2 Aug
Summary
- An 18-year-old was arrested in Huddersfield before carrying out a contract killing.
- The teen was recruited online for a hit worth 270,000 Norwegian kroner.
- Authorities suspect a criminal or political motive linked to Iran.
An 18-year-old, identified as Natland, was apprehended in Huddersfield, UK, shortly after arriving to carry out a contract killing. He was recruited through an online handle, UnknownHustler, who posted a request for a hit valued at 270,000 Norwegian kroner, approximately £21,000.
Natland's journey involved meticulous online guidance from individuals associated with the Foxtrot criminal network. An operative, known as Agent 47, facilitated his travel and emergency passport acquisition. Another individual, codenamed '1', provided maps and instructions for locating hidden weapons and cash upon his arrival.
Authorities discovered Natland in a hotel with the weapons. He had not yet been informed of his target. Counterterrorism detectives are actively investigating the motive behind the planned assassination, exploring possibilities of a criminal act or a politically motivated mission potentially commissioned by Iran.
