Original: UK gave citizenship to Hamas chief’s guard, then he ‘plotted terror’
British authorities granted citizenship to a man who served as a bodyguard to a Hamas leader, according to The Times. The man is then reported to have been involved in plotting a terrorist attack, raising questions about how the security services vetted his application. The case is expected to prompt scrutiny of UK citizenship policy and counterterrorism checks, particularly given Britain's designation of Hamas as a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Why now: Renewed concern over UK counterterrorism vetting following reports that Hamas was granted British citizenship and linked to a terror plot
