From the BBC:
Former Metropolitan Police chief Sir John Stevens says up to 200 Al-Qaeda terrorists are operating in Britain and the threat of attacks is real.
He urged the government to press ahead with its controversial anti-terror legislation as quickly as possible.
Sir John, writing in the News of the World, said militants trained by Osama bin Laden "fester" across the country.
But the Liberal Democrats accused him of sending "mixed messages" adding to an already "complicated situation".
