Britain's Al Qaeda Problem

The British government has a huge problem on its hands and it is letting political correctness get in the way of doing the right thing and arresting cops who are linked with al Qaeda.

That's right folks, intel has found that up to eight police officers in the UK have ties to terrorist groups, including al Qaeda:

Up to eight police officers and civilian staff are suspected of links to extremist groups including Al Qaeda.

Some are even believed to have attended terror training camps in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Their names feature on a secret list of alleged radicals said to be working in the Metropolitan and other forces.

The dossier was drawn up with the help of MI5 amid fears that individuals linked to Islamic extremism are taking advantage of police attempts to increase the proportion of ethnic staff.

Astonishingly, many of the alleged jihadists have not been sacked because - it is claimed - police do not have the "legal power" to dismiss them.

We can also reveal that one suspected jihadist officer working in the South East has been allowed to keep his job despite being caught circulating Internet images of beheadings and roadside bombings in Iraq.

He is said to have argued that he was trying to "enhance" debate about the war.

Classified intelligence reports raising concerns about police staff's background cannot be used to justify their dismissal, sources said.

What kind of debate is circulating beheadings and IED explosions causing? He's pushing the jihadi agenda and hopes that the UK and US get out of Iraq so that the jihadis can claim victory and spread their venomous ideology unopposed through the Middle East and around the world.

The individuals involved are not just police officers, but those who work as cleaners or other positions with access to law enforcement buildings.

Suspicions are growing that the gang behind the failed London bomb attacks could have received inside information about rescue procedures in the aftermath of an atrocity in the capital.

The Daily Mail can reveal that the second device parked near Haymarket was left at a designated "evacuation assembly point" where civilians and the emergency services would have gathered had the first bomb gone off.

Investigators are trying to establish whether the bombers knew the significance of the location.

Sources said it is unlikely that the Met is the only force which may have been infiltrated by Al Qaeda sympathisers.

Omar Altimimi, a failed asylum seeker jailed for nine years yesterday for hoarding manuals on how to carry out car bombings, had applied to work as a cleaner for the Greater Manchester force.

In a separate development, it is understood that a policeman was removed from his post after concerns about his conduct in the aftermath of a major anti-terrorist operation in the past two years.

As the bombing case developed, it was surmised that the bombers were possibly tipped off by someone as to know that law enforcement was on to them. It is possible that one of these individuals is among the eight known to law enforcement thus far.

The problem is that there are others that have not yet been identified.
