God put oceans between some people for good reason.
They are in our countries and will never stop fighting against us.
When are we going to get serious?

Terror-lovers try for spy jobs
Following al-Qaida orders to 'infiltrate police forces'

John ReidBy Gordon Thomas LONDON -- MI5 has spotted "at least a dozen" al-Qaida sympathizers - "some who could be potential terrorists according to their profile backgrounds" - trying to join the intelligence service in its latest drive for recruits. MI5 - and other western intelligence agencies - are in desperate need of more linguists to translate an estimated 90 languages and regional dialects now spoken by people from the Middle East and Asia. More worrying for MI5 is that three of those who tried to get jobs with the service were British-born Pakistani police officers with Scotland Yard. They had all made visits in the past year to Pakistan, going to the North West Frontier where Osama bin Laden has established his latest headquarters. The officers have all denied any wrongdoing. But they are now on the MI5 watch List. The list contains the names of over two hundred other individuals who have obtained sensitive jobs in vital industries - nuclear power stations, the communications industry and airports - listed on the MI5 prime target alert. "The individuals were discovered by MI5 and the Scotland Yard Special Branch during regular checks," said a senior MI5 officer. "We believe they became radicalized after taking up employment. In other words, they were only then head-hunted by al-Qaida undercover operatives after they had been identified as likely supporters. That way the recruits were able to evade the strict vetting procedures for all applicants for sensitive posts." Jonathan Evans, the new MI5 chief, has now prepared a series of guidelines for employers - especially those on government work - to strengthen checks on all job applicants.
