Questions over London terror raid

[daleo]

Questions are being asked about how the police and intelligence services handled an anti-terror raid in east London after the release of two men.
Brothers Abul Koyair, 20, and Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, who was shot during the raid, were freed without charge.

Muslim Council of Britain chief Mohammed Abdul Bari said: "The question the community raises is the genuineness of the intelligence."

Police have defended the raid and said inquiries are ongoing.

1. It seems that they got a real bad tip.

Which they supposedly vetted through MI5 before acting on. So I'd say this was an information marker run through a suspected mole by the real bad guys and that one informant is now totally useless if not totally dead. But I am just idly speculating.

2. It is also one more reminder that media speculation and official stories

frequently don't pan out.
