Mr. Straw

I have seen the recent report about alleged terrorist training of United Kingdom nationals overseas. The investigation of any illegal criminal activity is, of course, a matter for the police. I understand that they are aware of these latest allegations and are looking into them. The police meet with their United States counterparts on a regular basis to discuss matters relating to terrorism.
