THREE fugitive terror suspects who made a mockeryt of the Home Office’s control orders were last night feared to be on their way to Iraq.

THREE fugitive terror suspects who made a mockery of the Home Office’s control orders were last night feared to be on their way to Iraq — to wage war on British troops.

Algerian brothers Lamine and Ibrahim Adam are suspected by the Home Office of using false passports to sneak out of the country with pal Cerie Bullivant.

Last night pressure mounted on PM-in-waiting Gordon Brown to tear up the Human Rights Act — blamed for the farce of control orders being so lame.
Uproar over how easily the suspects scarpered intensified as it emerged three MORE have also fled the country.

The only safeguard on one of THEM was that he had to ring a voice-recognition computer once a day.

Met Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair confirmed the Human Rights Act was to blame for tying his officers’ hands.

He said: “We enforce the law as it is and we will now do our best to find these people. But the police service would always be interested in a better system than one that is as imperfect as this.”

Control orders were introduced as a fudge to counter human rights objections to locking up terror suspects without trial.

Lamine Adam, 26, and his brother Ibrahim, 20, failed to ring in with a private monitoring firm on Monday night from their home in Barkingside, East London.

Last month a third brother Anthony Garcia, 25, was jailed for life over a plot to bomb Bluewater shopping centre in Kent and London’s Ministry of Sound nightclub.
On Tuesday British Muslim convert Bullivant, 20, failed to turn up to his local police station in Essex. He vanished days after getting a £1,500 NHS university grant to study mental health.

Fugitives ... (l-r) Lamine Adam, Ibrahim Adam and Cerie Bullivant

Bullivant had been on the course since March at London South Bank University’s Essex campus in Havering.

A fellow student said: “Everyone is saying he was only on the course to get his hands on the money so he could fund his escape. He got the cheque a few days before he vanished.

“We had no idea he was on a control order or was clearly planning to disappear.”

Last Friday Bullivant — whose mum Christine is a mental health consultant — surprised others at the university by turning up with his long shaggy hair and beard shaved off.

A neighbour of his mum in Goodmayes, Essex, said: “The son is a bit of a loner.”

Shake-up ... John Reid

Bullivant and the Adam brothers are known to have voiced a desire to join the bloody uprising in Iraq which has claimed the lives of 149 UK troops.

A Whitehall security source confirmed last night: “It is feared they want to get into Iraq.

“But UK soldiers are of course also deployed in Afghanistan. It is possible these individuals may already be overseas.”

Lord Carlile — Britain’s independent reviewer of terrorism laws — confirmed “solid intelligence” indicated the three had long planned to target Our Boys.

He said: “They intended to damage our national security by going as insurgents to kill British and other allied troops abroad.”

Home Secretary John Reid yesterday denied the three were a threat to the British public — although Met chief Sir Ian admitted they may be a risk if still here.

Dr Reid declared the Government will consider dumping human rights legislation to keep terror suspects on a tighter leash.

He said ministers might suspend parts of the European Convention on Human Rights so tougher control orders can be imposed.

Only 17 people have been subject to the curfews since 2005.

PM Tony Blair told MPs control orders were “very much a second-best option” for protecting the public.

Tory leader David Cameron vowed to rip up the Human Rights Act if he comes to power.

Yesterday cops refused to name or release photos of the three other suspects on the run — to protect their HUMAN RIGHTS. Two are from London and one from Manchester.

Mr Cameron said: “It is crazy the rights of criminals are put above the safety of law-abiding citizens.”


A TERROR suspect on the run for a week after breaking his Home Office curfew appeared in his school yearbook as the kid most likely to be . . . a TERRORIST.
