New terror attacks 'must be expected'
(Filed: 02/02/2006)
The Government's anti-terror watchdog has warned there is a "a real and present danger" of new terror attacks in Britain.
Lord Carlile said he could not predict targets
Lord Carlile, the Government's independent reviewer of counter-terrorism laws, said documents shown to him by the Home Office were "sufficiently alarming" for him to conclude that suicide bombings similar to the July 7 attacks "must be expected".
The Liberal Democrat peer said: "The nature of the activities of which I have seen information is sufficiently alarming for me to re-emphasise ... the real and present danger of shocking terrorism acts involving suicide bombers.
"Further suicide bombings in the UK must be expected, and the targets are unpredictable."
Lord Carlile made the comments in a report on the Terrorism Act 2005, and expressed "real concern" about the indefinite detention of nine men held while the Government attempts to reach "no torture" agreements with their home countries.
He recommended the men should be released on control orders - which are imposed where there is not enough evidence to mount a criminal trial but the individuals cannot be deported because of human rights concerns - until such agreements were reached.
"It would have been far preferable for memoranda of understanding to have been reached before the deportation detentions took place," he said.
"How long the present situation for those persons can continue may be a matter for the courts to determine.
"Given that there is the control order system in existence, it would be preferable for that system to be used against the persons concerned until suitable memoranda have been achieved."
On an intellectual note..."what a do."
Well Carlile, you know how to prevent that next suicide bombing??? I do...
Get every one of those potential suicide bombers out of your country...
The 'religion' of the perpetrators is not.
Bombs are bombs the UK and especially Londoner's have put up with this threat for decades - 30 years of bombings sponsorsed by and paid for with US Dollars - we'll defeat the threat because we always do, America has a new attack coming. I'd hope that you don't collapse - I'm not hopeful.
Catholics have been launching everything from full scale invasions paid for by the pope to cowardly IRA terrorist attacks for the past 500 years on Britain and we have never been defeated. Perhaps we should get rid of the catholics first as they have historically represented a much greater threat to our freedoms than Muslims and then get rid of the muslims after?
Tell me, when is the US going to get rid of all it's muslims?
The US isn't likely to get rid of any muzlims...It's the religion of peace, don't ya know...
They can destroy half the United States and no one will do anything...But it doesn't matter if they are muzlim, catholic or girl scouts; if they are blowin' people up, and you want peace, get rid of 'em...Sooner than later...
