New investigation into 1987 Debenhams anti-fur' firebomb attack - Evening Standard - http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/new...29881.html

Detectives have reopened an investigation into the planting of a bomb at a London Debenhams 29 years ago.
Scotland Yard said fresh lines of enquiry had been established over the firebombing of the Harrow store in 1987 which caused £340,000 worth of damage.
The attack is thought to have been linked to an anti-fur campaign, police said.
A spokesman said: "A team is now pursuing a number of lines of enquiry which were identified following a thematic review of the original investigation, by the then Bomb Squad.
"This will include exploiting potential advances in DNA techniques, new information that has been established by Operation Herne and claims made under parliamentary privilege by an MP in 2012."
The new investigation comes four years after Green MP Caroline Lucas [2012] used Parliamentary privilege to accuse an undercover police officer of planting the bomb in an effort to prove his commitment to animal rights extremists.

She told MPs in June 2012 that Bob Lambert left an "incendiary device" at the store as part of co-ordinated attacks on three branches in protest at the sale of animal fur by the chain.
Operation Herne is the Met's investigation into possibly criminal misconduct by members of the force's now defunct Special Demonstration Squad, which was set up to use specialist officers to infiltrate British protest groups.
Scotland Yard said detectives had also notified the ongoing Undercover Policing Inquiry about recent developments.
Mr Lambert told The Guardian in 2012: "It was necessary to create the false impression that I was a committed animal rights extremist to gain intelligence so as to disrupt serious criminal conspiracies.
"However, I did not commit serious crime such as 'planting an incendiary device at the [Debenhams] Harrow store'."
Ende.
According to book Undercover: The True Story of Britain's Secret Police By Paul Lewis, Rob Evans, whilst the police would've been informed prior to the event, the sprinklers actually did just happen to be turned-off, so where the intent was apparently to cause £-damage thru' sprinkler-water-damaged stock, instead, it took 80 firemen & 10 engines 5hrs to put it out & ended-up costing c.£7mill., an' all to smear & 'own' the Animal Liberation Front, by the Special Demonstration Squad, the same ppl who infiltrated the Stephen Lawrence family & who slept with-, & had children by-, women, on false pretences, who they knew they were going to leave. There's an interesting bit in the book where he's apparently attempted to be talked-out of it, but he's sooo 'into' his 'alter'/legend, that he's well-up for it. The deduction of that concept thru' the references I get is very familiar to me - psychotically & pathologically deranged & completely deluded fantacist nutters.

The 'Occupy' bods at St. Pauls were saying these types were planting hyponerdic deedles all 'round the place, to make 'em look like druggies.
I've had a few "fur" refs over the years.
