Fury as 'terror' brothers do runner.

MINISTERS were accused of putting lives at risk last night as three more terrorist suspects went on the run.
Two brothers of Bluewater bomb plotter Anthony Garcia were being hunted by police, along with a third man.
They had broken control orders placing them under a loose form of house arrest.
Shockingly, six men out of 17 on control orders because they are feared to present a threat are now known to be at large.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: “People are placed on control orders on the basis they are terror suspects who pose a serious risk to the public.

“It is shocking that these three have absconded.”

Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Nick Clegg added: “This is yet another hammer blow for the increasingly discredited system of control orders.”
Lamine and Ibrahim Adam, and Cerie Bullivant, are the three currently flouting Home Office anti-terror orders.
Garcia was jailed for life last month. He was convicted with terror leader Omar Khyam for targeting the shopping centre in Kent and the Ministry of Sound nightclub in South London.
At the Old Bailey trial, Lamine Adam was linked to the gang. He and the other two men were suspected of a terror plot.
But with no evidence to arrest or charge them, control orders were made placing them under curfew.
The brothers failed to check in with a monitoring company on Monday night. Bullivant did not report to police on Tuesday.
Home Secretary John Reid approved the unprecedented step of police naming and issuing photographs of Lamine, 26, Ibrahim, 20, and Bullivant, 24.
A security source said: “Close scrutiny has been kept on these three and the fact that they have vanished at the same time has caused intense concern.”
At the time of his brother’s trial, Lamine Adam was a driver on the London Tube’s Northern Line.
He and Khyam were secretly recorded by MI5 discussing his job.
In the tapes, played in court, Adam — who did not stand trial — was asked by Khyam: “Have you passed yet?” He replied: “Yeah.”
Khyam said: “Are you going to start driving now?” Adam said: “Tomorrow.”
Al-Qaeda supergrass Mohammed Babar revealed that another associate of the Khyam cell known only as “Uniboy” wanted to use Lamine Adam on missions.
Babar was asked during his evidence: “Uniboy wanted to do operations in the UK with Lamine?” He replied: “That is what Uniboy told me.” Babar also claimed Lamine was involved in sending cash to the gang, who were in Pakistan at training camps.
A security source said last night: “It is a matter of urgency that we find these three men quickly.”
Those subject to control orders have previously remained anonymous.

ANYONE with information on the three is urged to call the anti-terrorism hotline on 0800 789 321
