Up to 12 members of Al Qaeda were sent to work in the NHS, security sources said today. Eight people have so far been arrested in the hunt for the car bombers who tried to cause carnage in London and Glasgow. Six of them are NHS doctors.The scale of the infiltration by the terror network has led police to believe several members of the gang are still at large and the threat of an atrocity remains high. According to reports, US law enforcement officials received intelligence two weeks ago which warned of a possible terror attack in Glasgow against "airport infrastructure or aircraft". An unnamed senior official told ABC News the intelligence led to the assignment of Federal Air Marshals to flights into and out of both Glasgow and Prague in the Czech Republic. US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff declined to comment on the report, but told ABC News that "everything that we get is shared virtually instantaneously with our counterparts in Britain and vice versa".
A 27-year-old doctor has been arrested in Australia, while a second doctor is also being interviewed by Australian police.
