Britain faces a new wave of home grown terrorists as 800 radicalised Islamist prisoners are released from jail, a leading security expert warns today.
Report warns that leaders such as Anwar al-Awlaki are encouraging individuals to launch less
sophisticated but equally deadly attacks on crowded places
Michael Clarke, a former government adviser and the head of the Royal United Services Institute, says he believes the security services could struggle to cope with a new generation of extremists seeking to carry out "lone wolf" attacks.
In a report published today, Prof Clarke says that, over the next five to 10 years, about 800 prisoners – in jail for non-terrorism offences – are due to be released on to the streets having been radicalised in jail.
They will be joined by convicted terrorists serving short sentences who, once freed, are likely to be just as committed to the cause of jihad as before they were jailed, the report claims.
Prof Clarke, who advised Gordon Brown as a member of the National Security Forum and is a visiting professor at King's College London, warns that this "new wave" will pose a significant challenge to the security services responsible for identifying and monitoring them.
While previous al-Qaeda tactics involved so-called "spectacular" attacks, the report warns that the terrorist group's leaders, such as Yemeni preacher, US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, are encouraging individuals to launch less sophisticated but equally deadly attacks on crowded places.
Their targets have also changed from concentrating on aircraft to including attacks on trains, hotels and sporting events. The report will serve as stark reminder to the Government and public that the threat from Islamist terrorism remains severe, even though there has not been a fatal attack on British soil since 2005.

Stupid Brits.
As stupid as suicidal Jews and 0bama’s “Americans”.
The west will die if we don’t stand up for ourselves.
“Britain faces a new wave of home grown terrorists as 800 radicalised Islamist prisoners are released from jail..”
WHY? Does the freaking western whole world have a death wish?
Fact: Islam is a Totalitarian Political Idealogy with it own Military.
Britain: A society paralized by political correctness and fear of Islam for they have no guns
Islam: Ready to slaughter Britons in what they know will be further concessions toward their goal of claiming Britain as an Islamic Sharia ruled Empire of Europe.
Royal Family: Impotent and Sick
>Does the freaking western whole world have a death wish?<
.
Ever since we decide to get our oil from Muslim countries instead of developing our own resources.
Perfect.
like most Brits they will blame the US...I enjoy their suffering. Have a cheeseburger and beer on me.
When millionis of socialist Brits refugees move to America...
Oh, that’s why 0bamacare — to lure the Brits here before their islands sink.
Centuries ago ya’ll kicked the scum bags out, time to do it again..No country can survive this threat from the inside, Islam is the world’s enemy, let them have the hellholes they own, but if the free world does not wake up, Sharia law will be devastating.
Been whipped by the liberal “you can’t do that” crowd. Can’t punish criminals of any kind. You only get punished if you fight back.
Time to send those people packing or eliminate them, along with the troublemakers of ALL stripes.
gez thats as bad as the mexicans coming over!
We’re next...
First, there was New Wave music. Now they have New Wave terror. What will those wild Brits think of next?/s
The west will die due to demographics. It is a certainty
The west will die if we don’t stand up for ourselves.
Stand up to who? Our government refuses to identify who the enemy is unless the person or group is right of center politically.
“like most Brits they will blame the US...I enjoy their suffering. Have a cheeseburger and beer on me.”
The UK is the country leading the West into the Abyss of Destruction. Have a cheeseburger and beer on me.
“When millionis of socialist Brits refugees move to America...
Oh, that’s why 0bamacare — to lure the Brits here before their islands sink.”
There is already a large exodus of Brits that are getting out of dodge because they can see the writing on the wall. They are heading for Australia, Cananada, and the USA.
At least British refugees speak English.
Every word you said was TRUE.
