Armed police swooped on terror suspect as he headed for Downing Street with bag packed with knives

[Telegraph] A suspected jihadist carrying a rucksack packed with knives was heading towards Downing Street when he was dramatically tossed in the slammer
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
by armed police, security sources have told The Telegraph.

It is understood that the suspect’s family had become concerned about his behaviour and reported him to the authorities several weeks ago. Investigators believe he was about to launch an attack.

The ’lone wolf’ suspect had been under close surveillance when counter-terrorism officers ordered his immediate detention as he came within 300 yards of the gates of the Prime Minister’s residence.

Update from the Daily Mail at 1:40 p.m. EDT:

Khalid Mohammed Omar Ali, 27, is a British citizen who was born abroad and grew up in Tottenham. He is said to have been part of a pro-Palestine convoy which took supplies and aid to the Gaza strip in 2010.

That would be George Galloway's Viva Palestina group that drove what was claimed to be $5 million of aid to Gaza via Syria and Egypt. Mr. Galloway was not among them, having made himself persona non grata in Egypt.

#2 Trailing daughter #1 is autistic and has Asperger's. She was diagnosed her senior year of high school. The Asperger's just made things challenging -- it was the unrecognized co-morbidities that put an end to plans of independence by the time she was twenty.

#3 Maybe he's autistic and has assburgers.

Did I hear right that is how the previous knife attacker was explained away?

#4 It seems to me not to be so much explaining away as highlighting a population that has fewer defenses against grooming.
