Alasdair Palmer: The anti-terror Bill

Sir John Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police chief, has warned that as many as 200 al-Qa'eda terrorists are at large in Britain.

He said that it was "vital" that the Government's anti-terror legislation, which includes controversial 'control orders' allowing suspects to be held under home arrest, is approved by Parliament.

Writing in the News of the World, Sir John said: "As you read this, there are at least 100 Osama bin Laden-trained terrorists walking Britain's streets. The number is probably nearer 200 ... the cunning of al-Qa'eda means we can't be exact.

"But they would all commit devastating terror attacks against us if they could, even those born and brought up here."
