Joshua Cammidge, 31, has been charged with national security offenses following his arrest in Swindon. While The Guardian emphasizes the involvement of London’s counter-terrorism unit in the procedural investigation, Al Jazeera explicitly links the charges to a suspected sabotage plot involving the GRU Volunteer Corps.
