Add to FavoritesBrown said Sunday that the individuals range "from security guards to store managers" who know how to "deal with an incident and know what to watch for as people go about their daily business in crowded places such as stations, airports, shopping centers and sports grounds."
British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said the strategy, called Contest Two, would be more open than past counter-terrorism efforts. In the last two years, the UK has imprisoned over 80 suspected terrorists.
Brown went on to claim that more than two-thirds of the plots threatening the UK are linked to Pakistan, saying al-Qaeda members in northern Pakistan and in alleged UK networks are attempting to organize attacks in Britain.
The British prime minister concluded by saying that by 2011, Britain will be spending £3.5 billion a year on counter-terrorism activities.

Yeah way the go, keep on brainwashing people. Train them like militarists put them on the street and let them grab everybody that behaves suspicious.
Last week in Amsterdam there was suppose to be a "terrorism attack". Which turns out to be nothing but one big bullshit story. Scare people while nothing is happening. A question you can ask yourself is: if people really want to plan a attach can you stop them? an other question: Why would somebody plan an attack? Try to solve the problem at source, don't try to fix the symptoms of, like how its done with many problems these days.
Is that the world we want to life in?
