CIA warns Barack Obama that British terrorists are the biggest threat to the US - Telegraph
Barack Obama has been warned by the CIA that British Islamist extremists are the greatest threat to US homeland security.

They believe that a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the US under the visa waiver programme is the most likely source of another terrorist spectacular on American soil.

Intelligence briefings for Mr Obama have detailed a dramatic escalation in American espionage in Britain, where the CIA has recruited record numbers of informants in the Pakistani community to monitor the 2,000 terrorist suspects identified by MI5, the British security service.

Good article I did not realize that 40% of our terror investigations were in the UK. Thanks Delusianne!

Thanks, D.

It's time for Western nations to shut their immigration borders for a few years.

While France's military has a deserved reputation for being inept they have a top flight intelligence service who vigorously go after terrorists and potential terrorists. The judge Jean Louis Brugiere is regarded as being one of the world's most effective anti-terrorist professionals. French intelligence's effectiveness is the reason why France has not had an Islamist terror attack on its soil for 10 years despite its considerable problem with Islamists in suburban banlieue ghettos. They also remarked upon how lax the UK and US were in letting in people who could never have been let into France prior to 9/11.
