Ghost in the Terror Machine

I was just Googling and doing some reading regarding the anti-terror raids last week and came across this article which I thought worth archiving:

"... At any given time MI5 monitors about 2,000 people in Britain who form an estimated 230 networks suspected of links to violent extremism. Each individual is subject to a sliding scale of monitoring depending on the agency’s assessment of the threat they pose and how close they are thought to be to "attack planning".

Each week a committee of senior MI5 officials meet at the agency’s headquarters in Westminster to review the status of each operation, upgrading and downgrading different investigations as appropriate..."

Very good article worth reading and re-reading.
