|
British counterprospecting service MI-5 quickly grows. In some months it(she) will be twice more in comparison with what it(she) was on September, 11th, 2001.
Besides its(her) some divisions will be outside London.
It is expected, that by 2011 the number of employees МИ-5 will reach(achieve) 4 thousand person, the quarter from which will work in various regions of Britain. Besides eight regional centers, and also the new center of confidential operations will be opened(open).
One of prominent aspects of this expansion is closer cooperation with local police administrations.
The police administration of Manchester was the first where the division on struggle against terrorism which now works in close interaction with МИ-5 has been created.
" Already there are no distinctions between policemen and spies ", - the chief of police administration of Manchester Mike Todd speaks.
The purposes and means
According to Todd, the British police and МИ-5 weekly spend meetings on coordination of the operations, thus in objects of these operations of lack is not present.
In antiterrorist management of police of Manchester analysts, employees of service of external supervision and the officers specializing on struggle against terrorism work. They cooperate with representatives of local communities and policemen on a lot of questions, for example, concerning, concerning to investigation of how terrorist activity is financed.
Employees of this management work on own navodkam, and also on navodkam which they receive from МИ-5 and others razvedsluzhb.
Police and МИ-5 closely cooperate within the limits of the project under name Rich Picture, which purpose - revealing of attributes of suspicious activity in local communities at an early stage.
There are many reasons for such close cooperation, but one of the most important - events on July, 7th, 2005.
In 2004 during operative development of group of persons(faces) in a southeast of England Mohammed Siddik Khan who subsequently has headed the group which has carried out explosions on July, 7th, 2005 has been photographed and established(installed) on a residence. But per 2004 investigation of its(his) activity was not spent further.
As approves(confirms) МИ-5, at that time there were no instructions(indications) that in the future it(he) will carry out the similar action(share). However there is a question, is how much close in this business cooperated МИ-5 and police Western Jorkshira and whether the police has been informed on Khan and its(his) communications(connections).
МИ-5 And police do not want, that the history with Mohammed Siddikom Khanom has repeated
|
As new details of this history became known, the committee on investigation and safety of the British parliament spends repeated investigation which results will be soon published.
" We know, that МИ-5 has informed police administration Western Jorkshira, - chairman of committee speaks Murphy's Floor. - now the committee in detail studies(investigates), as it occured(happened) ".
The senior officers of police speak, that one of the lessons taken from this episode, is not only importance of close interaction between police and МИ-5, but also necessity of expansion of opportunities of police on struggle against terrorism in parallel with increase of overall performance МИ-5. Otherwise there is a danger of that at police will collect navodki МИ-5 with which it(she) cannot consult.
As one of the officers, engaged struggle against terrorism has told, everyone are afraid " new MSKH " - of Mohammed Siddika Khana.
" Our most awful nightmare is a prospecting information which acts and is lost in system, and then, after realization of the action(share), we understand, that we had data about it(her), but they simply have not been processed ", - this officer has told.
Confidential object
Alongside with regional divisions MI-5 creates the operational center outside London.
Regional divisions will concentrate the efforts to investigations, and the operational center will be responsible for work of groups of external supervision and other officers on all country which quickly will go there where they are necessary. The exact location of the operational center keeps a secret.
However, according to those who directly is engaged in this work, even at this expansion МИ-5 and translation(transfer) of its(her) divisions in regions, all the same it is necessary to make a difficult choice between various objects of development and to define(determine) priorities.
" In struggle against such large-scale and serious threat you never will have enough means, - Peter Clark who heads antiterrorist management of the London police approves(confirms) and is the national coordinator of investigations of terrorist activity. - we make a choice, knowing, that always there is a risk of that this choice - incorrect ".
