Operation Tân (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈtɑːn], "fire") was the name of a series of police raids in Wales between 1 October 1979 and 30 September 1980. The aim of the operation was to identify Welsh Nationalists responsible for burning second homes with English owners.
It has been criticised as a more generalised trawl of left and nationalist milieux within Wales.[1]
