Terrorist attack in the UK inevitable
U.K. Home Secretary David Blunkett said itâs inevitable the country will face a terrorist attack and the security services need greater powers to apprehend suspects before they strike, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported. ``We cannot guarantee, and nor should we pretend to, that we can protect ourselves forever by security alone,ââ Blunkett told the BBCâs ``Newsnightââ program late yesterday. Al-Qaeda and its allied terrorist networks are ``geared upââ to suicide bombings that ``can take our lives at any time in ways that weâve never perceived before,ââ Blunkett said. Security services need to be able to apprehend terrorists ``before rather than after they have committed the act.ââPosted by: Dan Darling 2004-02-25 |
