Yassar Yaqub inquest: Police say man shot dead on M62 near Huddersfield was 'nighly active criminal' who had 'threatened serious harm to another man'
On Wednesday the inquest heard evidence from a West Yorkshire Police officer, referred to as D4 to protect his identity.
He confirmed he had granted a “standing authority” for deploying firearms officers in relation to the operation. The report on the aims of Operation Fillview said: “The overall aim is to deliver sustained public protection through the recovery of firearms and disrupting organised criminality through the recovery of substantial quantities of controlled drugs and cash whilst protecting the right to life of Yasser Adalat.”
The officer told jurors he “would have been failing in my duty not to put a plan in place” based on the intelligence, and said Mr Adalat was wanted by police for an unrelated matter.
