Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, Vicki Evans, reiterated this week they were assessing "all possible angles" regarding the ongoing probe. "The investigation into circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is hugely complex, and our specialist teams are interrogating multiple lines of enquiry," she said on Thursday. "As we’ve made clear, we’re looking at all possible angles – including possible foreign state involvement. "I’d like to thank the public for their continued support and patience whilst we work through this investigation." Prime Minister Andy Burnham revealed to GB News there are "strong indications" Iran played a part in a major security incident. Benjamin Netanyahu insisted Israel shared intelligence with the UK to help thwart the threat, and without it, "it would probably have gone through and we don't know how many British lives would have been lost". Speaking to the Daily Mail, he claimed sharing intelligence is far from an isolated incident. "I don't know how many lives we have saved giving Britain information about impending attacks," he told the outlet.
