LONDON (AP) — London's police force charged a man Wednesday with
a terror offense after he was detained trying to enter the
grounds of the Israeli Embassy while in possession of what
appears to have been a knife of some sort.
Abdullah Sabah Albadri, 33, has been charged with preparing
“terrorist acts” and of two counts of possession of a pointed or
bladed article, London's Metropolitan Police force said in a
statement.
The incident took place on Monday shortly before 6 p.m. when
officers from the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection
Command became aware of a man attempting to gain unauthorized
access to the embassy's grounds in Kensington in west London,
police said.
Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Counter Terrorism Command,
said that inquiries so far indicated that no one else was
involved and that there was no wider threat to the public.
“Although the man has now been charged, we continue with our
investigation and would urge the public not to speculate further
at this time," he added.
Albadri is due to appear in court later Wednesday.
