Terror Suspect Watched 'To Stop Escape Abroad'

Sky News - ‎04‎ ‎November‎ ‎2013
Home Secretary Theresa May revealed the reason why Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed was placed on a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure (Tpim) - restricting his movements - during questioning at the House of Commons.
Sky sources said the 27-year-old has connections with the Somalian terror group, al Shabaab, which was behind the attack on Westgate Mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on September 21 that killed at least 67 people.
Mohamed entered the An-Noor Masjid and Community Centre in Church Road, Acton, at 10am on Friday, wearing Western-style clothes.

But CCTV images issued by Scotland Yard later showed him leaving with his face and body fully covered by the traditional Islamic garment.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Mrs May had made it easier for terror suspects to escape by getting rid of relocation orders and irresponsibly weakening controls on them.
She said a replacement of control orders with Tpim notices, early last year, brought Mohamed and another terror suspect Ibrahim Magag back to London from areas outside the capital to where they had been relocated.
Magag disappearance in a black cab in December after ripping off his electronic tag.
Ms Cooper said: "Her (Mrs May) policies brought these two terror suspects back into contact with their old networks, with people who could help them disappear and made it easier for these terror suspects to run off."
She went on: "She (Mrs May) was warned about changing the law, she was warned about weakening controls, she was warned more people would abscond - and they have, twice - and still she won't act."
But the Home Secretary insisted that Mohamed does not pose a direct threat to the British public even though he is understood to have fought overseas for al Shabaab.
It is also understood that he took part in terrorist training in 2008 and is believed to have helped various individuals travel from the UK to Somalia to allow them to engage in terrorism-related activity.
Mohamed is also suspected of helping to plan attacks in Somalia and overseas, including an attack intended for the Juba Hotel in Mogadishu in August 2010.
Magag, a 28-year-old Somali, has not been seen since Boxing Day last year.
He is thought to be a member of a UK-based group of extremists who support al Shabaab.
Magag was made the subject of a stringent control order in 2009 but the restrictions expired when control orders were replaced by Tpims last year.
Both men were members of a UK-based network for terrorism-related activity in Somalia, court documents have revealed.
Tpims, which include restrictions on overnight residence, travel and finance, are imposed by the Home Secretary, who is given access to secret evidence that can not be placed before juries.
They do not allow for the relocation of suspects, as control orders did and unlike control orders, Tpims have a maximum time limit of two years.
Control orders could be extended year on year without limit, while Tpims can be extended after a year for another 12 months before they expire.
As of August 31, there were nine Tpims in force, including eight against British suspects, the latest written update to MPs showed.
The terrorism watchdog warned earlier this year that Tpims could allow those deemed potentially dangerous to be left "free and unconstrained" in the absence of prosecution or new evidence of terrorism-related activity.
