Al-Qaeda's ‘best assets’ prime UK timebomb
Sunday Telegraph ^ | 19/11/2006 | Sean Rayment

Posted on 11/19/2006 7:52:15 AM PST by george76

British Muslims volunteering to fight against coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are being sent back to Britain to become al-Qaeda "sleeper" agents, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.

MI5 agents believe that young Asian men, who have been trained to take part in the so-called "global jihad" in al-Qaeda camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan, are now regarded as too valuable an asset to be used fighting British and American troops.

MI5 and MI6 are working on the assumption that they are being ordered to return to their communities in Britain with instructions to establish secret, autonomous cells and to conduct independent terrorists operations without any direct input from al-Qaeda's high command.

Security sources claim that al-Qaeda is unlikely to send a British passport holder to his death as a suicide bomber in Iraq when he would be far more valuable as a "sleeper" in Britain.

MI5 fears that it is impossible to estimate how many British Muslims have attended training camps over the past decade or how many are back in the UK planning attacks.

Hundreds of thousands of people travel from Britain to Pakistan every year, mostly to visit relatives or do business.

The challenge facing the intelligence services, say security sources, is to discover which among them are travelling for "nefarious" reasons.

The warning was made as the Prime Minister is visiting Pakistan, where British terrorists are known to have undergone training.

Security sources have also warned of the danger facing Britain from radicalised Muslims who are currently fighting as part of the insurgency in Iraq.

impossible for MI5, given its current level of resources — it has 2,800 staff — to disrupt every terrorist plot being hatched against Britain.

Whoever goes to Pakistan, stays in Pakistan. Make it a slogan, like the one Vegas uses.

Prince Charles ought to be kicked off the dole and be made to get a job

He owns a lot of real estate and collects a lot of rents like Donald Trump. If the Queen's list of "those who take money from the public purse" were to be completely expunged the Royals would still survive intact. THey wouldn't be able to keep all their medieval castles and would give them to the national trust due to tax problems.

Doesn't it all really boil down to: 'what is the meaning of rape? Oh…THAT woman.' Oops, I did it again.

The UK govt receives far more money from the Royals than the royals receive from the govt. In 2004 the crown estates made a profit of £184.8m and govt money given to the monarchy and to fund buildings etc, etc was £36.8m. The Civil List is now set at £7.9m per annum and only funds Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh - all the other royals have to self-fund or ask their mom to help out.

When one includes the huge amount of tourist money brought into the country by the monarchy, I suspect they actually generate a net profit for the country.

I doubt you could run Air Force One for a year on what the civil list costs the UK taxpayer and the upside is we never end up with grubby democratic politicians like Carter or Clinton as our head of state going abroad and embarrassing us. . . . . ;-)

"gave warning that it was just a matter of time before Britain was attacked with a chemical, biological or radiological weapon." I fear the same is true here in the United States, with all these people and trucks crosing the southern border unimpeded."

National suicide. Those who allow these people into the country must be held RESPONSIBLE and punished accordingly right after the next terrorist attack takes place.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Sounds like a lot of Americans.

I went and had my hair cut the other day, and got a lecture from the hairdresser about why we shouldn't ever send young men and women to war. The girl who normally cuts my hair wasn't there at the time, and her young fiance is doing his second tour in Iraq now.

I asked her if she remembered the 3,000 people killed here on our soil on 9/11? Asked her what did she call that if not war?

After a long debate about why we have to defend our country she revealed she doesn't even vote, which doesn't surprise me. A military expert who has never even voted. This country is full of them.
