Report: Hordes of U.K. terror supporters

LONDON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A top British police official warns in a new documentary that supporters of terrorist plots in the United Kingdom could number into the thousands.
London Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clark said that while exact numbers were difficult to pin down, there was a broad base of support for terrorist attacks in Britain ranging from actual conspirators to those urging them on.

The Mirror quoted Clark as saying, "All I can say is that our knowledge is increasing and certainly, in terms of broad description, the numbers of people we have to be interested in are in the thousands."

The BBC2 documentary "Al Qaeda - Time to Talk" concludes that threats exist both within the homegrown British Muslim community and immigrants from other Muslim nations. It also contends that British Muslims have been joining terrorist groups in Iraq.

The program will air in Britain Sunday night.
