comprehensive approach to tackling the th real of terrorism by any government in the world.
.Writing in The Observe^ Brown said: "We know that there is an al-Qaeda core in northern Pakistan trying to organise attacks in Britain. We know also that there are a number of networks here.
"al-Qaeda terrorists remain intent on inflicting mass casualties without warning, including through suicide bombings. They are motivated by a violent extremist ideology based on a false reading of religion and exploit modern travel and communications to spread through loose and dangerous global networks".
The new counter-terrorism strategy takes into account recent attacks on hotels in Mumbai. It will reflect intelligence agencies' opinions that the biggest threat to the UK comes from groups aligned or inspired by al-Qaeda.
A spokesman said the strategy will update the Contest strategy developed by the Home Office in 2003, which was later detailed in the Countering International Terrorism document released in 2006.
United Kingdom's new anti-terror strategy, which will be unveiled by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith next week, is claimed to be the most comprehensive counterterrorism approach issued by any government in the world.

Experts have spent a year preparing the document, known as Contest Two, to take into account lessons learnt from recent Mumbai terror attacks.
The new paper, to be published on TUesday, will update the Contest strategy developed by the Home Office in 2003 and detailed in the Countering International Terrorism document in 2006.
Earlier, UK's anti-terror strategy has been based o four Ps— Prevent, Pursue, Protect and Prepare, which ensured that the country was ready for the consequences of any attack.
The Home Office spokesman said the new paper would take account of the way the terror threat has evolved and how the authorities are learninglessons from events.
Since 2007, the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has termed the terrorism threat level as "severe", which means that future terrorist attacks are highly likely butnotthoughtto be imminent.
By 2011, Britain will be spending 3.5 billion pounds a year on counter-terrorism.
Between 2001 and 2008, almost 200 people have been convicted of terror-related offences.
