Briton held near Afghan terror camp
NICHOLAS RUFFORD
NEW fears that Britain has become a breeding ground for terrorists
were raised yesterday by Pakistan officials who said they were
holding a British subject suspected of having links with Osama Bin
Laden’s Al- Qaeda network.
The man, identified as James Alexander McLintock, was detained at the
Afghanistan frontier in a remote region of the Northwest Frontier
province, close to a terrorist camp where several of the September 11
hijackers trained.
The man was said to have given a Muslim name to border guards and to
speak Arabic as well as English. He claimed to be working for a non-
governmental organisation and carried a British passport, which
officials believe is genuine. McLintock is said to be white and
originally from Scotland.
Bin Laden’s call for jihad warriors to join his fight against the West attracted
recruits from America, Australia and France as well as from Britain. Last weekend
Richard Reid, a south London man who travelled to Pakistan
and was said to have been seen in an Afghanistan camp, boarded an aircraft with
explosives concealed in his shoe.
The Foreign Office said it was investigating reports that McLintock was in detention
in Pakistan and was trying to contact authorities there through consular officials in
Islamabad. MI5 is also investigating the case as p
art of a wider probe into Britons who may have travelled to Afghanistan for terrorist
training and returned home to carry out new terrorist acts. Several Britons are
thought to have received such training, according to in
formation gathered from Al-Qaeda camps near Jalalabad and Kandahar.
British and American special forces stripped the abandoned camps of documents and
intelligence officials have been sifting through them, looking for the names of
westerners who may have been planted as sleepers in Europe
or America.
Senior Pakistani officials said McLintock was detained about 10 days ago. Imtiaz
Gilani, the information minister for the Northwest Frontier province, said: “He is
being questioned closely and we have not ruled out a link
between this man and other Al- Qaeda suspects.”
Javed Iqbal, the region’s home secretary, said McLintock was “being interrogated”,
though he would not disclose where he was being held.
“Even if he has committed no other offence, it is a serious matter to cross at a
no-entry point. He may be tried or deported,” he said.
A man using a fake British passport in the name of Neil Dermont
Miller was arrested yesterday in the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda. The
man, who also had literature on September 11, said he had an interest
in religious conflicts and had bought the fake passport after losing
his real one. Police said he was a Nigerian student, named as
Olusegun Isaak, 27. They did not think he was a terrorist.
