Terror raid tactics 'to continue'

Anti-terrorist police will need to mount similar raids in the future to that carried out in Forest Gate, east London, Sir Ian Blair has said.
But the Metropolitan Police chief said new ways should be found of engaging with local people where raids occur.

The arrests in Forest Gate came after a tip from a credible source, the Metropolitan Police Authority was told.

Two brothers who were held in the raid, one of whom was shot, were later freed without charge.

After the raid, police and intelligence service tactics came into question from Muslim community leaders.

In a report to the authority, police said claims that 250 officers entered the house were inaccurate.
