Special Report: Inside Counter Terror

Warning: The following report contains images of weapons.

Sky News has been given exclusive access behind the scenes of West Midlands Police's counter-terror operation.

Our correspondent Tom Parmenter was shown a stash of deadly weapons seized by officers over the last two years, including a crossbow and a meat cleaver.

Some of the weapons were in the possession of three jihadists who called themselves 'The Three Musketeers' and who were planning an attack on a police or military target in Birmingham.

The force has also seen a rise in far-right terrorism, including the arrest of neo-Nazi Mikko Vehvilainen in 2017.

The former British soldier was stashing a warhammer among other weapons at his military address.
