Britain Plans Tougher Anti-terrorism Laws

Britain is planning to get tough new anti-terrorism laws. They feel the police need greater powers to hold and question terror suspects in increasingly complex and global plots. Prime Minister Brown was in office two days when a failed terror attack against London happened. Since September 11, 2001, there have been 15 failed terror attempted attacks in Britain. Brown said fighting al-Qaida inspired terrorism would last a generation. He said one option under consideration was extending the time that police can question terror suspects. Currently, suspects need to be charged or released within 28 days.
