Britain published sweeping plans to fight terrorism on Wednesday, which, if passed into law, would let police hold suspects for three months without charge, sparking anger from senior judges and civil rights groups. However Tony Blairâs government may still have to back down on the most contested parts of the bill, which was drawn up after four British Islamist militants blew up 52 commuters and themselves on Londonâs transport system in July. The government has heeded police calls to extend the time they can detain terrorism suspects without charge to 90 days from 14. Police say they need longer to sift through evidence, including computer records, if they are to prevent attacks. âI have found their request absolutely compelling,â Blair told parliament. âI have to do my best to protect the people of this country and to make sure their safety comes first.â Critics say the measures are draconian compared with other countries and even Britainâs top judge has attacked the plans.
