LONDON: Britain’s Muslim communities must begin an ‘active engagement in counter-terrorism’ following last week’s London suicide bombings, the country’s most senior police officer said on Friday.
“One of the big messages that I am going to be giving is that we must seize this moment,” Sir Ian Blair, head of London’s Metropolitan Police, said during a speech at a mosque in east London.
“This weekend, next week, we have to seize a moment in which the Muslim communities of Britain, helped by everybody of good will, changes from a current position of shock and disbelief into active engagement in counter-terrorism. That’s the challenge,” he said.—AFP
