MI5 agents have identified FOUR London Met officers after searching for a cell of fanatics passing Scotland Yard's secrets. The spooks homed in on the officers in the past few weeks after working with anti-terror police to uncover "sleeper" agents in London's Met.

The News of the World has obtained the names of two of the men pinpointed during a painstaking Spooks-style undercover operation. All four are Asians living in the capital and are feared to have links both with Islamic extremists in England and worldwide terror groups—including al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The officers' names emerged during a low-profile investigation into police force infiltration which has been going on since the July 2005 London bombings. Last year MI5 believed there were up to eight Asian police staff—uniform and civilian— with links to extremist groups.
