Iranian accused of plot on Israeli embassy entered UK illegally, was living in taxpayer-funded house: report

(Breitbart) An Iranian man who was arrested in connection to the alleged terror plot on the Israeli embassy in London entered the UK illegally and was living in accommodation provided by the taxpayer, a report has claimed.

Earlier this month, police revealed that five Iranian nationals were arrested under suspicion of planning a terror attack, which later reports indicated was allegedly intended against the embassy for Israel in London.

According to a report from the Mail on Sunday, one of those arrested, a 40-year-old man from Iran, has been living in a taxpayer-funded home in Rochdale managed by Serco for the government for over half a year.

The paper said that it is understood that he arrived in the UK illegally after crossing the English Channel from the beaches of Calais in France before claiming asylum in Britain.
