London - The rush by right-wing groups to claim responsibility for the Brixton nail bomb last week has been joined by three more extreme organisations, Scotland Yard said yesterday, Rachel Donnelly writes.
Whether the telephone calls made to the British police this week were hoaxes was impossible to determine at this stage, said Det Chief Supt John Bunn of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch. But the right-wing groups were thought to be "very small".
At a Scotland Yard press conference, Supt Bunn refused to give the names of the organisations: "Giving their names will probably fuel their egos and their twisted minds."
With a reward of £30,000 for the arrest and conviction of the suspects provided by the Voice Newspaper, Lambeth Council and the Metropolitan Police, it is hoped that a reconstruction of the bomb scene being carried out in Brixton later today will provide fresh information.
