Report: British security lacks resources
Oct. 22, 2006 at 8:00PM
A lack of resources is hampering the British security service, which is
trying to restrict the movement of suspected terrorists, a report says.
MI5 must produce information to justify control orders, and the
demands imposed by that requirement are undermining terror investigations,
The Sunday Telegraph said. Control orders are used to limit movements of
suspect who can't be charged with terrorist offenses.
Currently 15 control orders are in effect, even though more than 1,200
people are identified as being involved in terrorist activity, the Telegraph
said.
The situation has led for calls to use "intercept evidence" obtained
from wire tapes and e-mails in court, the Telegraph said. Current law does
not permit this intelligence to be used to charge suspects, the newspaper
said, and the police and special service personnel can only monitor
movements of potential terrorists through control orders.
The process for getting a control order request before a special
advocate -- independent lawyers appointed to assess whether the order could
be issued -- is time-consuming, the Telegraph said. One special advocate
said the process could be easier if the government allowed intercept
evidence to be used in court, the Telegraph said.
