Britain may let terror suspects turn ‘supergrass’

THE British Government is considering allowing terror suspects to turn “supergrass”, it emerged yesterday.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke disclosed in a letter to his opposition counterparts that work was under way to set up “intelligence interviews” between terror suspects and investigators from the police and security services.

In a draft Terrorism Bill he also unveiled plans for new laws to crack down on extremist Islamic bookshops by creating the offence of “dissemination of terrorist publications” plus a proposed offence of glorifying terrorism, carrying up to five years in jail.
