Suspects Named on UN Terror List Living Free In Britain

by Patrick Sawer

Calls were growing last night for firm action to be taken over a dozen terror suspects named on a UN list of individuals with links to al Qaeda who are still living freely in the UK – many at the taxpayer’s expense. The revelation that the men are being allowed to live in Britain without the prospect of being arrested or deported has prompted calls for an urgent change in the law.

Among the 12 suspects named on the UN list are a number of men accused of raising funds for a violent jihadist group with alleged links to Osama bin Laden.

Opposition MPs claim their presence in the UK leaves this country at risk from the prospect of new terror plots being hatched by violent extremists.
