UK Terror Suspects Said Targeting Overseas


 Three men who escaped from monitoring under Britain's anti-terrorist
legislation planned to travel overseas to carry out violence, a key
government official said Thursday.


Home Secretary John Reid, in a statement to lawmakers, said the men who
disappeared earlier this week, did not represent a direct threat to the
public in Britain.

"It is believed that these individuals wanted to travel abroad for
terrorism-related purposes," Reid wrote.

The men had been monitored under the control-order system, which restricts
the activity of terror suspects deemed a risk to national security even
though they face no charges. Prime Minister Tony Blair's government created
the system after a 2004 ruling by Britain's highest court concluded that the
detention of suspects in prison without trial was unlawful.

Reid and other ministers have criticized the measures, saying they do not
provide adequate protection for the public.

Police said two of the fugitive men, Lamine Adam, 26, and his 20-year-old
brother Ibrahim, are related to Anthony Garcia, who was convicted and jailed
for life last month for his part in a plot to carry out a bombing spree
against targets which included a nightclub and power plants.

The third man was named as Cerie Bullivant, 24. Police said the Adam
brothers failed to contact a monitoring company on Monday night, and that
Bullivant did not report to his local police station on Tuesday morning.

Reid said all three men had been required to hand any travel documents and
report daily to police. Two men were also required to call a monitoring
company each night to verify they were at home.

The Home Office said 17 people are currently monitored under the control
order system. Three other suspects who absconded from monitoring last year
remain on the run, police said.
