Jane’s warns of new terror group more radical than Al-Qaeda
http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=63908

LONDON, FEBRUARY 1: A terrorist organization considered more radical than Osama bin Laden’s Al- Qaeda has taken root in Britain because of ‘‘lax’’ asylum procedures, security experts have claimed.

The movement, Al-Takfir Wa Al-Hijra (Excommunication and exile), has gradually built its presence in Europe in recent years through loose networks of imams and supporters, according to Jane’s Intelligence Review. ‘‘It is so extreme that it once tried to assassinate bin Laden and its members are thought to have aided last year’s Madrid train atrocity,’’ the report said.

According to Jane’s, western security agencies now respond more actively to the threat posed by Takfiri adherents, fearing that it may become an active terror group in Europe itself. Al-Takfir originated as a peaceful Islamic movement in Egypt in the early 1970s but turned to violence and was implicated in killing two government ministers.
