LOOSE: 16 British bombers

ANTI-TERROR cops are trying to track down 16 potential suicide bombers believed to be on the loose in Britain.
The men were part of a group of 24 British Muslims who went to an al-Qaeda training camp on the Pakistan and Afghanistan border before returning home.
Undercover investigative reporter Mazher Mahmood followed the terror trail to Pakistan.

Police fear they could be deployed by al-Qaeda bosses at any time and a team of six British counter-terrorism officers have flown to Pakistan, where they are working with local intelligence agencies.
Details of the men emerged during the interrogation of seven suspects— three of them British—arrested in Pakistan in connection with the foiled plot to allegedly blow up aircraft with liquid explosives.
A Pakistan intelligence officer said: "Of the 24 who trained at the al-Qaeda camp, 16 are missing. What is making it difficult to track them down is that they all used fake names while they were here.
"But we will do whatever we can to help find these men."
