Al-Qaeda prisoners in UK jails are being hardened instead of reformed, top Whitehall sources have told the BBC.
A major programme of radicalisation is underway in prisons, targeting vulnerable young men and preaching violent jihad, it has been claimed.
The BBC’s Frank Gardner said sources claim Islamist convicts are undergoing the same process IRA members did at the Maze prison in Northern Ireland.
