A group claiming responsibility for the attack later e-mailed the Edinburgh Evening News warning of further action. One of the messages read: “We are angry that rich people, like him, are paying themselves a huge amount of money, and living in luxury, while ordinary people are made unemployed, destitute and homeless. This is a crime. Bank bosses should be jailed. This is just the beginning.”
