, which has been working alongside Kent Constabulary, have spoken to a number of witnesses and now believe "extreme right wing motivation" was behind the attack. It therefore has been classed as a "terrorist incident". Emergency services pictured near the migrant processing centre ( PA) Tim Jacques, Senior National Coordinator for CTPSE, said: "This was clearly a very worrying incident and although nobody was seriously hurt, two people did sustain minor injuries. "Increasingly in counter terrorism casework, across all ideologies, we are seeing individuals who have mental health concerns and a hateful mind-set. "Assessing when this crosses the terrorism threshold is a complex process and needs to be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. These decisions need to be determined by the facts, as far as they can be established at any given time. "After considering the evidence collected so far in this case, whilst there are strong indications that mental health was likely a factor, I am satisfied that the suspect's actions were primarily driven by an extremist ideology. This meets the threshold for a terrorist incident."

Counter Terrorism Policing South East have been working alongside Kent Police in the week since a shocking attack at an immigration centre in Dover
A petrol bombing at a new British immigration border force centre was motivated by a terrorist ideology, police say.
A man threw three petrol bombs with fireworks attached, one of which did not go off, at the building in Dover, Kent last Sunday.
The petrol bombs exploded as flames erupted and the man drove away from the scene. He was since found dead at a petrol station in the port town.
