Cops foil terrorists
POLICE have prevented several terror attacks in recent months, Britain’s top cop has revealed.
Met Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens said yesterday: “It’s more than possible we have foiled four or five.”
He said court cases were pending.
And he added: “Since September 11 there have been 520 arrests, half have been charged with an offence and there are 90 about to go to court.”
In March Sir John, 62, said it would be “miraculous” if London was not attacked by terrorists.

When your name is bin Ladin, life becomes more difficult. People you meet wonder whose side you're on. Your children will have trouble finding jobs. "There is no escape from that name," says Carmen bin Ladin over a cup of tea in Toronto. "It is too notorious."

By Guy Taylor
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
