Tony Blair was warned of 'appalling' attack on UK after 9/11, government documents reveal
However, the papers reveal Mr Blair had earlier been given a stark warning about the terrorist threat to the UK.
It seemed "well nigh certain" that terrorist organisations would obtain a portable "dirty" nuclear device, he wrote, "if they have not done so already". Sir John said there must be far closer surveillance and easier detention of suspect terrorists in the UK, and the government should have powers to determine security measures for building in private as well as public ownership.
Behind the scenes the government did take action. Many of the points raised by Sir John were addressed, though it's unclear if his particular intervention made an impact.
