Terror threat "disorganised"

[dcentity2000]

As if we didn't know this already. London's mayor, Ken Livingstone, has gone on record as saying that the terror threat over London is "fairly disorganised" and involves small groups of disaffected people.

Ken Livingstone told the BBC London was not the focus of a "great organised international conspiracy with orders flowing down the chain".

But he said there had been 10 attempted attacks since 11 September 2001, two of which had come since the 7 July bombs.

Mr Livingstone, speaking on Radio 4's PM programme, said there had been "a couple" of attempted attacks since suicide bombers killed 52 people on London's Tubes and a bus on 7 July.

He added there were eight other attempts between the 11 September attacks on the US and 7 July this year.

"Largely what you're talking about is fairly disorganised and small groups of disaffected people," he said.

The mayor said his team had spent four years planning a response to any terror attack on the capital.

He said the disaster response had functioned "like clockwork" following the 7 July attacks.

Following the invasion of Afghanistan it is easy to understand how the terror networks have been damaged and in some cases destroyed - given the prowess of counter-terrorist units around the world, it is also easy to see why the remnants have difficulty bringing their crackpot plans to fruition.
