    UK counter terrorism expert warns about far-right violent extremism

    Met Police's Rowley warned that far-right extremists are working in similar ways to Islamist extremists, creating intolerance and generating distrust of state institutions.

    The retiring head of counter-terrorism policing in the UK has warned of the growing threat of far-right terrorism. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, who will retire from the Met Police next month, said four extreme-right terror plots were disrupted last year. Ten Islamist-inspired plots have been foiled since March last year, he added.
