Britain Failing to Check Migrants on Terror Database, Says Interpol Chief

Vikram Dodd and Richard Norton-Taylor write in The Guardian:

The head of Interpol made an unprecedented attack on the British government yesterday, saying it was putting its citizens at risk by failing to check immigrants against a database of suspected terrorists.

Ronald Noble, secretary general of the international police cooperation agency, said Britain needed to "catch up" and enact tougher checks. The comments came as the UK security minister warned of a battle of up to 15 years against al-Qaida-inspired terrorism, and as the investigation into attempted car bombings in London and Glasgow continued across three continents.
