The Scotland Yard has kick started a new counter-terrorism strategy in cities with large immigrants from South Asia, amid fears that terrorist organisations are seeking new recruits in Britain. The Metropolitan Police has started the 'Prevent Engagement programme' in Hounslow borough, where nearly 30 per cent of the population is either Sikh, Muslim or Hindu, as the police believe that terrorist organisations have attempted to recruit in the area. The scheme is part of a Scotland Yard trial which began running in four London boroughs in June 2007, but is now being rolled out across Hounslow, which is the epitome of modern British multiculturalism. The scheme involves officers whose sole remit is to develop and maintain links with the ethnic communities in their area through organisations such as faith centers, schools and youth clubs. The aim is to use the community to help alert police to potential terrorists.
