(GB News) Counter-terrorism police are assessing Egyptian extremist Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s tweets, after he described the killing of Zionists as heroic and appeared to call for violence against the police.
Mr El-Fattah returned to the UK on Boxing Day after receiving a pardon from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
An official Counter Terrorism Policing spokesman said: “We have received a number of public referrals in recent days relating to various historical social media posts.
“As with all such referrals, the posts are now in the process of being assessed by specialist officers within the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU).”
