Prosecutor Duncan Penny said the attack was pre-meditated and the woman was targeted solely because of her role with the NSA.
“American intelligence represents the largest contributor within the intelligence community, so made sense as the symbolic target,” Bowles told police after his arrest. “I consider GCHQ just as guilty.”
“He was disgusted by the manner in which they gather information and use things against people,” Bunn said, and said he could no longer “handle the murky waters of ethics and whether they are doing the right thing and the power that the American NSA have and the things they do.”Loading The woman and a female US colleague were leaving the gym after a game of netball when Bowles walked up behind them and said, “Excuse me.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Olly Wright, who is a head of counter-terrorism policing, said the intervention probably saved the woman’s life.
