Bag holding UK police anti-terror files lost in street
2006-06-26
Anti-terrorist police have been ordered to revamp security procedures after a bag containing details of bomb plots and suspects identified for surveillance was lost in the street.

The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, has imposed strict new rules on the carrying of sensitive material after files were accidentally lost in a rucksack in south-east London. Sources yesterday told the Guardian the files held important information and that anti-terrorist officers were desperate to get them back before they fell into the wrong hands.

The Home Office and the home secretary, John Reid, are being kept informed. The officer responsible for the mistake has been moved to other duties.

#4  How the hell do you lose a rucksack in a street unless you were careless? Which brings me to the point of all of us (except the trolls) as being human and that or the lack of that will decide all the outcomes.

#3  I imagine the various investigative agencies also have to follow up thousands of false leads, too, from what appear to be reliable sources. Lots of needles in a very large haystack...

#2  The result of being forced to recruit more muslims - more f*ck-ups, more infiltration.

#1  An IT worker who knew Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer said he had contacted police about them because of the anti-western material they were producing

It wouldn't suprise me at all if thousands of legit tips a year to the FBI or Homeland security are never followed up on or even answered, even though they are made by local police, folks in the Muslim communuity, import export biz...
