Extremists are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Britain's young Muslims, a disturbing police report warns.
The money shot:
Bringing people through faster might be a way of trying to limit the risks of detection prior to going operational. So whereas previously the al-Qa'eda network challenged state security services through using a small select cadre of skilled operatives, they might equally stretch capacity by mounting a larger number of less sophisticated attacks.
Sounds like Plan C to me.
The proposed solution:
Police and councils have been told to avoid putting some Islamic extremists through the criminal justice system. Members of extremist groups have have not “clearly” committed a crime would receive therapy and counselling under new Government plans to “deradicalise” religious fanatics.
Meanwhile in France:
Enough Semtex to make 56 bombs the size of the one used in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing has been stolen from a French castle.
Because Plan C is about making things even less comfortable than they already are.
For France, this means some really nasty stuff, given the current baseline.
