Police have dropped an investigation into comments made by controversial former US marine Ken O'Keefe at an Israel Apartheid Week event.

Officers studied video footage of Mr O'Keefe telling an audience that Israel "must be destroyed", but decided no criminal offence had been committed.

Mr O'Keefe had responded to last week's news of the investigation by tweeting: "Bring it ****ing on."

During the debate at Middlesex University's Hendon campus last month, Mr O'Keefe compared Jews to Nazis and claimed Mossad was "directly involved" in the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.
