Britain Warned U.S. Gov About

between all national agencies, while assigning more sensitive information to
higher tiers, only accessible by certain officials. Local and state
police should be piped into the same system as well.

with known extremists that was shared with American intelligence in
2008, a spokesman for the Prime Minister said.
Abdulmultallab was listed as having tried
to contact radical Islamists while studying in London but was not
singled out as a particular risk because he was 'not radicalised until
he left the UK in October 2008', the spokesman added...
