UK police apologize for using Arabic phrase in mock attack

None

LONDON- British police have apologized for having a mock suicide bomber shout the phrase "Allahu Akbar" before setting off an explosion during a terror response exercise.

 

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement Tuesday it had been "unacceptable" to use the religious phrase as part of the terror drill at a major Manchester shopping mall.

 

The Arabic phrase means "God is Great."
