Why would any southwest Asian members of Scotland Yard want to spy for Al Qaeda?

All four are understood to be Asians living in London and are feared to have links both with Islamic extremists in Britain and worldwide terror groups – including al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

MI5 chiefs reportedly believe the suspected moles have been planted as sleepers – agents under deep cover – to keep al-Qaeda informed of anti-terror raids planned by London’s Metropolitan Police.

They were probably all hired after 9/11 just to show the world that Scotland Yard was open-minded.
