Bomb attack on UK migrant centre

-

British police said yesterday that evidence revealed ‘‘an extreme right wing motivation’’ behind an attack last week at an immigratio­n centre on the English coast, describing it as ‘‘a terrorist incident.’’ A 66-year-old man threw at least two petrol bombs at the walls of a migrant centre 30 near Dover, a point of arrival for many who attempt the journey across the English Channel in small boats. The assailant was later found dead. Authoritie­s identified him as Andrew Leak. British counterter­rorism police said they found evidence indicating the man was ‘‘motivated by a terrorist ideology’’.
