Available for over a year

Lord Sacks, a former Chief Rabbi and now professor of Law, Ethics and the Bible at King's College London, has spoken of a thwarted plot that "would have targeted Synagogues and Jewish schools and luckily that was thwarted by the police." He told today's Justin Webb: "All the attacks that you've mentioned ...were done by radicalised Islamists." But added that it was a very small minority within the Muslim community.
