UK children, age 15, 'being groomed for terror plots'
GERRI PEEV POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
CHILDREN as young as 15 are being recruited for terrorist-related activity by al-Qaeda, the head of MI5 said yesterday - and he warned there are at least 2,000 in the UK who pose a threat to national security.
In his first public speech Jonathan Evans, the agency's director-general, said teenagers were being "methodically targeted" and recruited through the internet.

And he claimed resources which should be devoted to counter terrorism were being diverted to protect the UK against spying by Russia, China and others nations.
"As I speak, terrorists are methodically and intentionally targeting young people and children in this country," the Islamic extremism expert told the Society of Editors' conference in Manchester.
"They are radicalising, indoctrinating and grooming young, vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism," said Mr Evans, who took over as the director-general of MI5 in April.
His remarks came on the eve of the Queen's Speech in which ministers are expected to outline contentious plans to increase the length of time a suspect can be held without trial beyond the present 28 days.
Although Mr Evans side-stepped the impending political row, he laid bare the extent of the terror threat facing the UK. And he endorsed Gordon Brown's assessment that Britain was facing a "generation-long challenge" to defeat extremism.
He revealed there are at least 2,000 individuals who posed a "direct threat" to national security and public safety because of their support for terrorism. This is 400 more than revealed by his predecessor, Dame Manningham-Buller, a year ago.
The agency suspects there could be another 2,000 who they are unaware of, he added.
Mr Evans said he did not think the level of terror threat against the UK had "reached its peak" and warned recent attacks were not simply "random plots by disparate and fragmented groups".
He said: "The majority of these attacks, successful or otherwise, have taken place because al-Qaeda has a clear determination to mount terrorist attacks against the United Kingdom. This remains the case today, and there is no sign of it reducing."
Other countries such as Somalia were also being drawn into terror plots

That innocent looking youth in the picture by the way folks, is Adel Yahya the lad accused of planning the 27/7 attacks in London. As my Brit friends would say: "A bit scary, what?"
