Police invasion of Forest Gate:
‘anti-terror raid’ or psychological warfare?
The 2nd June police invasion of Forest Gate has set a new precedent for a so-called ‘anti-terror
raid’. A neighbourhood was invaded by more than 200 police, many of them wearing chemical protection suits, and accompanied by MI5 agents. They blocked off streets around a ‘suspect’ house and even imposed an exclusion zone for any flights overhead. With a gun ready for firing, police entered a house and quickly shot a man, Mohammed Abdul Kahar.
According to police, their raid was based on ‘specific intelligence’ about equipment for a
suicide bombing. Afterwards Prime Minister Tony Blair said, ‘I support the police 101% – and the security services’. The shooting intensified arguments about whether the ‘specific intelligence’ was wrong and so whether the police should apologise. Eventually they did apologise for causing ‘disruption and inconvenience to many residents’ − though not for the raid or shooting, which they justified as necessary for ‘public safety’ (Met Police statement, 8th June).
