Brig. Ed Butler, who spent six months commanding British forces in Afghanistan, also revealed fears that militant Islamic groups in south-east Asia are supporting terrorist plots in the UK.

The brigadier, a former head of the SAS, spoke exclusively to the Daily Telegraph in the week when the British death toll in Afghanistan reached 114, with 17 fatalities in the last two months.

UK forces have uncovered evidence that British Muslims are actively supporting the Taliban and al-Qa'eda in attacks on coalition forces in southern Afghanistan, Brig Butler said.

My Comment: A very troubling news report. The immediate impression that one has when they you read a report like this, is that you know that it is only a matter of time before bombs go off in England. The sad part of this entire affair is that British Intelligence probably knows who is involved, but due to legal constraints in the U.K. cannot deport or arrest these suspects.

It will probably take a massive catastrophe for the British to start changing their minds.
