Brits have more under surveillance...
2003-01-19
Britain's police chief said Sunday that several suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida are under surveillance and more arrests are expected. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens said al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his associates have acted "very cleverly" in tapping into existing networks in Britain.
You let the fellow travellers in, and now you're surprised when they've joined the procession?
Stevens said on Sky News television that "There's still a number of people who still have yet to be arrested, but as I said we are working very, very closely with the security services. We know that there's certain links with al-Qaida."
Maybe that number'll include some of the more notable and bloodthirsty imams. They'll really be serious when they close down Finsbury Mosque and sell the building to the Lutherans or the Bah'ais.

#3  ...or a clever way to trace the pre-existing networks in the UK. These guys just can't seem to keep away from each other, very poor operational security.

It's kinda like they're...running scared?

#1  Meanwhile, Britain is accepting Taliban as asylum seekers, since they would be in danger in their own country. Maybe this is just a clever way to keep tabs on them all.
