| February 21, 2010 | Terrorists 'cleaning' passports to avoid detection at airports | | London: A secret British Home Office document has revealed that terrorists are 'cleaning' their passports to arouse less suspicion at airports. After making trips to places like training camps in Afghanistan or
Pakistan, many plotters apply for a new British passport. A new passport will
have no trace of previous visits, News of the World reports. They say their old
one with visa stamps recording the dodgy visit has been lost. And the new "clean"
passport contains no record of the trip. The method, used by terrorists who plotted
to blow up jets flying from London in 2006, is described as a key enabler in
committing
an act of terror. The report recommends security services monitor anyone who
keeps
updating their passport. Yesterday Tory MP Patrick Mercer slammed the Home
Office's
Immigration and Nationality Directorate for not anticipating the scam earlier. | |
