MI5 IDs Four Al Qaeda Spies In London Metro Police Force
Something that may be just as disturbing to me of the fact that there actually are Jihadi spies in British law enforcement, is the fact that this article was published, because you’ll note the writer of the article says that they have been identified and are being watched and investigated.
Not that they have been arrested.
A NEST of Al-Qaeda terror spies has been uncovered in Britain’s top police force.
MI5 agents have identified FOUR London Met officers after searching for a cell of fanatics passing Scotland Yard’s secrets.
The spooks homed in on the officers in the past few weeks after working with anti-terror police to uncover “sleeper” agents in London’s Met.
All four are Asians living in the capital and are feared to have links both with Islamic extremists in Britain and worldwide terror groups—including al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The suspected spies are believed to have used methods similar to those employed by the IRA in the 1970s as they infiltrated the police and the Army in Northern Ireland.
A Scotland Yard source told us: “If there are people within the police force feeding information to terror groups this needs to be stopped. Since the names came to light there has been a non-stop effort to find out everything about their backgrounds.”
MI5 chiefs believe the suspected moles have been planted as sleepers—agents under deep cover—to keep al-Qaeda informed of anti-terror raids.
They fear the four could have already accessed sensitive information about secret operations to root out terror cells planning further attacks in the UK.
The officers’ names emerged during a low-profile investigation into police force infiltration which has been going on since the July 2005 London bombings. Last year MI5 believed there were up to eight police staff—uniform and civilian— with links to extremist groups.
Now spooks are watching the four suspects—who work at different police stations around London—around the clock while searching for the vital evidence needed to make arrests.
The cops’ every move at work is being monitored along with their phone calls. Homeland security agents are sifting through their bank account transactions.
MI5 agents are also understood to be building a family tree for each one and trying to put together a picture of their links to their home countries.
Their names are being cross-referred with lists of men who have been to terror training camps in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
What is clear is that the infiltration methods used by the officers under suspicion bear hallmarks of the IRA in the past. Our police source said: “The IRA tried to infiltrate and they succeeded to a certain extent.
“By just slipping under the radar it takes suspicion away from you.
“If you are a young Pakistani of English origin and you feel you want to do something for the cause of Islam, what better way than to join the enemy and attack from within?”
MI5 believes other sleeper cells are trying to infiltrate public services across Britain in order to gain vital intelligence.
Even exiled cleric Omar Bakri has revealed how Islamic extremists were working at the heart of the NHS and other vital services.
Failed asylum seeker Omar Altimimi was jailed for nine years last July for keeping manuals on detonating car bombs. Before his conviction he had applied to work as a cleaner for Greater Manchester police.
Numbers of officers from ethnic minorities have risen since the Met was accused of being institutionally racist in the Stephen Lawrence public inquiry report.
MP Patrick Mercer, Tory terrorism advisor, told us last night: “This discovery by MI5 comes as no surprise to me.
“Recruiting ethnic people into key public sector organisations— in place to protect us—is a risk.
“Our vetting procedures have to be toughened before it’s too late.”

Nods to Kurt (the infidel).
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
The only hope is that MI5 is trying to provoke some kind of reaction by releasing this information. If that isn’t the case, they are f***ing idiots.

Thats the most interesting part about it, i thought the same thing. And hopefully this doesnt fuck up their case against them. I also wonder how many others there are that they dont know about, or in our agencies.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:34 pmSo, what… are we supposed to be surprised by this? Johnny Jihad has infiltrated? Gee, I thought that was part of their battle plan to begin with. Someone near the top of the ladder miss that?
I ask the same question. Why publicize it? Looking to get a reaction out of the suspects? or do like the compromised ELINT program that made AQ’s comms go dark hours after it was made public.
Maybe the propaganda corps has been infiltrated too and they were just trying to get word to their cop buddies to let them know that they’ve been compromised…
Some people don’t know when to shut up…
March 9th, 2008 at 4:28 pmThey print stuff like this to perpetuate the (false) notion that only Islamic extremists are the problem and not *all* Moslems. Leftards never let reality check their dazzling multi-culti BS because they can’t cope with the idea of other people hating them.
March 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pmMaybe there are 40, and since the 4 aren’t named, they’ll all think their covers are blown and will run for it. Heh.
Unless MI5 is infiltrated, of course …
