Clarke widens terror net
· Index of Islamist militants may lead to UK bans and deportations
· Plea bargain plan to encourage jailed terrorists to turn informers
Michael White, Richard Norton-Taylor and Alan Travis, The Guardian, July 21, 2005
The home secretary, Charles Clarke, yesterday widened the worldwide net that will allow him to exclude or deport from Britain Islamist militants whose inflammatory language or behaviour is judged to foment or provoke terrorism.
He told MPs that intelligence, foreign and home office staff would compile a database of individuals which may lead to them being refused entry to the UK, or even being removed. Civil liberties groups last night said that they were alarmed by the list's catch-all nature.
Under the plan, a systematic index will be drawn up of what the home secretary called "unacceptable behaviours". Included on it will be anyone preaching, running a website or writing articles which are "intended to foment or provoke terrorism"
