Counter-terrorism police join hunt for hooded raiders who vandalised defence bosses' homes in night-time attacks

Counter-terrorism officers are working alongside local forces in the hunt for the hooded raiders responsible for the night-time attacks, after a pro-Palestine group calling itself The List claimed responsibility for targeting the homes of defence industry executives. In Fleet, Hampshire, red paint was thrown across a female executive's house at 3.30am and two of her car tyres were slashed. A Leonardo UK engineer's home in Dunfermline, Fife, was also targeted, and police are investigating a second incident in South Queensferry.

The List claims to hold a 'bank of addresses' built through hacking, leaks and whistleblowers.

The words 'baby killers' were sprayed across one executive's garage door.

Lord Walney branded the group's new home-targeting strategy 'disturbing and inexcusable'.
