One of the five men arrested in connection with an alleged plot to attack Israel’s embassy in London is an asylum seeker who had been living in a taxpayer-funded property in Rochdale.
The 40-year-old Iranian man was filmed being dragged “semi-naked” by Special Forces from the terraced house on May 3, as part of a major counter-terrorism operation. He was among five individuals arrested under terrorism laws that day, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to eight.
