Just what is the threat?

UK prime minister Gordon Brown, on a trip to India and Pakistan, says that 75% of the UK's most serious terrorist cases are linked to Al Qaeda in Pakistan (hardly surprising, considering how many Muslims in the UK are of Pakistani origin), and proposes a new pact with Pakistan to combat the terrorists. (Thanks to Jihad Watch.)

Meanwhile, Scotland Yard employs as senior advisor on Muslim extremism a Tunisian wanted by Interpol for his links to an alleged terrorist organization. The individual was convicted in absentia in Tunisia and sentenced to 56 years in prison. What's more, looks like Scotland Yard knew all about this when they hired him. Read this article by Melanie Phillips and weep.

The UK authorities will never solve their problem unless and until they figure out who the enemy is.
