Friday 11 September 2009: Far right group the English Defense League (EDL) called a protest along with the Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) outside the new Harrow mosque, North West London, on the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
When the EDL and SIOE supporters did not arrive, some youths in the protest - who, according to local community leaders, were not from Harrow - turned their aggression on the police. And when the police failed to retaliate these same youths then turned on the press, attacking and smashing cameras, and throwing fireworks into groups of photographers.
The photograph above shows some of the main protagonists of the violence. It is interesting to note these few were fully masked in balaclavas, wearing anonymous black clothing and even had hands covered with gloves to avoid skin colour (or tattoos) being detected.
