London, May 27 (ANI): An anarchist group that destroyed the knee caps of a nuclear power firm CEO recently, is now threatening to launch a low-intensity war against the London Olympics.
The Informal Anarchist Federation, or FAI, has claimed responsibility for sabotaging railway signal cables that disrupted railway services in and out of Bristol last Tuesday.
This group is believed to have also damaged a police communications and radio broadcasting mast at Dundry Hill on April 11, around the outskirts of Bristol, forcing stations off the air.
The Informal Anarchist Federation, known as the FAI after its initials in Italian, was also behind a drive-by gun attack two weeks ago in the port of Genoa.
"An investigation is under way to establish who is responsible for these attacks," the Daily Mail quoted Detective Chief Inspector John Pyke, as saying.yke also urged anyone who had information to contact the police, promising that their identities would be protected.
The FAI statement said it 'specifically chose' its Bristol targets to make it difficult for staff from Ministry of Defence installations nearby to get to work, 'as well as military industry companies' such as Raytheon, Thales and QinetiQ on a local business park.
The British Government has confirmed to deploy surface-to-air missiles on op of residential buildings to protect Olympic sites from an aerial terrorist attack after a dummy run to test the idea.
The decision was made after Defence Secretary Philip Hammond and Home Secretary Theresa May took advice from the Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir David Richards and the UK police.
Although there is no specific threat to the Olympics, it is learnt that the missile batteries will be deployed by early July. (ANI)
