al-Qaeda fanatics in Britain are being taught to avoid detection -- by pretending to be gay. A new terror training manual tells Islamic extremists to lie about their sexuality if a woman approaches them in case she is a "honeytrap" spy sent by security services.
The handbook, which was uncovered by a Sunday Mirror investigation, says: "Many hotels -- especially in busy UK cities -- have women hanging around the lobby areas in order to attract men.
"A young beautiful woman may come and talk to you. The first thing you do to protect yourself from such a situation is to make dua (prayers) to Allah for steadfastness.
"The second thing is to find an excuse to get away from her that is realistic and sensible, such as you having a girlfriend for the past few years and you are loyal to her or you are homosexual."
The suggestion is one of many tips in the manual, called Class Notes From The Security and Intelligence Course. The 64-page guide, all in English, was written to try to stop the police and MI5 uncovering the identity of terrorists plotting attacks on British soil.
