) Home Office minister Dan Jarvis has given a “categorical assurance” that the government will work “tirelessly” with the Community Security Trust and other communal organisations to ensure the safety of Britain’s Jews.
Jarvis made the pledge after giving an update in the Commons on the arrests of eight men, including seven Iranian nationals, last weekend in what he said was “some of the largest counter-state threats and counter-terrorism actions that we have seen in recent times.”
Jewish News now understands that reports that counter-terrorism cops swooped only hours before five of the men were hours away from carrying out an attack on a synagogue are speculation.
