fridays london bridge attack we can bring in a young son yeah a counterterrorism consultants at the modern. security consulting group thank you very much for being with us at this hour here on- fronts t twenty four now british police say that they're working around the clock to find out what happens at this friday. but they are clearly treating this as terrororism. ys good evening well everything points to it- the type e of attack d. d. course to take the key factor being they do use- of a fake suicide belt usually this is a tactic that is going to two very well known- terrororist groups. i think-n in t the wake of the attack and you're not going on this occacasion i think more evidenc- came up that says certainly- there. s. frame this as being a terrorist attack. no group or individual has yet to come forward to claim responsibility but what are your own thoughts about who could be behind this.

well that. that's the problem is that- t this type of attatack where as of a few years ago- with. a fair amamount of certainty you could point to one group or another hasas been- cocoopted by by. pretty muchh every type of extremism right now and so it could have been the far right it could have been- of course the- your religious based extremism. so this is no longer. an attack or in the modus operandi did date is only link to one type of group or one type of extremism it's coopted by everyone- but the- of course the use of a fake suicide belt. could point- towards the and religious space- type of group however i did still sorelely in say informatation so console scars that we can't really point ten point with accuracy it's that type of group. now for those viewers who are watching who want to tenchi familiar with this kind of probe just what will investigators be doing in the coming hours. and days to

find out what this man's motives were. well as your correspondent mention of course it will be about- verifying all the electronic devices- every type of electronic communication could have been found. all the clues that can be found where that person- was living. and working depending on on that- clothes that were found. also any any person of. interest contacts and partners a former co workers to try to define just know that that's where it just how far to web reaches who's involved. and more importantly just. to try to find out. if the level of. a van threat is the threat level still higher in relation to this case was he part of a broader network that could be preparing something else was he- involved are. preparing something on his own with minimal support and those are the biggest closed as well half or the biggest elements that will have to be cleared. over the next hours and days. this is also of course a very big test for the british prime

minister and for his government especially as we head there ahead of the major- nato summit taking place- next week in london on a course ahead of those crucial- general elections. what will a boris johnson need to do to shore up security on. to shore the general public that all is well. it's extremely difficult to do more right now i think of course promimising a- a stronger police presence in the in the streets s of london or manchestr or do you cast a whole- is always w well. received however- how that c can truruly be implementedd is a big i issue. police presence in the u. k. is already jyj dvd- the security services already benefit from from a vast amount of resources. so it. it's really difficult about wororking o on e resiliency and- from his position. being in political campaign right on electoral campaign. you'll have to show that he is a better position to take on these challenges compared to his opponents. and usually this will is likely to

fall under more in the lap of. saudi counter mayor of london because it's under his watch that- not only do these attacks are cur but more importantly d. academic of lifestyle knife attacks in. london in n generall which creates a even more security. finally will- the uk's in neighbors be worried by this attack will of the government's be changing that tactic so potentially raising their own terra terra levels in. in response or in reaction to this london bridge attack. the i don't think there's a change in tactics coming but they're certainly- and they'll be an interest in their reassessing the threat level- no going everywhere for them either did germany u. k. and the netherlands at that as we entered into christmas markett season- does being alreadydy- high value targets for terrorists. following a an incident likee ninety days in london there certaininly heightened concern and they'll be in. a stronger f focus on

improving communication making sure that did the information exchange between various security partners is heightenedd and itit working properly and thatat the information of this they a are a shared is actually accurate and usable. okay young son thank you very much for being with us once. again here on fronts twenty four thank you very much. thank you meanwhile in the netheherlands emergency services have rushed to the scene off a nother stopping police say the incident took place on the main shopping street in the hague. and that at least three people have been injured offices say they're looking for a man aged between forty five to fifty years oldld. in eight track suits. a police spokesperson says it's too early to say if this is a terror attack. or notes will bring you more on that story when we have fresh information. in other world news there being scenenes of joy in baghdad's terrace square a as those taking part in a huge sits in. celebrated a key victory this
