Dozens of Islamic extremists have returned to Britain from terror training camps in Somalia, the British security services believe.
Intelligence analysts are worried that they may attempt to launch attacks in this country or use the kudos from having trained and fought in Somalia to try to attract new recruits. The issue was raised by Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, in his first interview last month.
In the US, the outgoing head of the CIA, Michael Hayden, has said that Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia in late 2006 catalysed expatriate Somalis around the world.
An investigation for Channel 4 News, to be broadcast tonight, also reveals that a suicide bomber who grew up in Ealing is thought to have blown himself up in an attack in Somalia that killed more than 20 soldiers.
The incident is the first reported case involving a Somali based in Britain and will add to pressure on Scotland Yard and the Home Office to tackle the problem within the Somali community, which, at about 250,000 people, is the biggest in Europe.

Wow. That’s as stunning as the sun rising in the east.
Awww, aren’t they quaint with thier culture.
“Dozens of Islamic extremists have returned to Britain..”
Can anyone tell me how many Islamic extremes have returned to the US?
A quarter of a million Somalis in Britain, I mean what the fu...? How did a quarter of a million Somlais get into Britain, there is no historical links between the two nations and they’re a helluva long distance apart. Do they just let anyone into the UK now?
Wow. They imported it here to Columbus before London. I feel so cosmopolitan.
Dude, we have 30,000 here in Columbus. No, I'm not kidding.
Okay, perhaps I was mistaken — the next US troop deployment may *not* be in Africa after all.
