Ex-guard for Hamas leader got UK citizenship before alleged attack plot
Original: Report: Ex-guard for Hamas chief got UK citizenship before arrest for plotting terror attack on Jews in Europe
A former bodyguard for a Hamas leader obtained British citizenship before he was arrested over an alleged plot to carry out a terror attack on Jewish targets in Europe, according to a report. The case has raised questions about UK security vetting and how the man was able to naturalise despite his close ties to Hamas, which the UK designates as a terrorist organisation. Authorities have not named the suspect publicly.
Why now: The report sparks concern about UK counterterrorism screening after a man with Hamas links gained citizenship and allegedly plotted an attack on Jews in Europe.
