City of London police class Occupy movement with terrorists such as Al Qaeda

A leaked memo from the City of London Police (the special police force maintained by the administrators of London's financial district, who are elected by the corporations with offices in its boundaries) includes the Occupy movement in a list of "terrorist/domestic extremist" organisations that pose a threat to the City's businesses. Other groups on the list include FARC and Al Qaeda.

It is likely that activists aspire to identify other locations to occupy, especially those they identify with capitalism.

Intelligence suggests that urban explorers are holding a discussion at the Sun Street squat. This may lead to an increase in urban exploration activity at abandoned or high profile sites in the capital.

Police include Occupy movement on ‘terror’ list (Thanks, carstenagger!)
