The Age – Jul 14, 2005
British intelligence was already alert to the possibility aftermonitoring British Muslims radicalised by Afghanistan, Bosnia,Chechnya, Israel-Palestine and Iraq. London’s then metropolitanpolice commissioner, Sir John Stevens, received a report that sameyear from British intelligence indicating that al-Qaeda hadre-formed in Britain and was capable of mounting a suicideattack. Now Lord Stevens, and retired, he wrote last weekend that hebelieved that up to 3000 British-born or British-based people hadpassed through Osama bin Laden’s training camps in Afghanistan and,of these, there were now about 200 committed “home-grownterrorists”.
Tagging Automatic for Lleyn flock on Yorkshire Estate

The 2,600 acre Denton Park Estate has been owned since 1976 by the NG Bailey Organisation, a private company whose business is based on engineering, electronics and telecommunications. The farming enterprise now concentrates on beef and sheep with the dairy herd being sold three years ago. Both farm-assured cattle and sheep are fed off a principally home-grown ration from the farm’s grassland acreage and during the winter on a complete diet feed incorporating home-grown wholecrop wheat and this year a mix of lupins and triticale. George Bush joined the farming operation in 1986, taking over as farm manager in 1988 and 14 years ago the Lleyn was first introduced to the predominantly in-hand farming operation’s – 130 acres is a tenanted farm and there are 360 acres of woodland- which skirts the southern boundary of Ilkley Moor, rising to 1,200 feet above sea level. “We have been tagging all our sheep for more than 10 years and we have the UK flock number, the pedigree flock number and an individual number for the ewe so that we can identify the pedigree of the lamb,” said George Bush “All this information is very important to us as pedigree breeders but the problem we were finding with some other tags was that the printing was not staying on the tags. “We started using the Adamatic automatic tagging system three years ago and it is marvellous – all the printing stays on the tag and Roxan ID will print any information you require on the tag. Roxan has worked on perfecting both the tags and the gun,” he added.

If it isn’t, if it’s the start of something bigger, then I think there are very serious problems ahead. ROBERTSON (voice-over): Tanweer, and the other suspected bombers, Hasib Hussain and Mohammad Sediq Khan, are confounding not just their families and neighbors, British intelligence experts who apparently never saw the attack coming. (on camera): They were, as the British call them, home grown suspected terrorists. So-called clean skins with no radical track record. They avoided detection by blending in with the community. (voice-over): The three men used to meet here at their local mosque in Leeds northern England. ROGERS: If within that you have just isolated people, it’s extremely difficult, even for the community itself, let alone the intelligence people, to get a handle on it.
