Army fitness instructor and three soldiers he trained are arrested for ‘preparing terror acts’ as members of banned neo-Nazi group which praised murder of Labour MP Jo Cox
‘Four British Army soldiers were last night being questioned after being arrested for supporting neo-Nazi terrorism.
The servicemen were among five people held by police on suspicion of being members of National Action, a far-Right group banned by the Government.
The organisation, linked to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, was described by the Home Office as ‘virulently racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic’ and eager to see the UK embroiled in a ‘violent race war’.
The military personnel were seized after investigators uncovered ‘inflammatory’ far-Right material, including images and slogans, on encrypted social media site WhatsApp.
Three of the soldiers served with the 2nd Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment, known as the Poachers, and based in Cyprus, while a fourth was part of 4th Regiment Army Air Corps in Wattisham, Suffolk. The fifth man arrested during yesterday’s raids is a civilian.’
