| Soddies feed UK intel on al-Qaeda |
| 2006-05-16 |
| Saudi Arabia has relayed intelligence on Al Qaida to Britain, a report said. The report said Saudi intelligence informed London of an Al Qaida threat to Britain. But the Saudi information was later determined to have been incorrect. "We found that some information was passed to the agencies about possible terrorist planning for an attack in the UK," the House of Commons' Intelligence and Security Committee said in the report. "It was examined by the agencies who concluded that the plan was not credible." The report, released on Thursday, examined the Islamic suicide bombings in London in July 2005. The parliamentary committee determined an Al Qaida link, saying two of the four bombers visited Pakistan several times before the coordinated suicide strikes in London's mass transit system, in which 52 people were killed. |
