Britain’s most dangerous al-Qaeda extremists are being moved to a special terror wing to boost security.
The move follows a rise in violence involving Islamic extremists behind bars.

Some convicts in Belmarsh, South East London, have been moved to the section.

It is designed to reduce attacks on terrorists by other inmates and cut the spiralling cost of securing their safety.
Up to 20 convicted extremists and terror suspects will be held on the wing at first but that could rise to 40.
A prison service source said last night: “This will no doubt be compared to Guantanamo Bay. But such is the rapid growth of extremist Muslim terrorists in our prisons, that something must be done quickly.”
