They are hiding it - even the Telegraph thinks so… train from Doncaster to London on Saturday evening to be told that this was not considered a terrorist attack. Terror is what many of them will have undoubtedly felt. A national security protocol called Plato was activated when first reports came in, which means a marauding terrorist assault was taking place. The police and emergency services responded rapidly and in great numbers to a relatively remote location. Arrests were made within 10 minutes of the alarm being sounded. There were stories of heroic acts by travellers and a member of the train crew trying to protect others from the assailant, with some getting severely wounded as a result. The Plato designation may have later been rescinded, but the implications of the incident were no less traumatic for apparently lacking a terrorist motivation. The problem is that while the police have supplied the ethnicity and nationality of the suspect, we are still ignorant of a motive. What was behind a seemingly unprovoked knife attack on passengers trapped in carriages unable to flee other than further down the train? We are told the remaining suspect is a British passport holder but was this act carried out in the name of a religion? The police said that “at this stage” there was no indication of the attack being a terrorist incident, so what was going on? Beyond being open about ethnicity and nationality – which after the Southport debacle was essential – questions still need to be answered if the public is to be satisfied that there was no sectarian reason.
