8/3/2008: Intel News Brief: Aircraft Fly in Briton to uncover British-
Afghan Fighters:

MI5 is using a fleet of sophisticated surveillance aircraft to search
for unidentified Britons who fought alongside the Taliban in
Afghanistan.

The manhunt has been ordered because it is feared the committed and
highly trained fighters may have returned home to plot terror attacks
in the UK.

Planes with eavesdropping equipment are now flying over British cities
searching for returning Afghan fighters.

They are attempting to identify suspects using ‘voice prints’ of
fighters with British accents picked up by RAF Nimrod spy planes
monitoring Taliban battlefield radio signals.

The revelation comes after the former SAS commander in Afghanistan
yesterday confirmed that British Muslim extremists were actively
supporting Taliban and Al Qaeda attacks on British troops.

He said there was also evidence that these people were then returning
home to plot further attacks in the UK.
