Al-Qaeda chief sets up UK network

[ECH1969]

THE head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq has established a new terror network in Britain which is recruiting young Muslim fanatics to fight coalition troops.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has recently set up the group to recruit and train would-be suicide bombers and gunmen, counter-terrorism officials have said.

The new group, Ansar al-Fath — Partisans of Victory — is an offshoot of Ansar al-Islam, an organisation that is to be banned under new anti-terror rules announced by Charles Clarke, the home secretary, last week.

Ansar al-Fath provides logistical support to foreign fighters in Iraq and uses the internet to find new recruits for Zarqawi.

1. You usually post interesting links...

...and I read the links when I see them. I missed this story because I don't read The Times. I just did a trawl for more of your posts and there are some very interesting ones on the same theme that I have missed.

Appreciated ECH1969 ;)
