Telegraph - Terror chief warns of threat from Syria jihadists

_{23 januari 2014 - British Muslims fighting in Syria are highly likely to attempt terrorist attacks on British soil, the country’s most senior counter-terrorism police officer has warned. Commander Richard Walton, head of Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism unit, said it was “almost inevitable” that a Briton currently involved in the conflict would eventually attempt on outrage against this country or another Western target. He warned that a “shocking” number of British children are being lured into the conflict, and disclosed two teenage girls were arrested attempting to travel to Syria earlier this month, although no charges were brought. “All our experience around Afghanistan is that if British Muslims get trained in camps they become a very real threat because the al-Qaeda narrative extends to Western attack. It’s almost inevitable,” Mr Walton told the Evening Standard.}

_{The sign in the photo reads, “SECURITY OPERTION: Officers are conducting patrols in this area to deter and disrupt terrorist activity. There is not specific intelligence to suggest terrorist activity in this area but terrorists need to plan and prepare by observing possible targets or transporting equipment and material around.”

“Police activities, including stop and search, will make it harder for terrorists to operate. Your co-operation and patience will help keep London safe.”

In 2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that stop and search procedures without grounds for suspicion were illegal.

Last year it was found that a quarter of of police stop and search procedures in the UK were being carried out without officers obeying the law.}

“ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE IS ESSENTIAL,” the sign reads above an image of a man in a balaclava with an AK-47 sat at a computer. The ad goes on to make the claim, proven false by numerous recent credible studies, that electronic snooping is useful in disrupting terrorist plots.}
