Infiltrated

And what steps are being taken to make sure that other proponents of jihad ideology, not necessarily linked to Al Qaeda, are stopped from obtaining sensitive positions?

Four police officers in Britain's top force are reportedly under close secret service surveillance after being identified as Al Qaeda spies, it emerged today.

MI5 are said to have homed in on the the “sleeper” agents passing secrets from Scotland Yard to the terror group only in recent weeks.

All four are understood to be Asians living in London 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.

Thus far, no arrests have been made- they are all under surveillance now- but the press has felt to need to go right ahead and give them a warning. That sure should help with the security services gathering more evidence against them, eh?

So much for "loose lips sink ships".
