Possible British passport terrorists. I am currently reading an extremely informative and scary book: By Ed Husain, titled “The Islamist: Why I joined radical Islam in Britain, what I saw inside and why I left”, 2007. He gives much detail on the ins and outs of various muslim/student organizations, their conflicts/cooperation, ideology and radical plans.
Even after 7/7 it seems the British have been very slow to take effective action, although since I have not finished reading, they may be doing more now. This whole dual passport thing needs careful review.
Mumbai attacks: Tracking British Islamists is an immense task for MI5
Excerpt: MI5 has identified about 2,000 individuals who pose a direct threat to national security and public safety and believes the number of potential terrorists living in this country could run to 4,000.
The vast majority will have Pakistani links through their family background but will have been born and brought up in this country. They will have been radicalised often through contact with an extremist cleric at a mosque and as a result of internet contact with other jihadis.
Invariably, they will have been to Pakistan at some point where they will have come into contact with militants belonging to Al Qaeda or Kasmiri groups like Jaish-i-Mohammed.
However, even when someone is suspected of terrorist links, it can be difficult to keep them under surveillance once they leave Britain.
