CIA wary of British Pakistanis

[Naveed Yaseen]

LAHORE: Washington’s fears that future attacks on the US are likely to be carried out by Muslims from the UK could be boosting surveillance of British Pakistanis. According to Sky News, the CIA is working alongside British security services in an effort to quash what they see as the ‘greatest threat’ to homeland security. Former US FBI investigator Matthew Levitt told Sky, “There is a very acute threat, especially from the South Asian community ... (and) has direct ties back to South Asia – where the core of Al Qaeda is believed to be hiding. That of course presents a threat not only to our allies in Britain, but because of the visa waiver programme ... it presents a problem to the US as well.”
