Anarchists who shot Italian nuke firm chief threaten 'low intensity' war on London Olympics 2012 | 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. Pyke 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.
