Al-Qaeda 'bid to infiltrate MI5'

Al-Qaeda sympathisers have been trying to infiltrate the British security service MI5, the BBC has learned.

Whitehall officials confirmed what some had long suspected, says BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner.

But those with al-Qaeda sympathies were weeded out during a six to eight-month vetting process, officials added. [.... Why do I believe they may have missed a few? ]

MI5 believes, from polls, that around 400,000 people in the UK are "sympathetic to violent jihad around the world", said Frank Gardner.

Within that number 1,200 people have been identified as being activists the security service believe are engaged in acts of terrorism at home and abroad, he said. [.... Don't you love that term, "activists" to cover the scum who would destroy untold lives in our countries?]

Search: sinister , humiliation ...

Or maybe you could write the script.

A problem, of course, in that there is the need for translators ...
