Control orders were imposed after Britain's courts outlawed the jailing of suspects without trial in 2004. Those detained under the program included suspects tied to a 2006 plot to down trans-Atlantic airliners with liquid explosives, an alleged senior al-Qaida fixer, and a man who repeatedly declared his desire to carry out a suicide attack. "The majority of control orders were imposed on the basis of the home secretary's suspicion that the subject was a hardened terrorist, actively involved in terrorist plots in the U,toms shoes online.K. or abroad," Anderson said in his report. However,toms shoes coupon, he acknowledged that "a smaller number, particularly in the early years, were imposed chiefly on suspicion of the subject wishing to travel abroad for terrorist purposes." Anderson said the control order program had been successful in protecting the public from a small number of suspects who authorities had been unable to prosecute most commonly over the government's reluctance to disclose sources of intelligence but that there had been "something unsettling" about the system. Critics have long complained that control orders and other tough anti-terrorism measures alienated British Muslims, hampering law enforcement efforts to win their support and gather intelligence on extremists. Anderson confirmed that nine British suspects who were being held under a control order when the system was axed at the end of 2011 had been placed under a new, less stringent monitoring program. Under the new system, known as terrorism prevention and investigation measures, suspects can be required to wear an electronic tag and stay at a specific address overnight for about eight to 10 hours. They can be banned from visiting specific buildings or people, and have only a limited ability to visit websites from any home computer. However, the new measures are limited to a maximum of two years, suspects cannot be sent to other areas of the country and a higher burden of evidence is required before they can be imposed. Anderson acknowledged that the new system could not offer the same protections as its predecessor and raised concern that some determined terrorists would put up with restrictions for two years before seeking to resume their activities. He said the change "was a political decision, taken on civil liberties rather than national security grounds." Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
