Men of "Middle Eastern Origin" Tried to Kidnap UK Serviceman

Don't worry. Theresa May may cap immigration to 100,000 in 2020. Or maybe 2120.

An incident at a Royal Air Force (RAF) base in England during which two men tried to grab a serviceman is being treated as an attempted abduction.

Police said a serviceman in his late 20s was jogging when he was approached by two men of “Middle Eastern origin” near the married quarters at RAF Marham, in Norfolk, Wednesday.

A police spokesman said: “The first suspect apparently shouted at him and made an attempt to grab him. The victim successfully fought him off causing the suspect to fall to the ground. The second man then approached the victim but on noticing his accomplice on the ground went towards him instead, at which point the victim ran off.

“The second man was armed with a knife, which has not been located at this time.”

This could very well have been an attempt to replicate the Lee Rigby beheading. The knife is certainly suggestive of the possibility that they wanted to be able to kill him at the scene.

Detective Superintendent Paul Durham, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, said: “The motivation for the attack remains unclear at this time, and whilst we are currently unable to discount terrorism, there are a number of other possible hypotheses. We are therefore carrying out a thorough investigation to understand what has happened, why and who is responsible.”

It's a mystery alright.
