US concerns that the UK was struggling to cope with home-grown extremism have been revealed in new Wikileaks cables.
One cable said the British government made “little progress” in engaging with the UK’s Muslim community after the 7 July 2005 terror attacks in London.
The communication was delivered to Washington from the American embassy in London in August 2006. The cable said tensions continued, with some British Muslims blaming UK foreign policy for inciting extremism.
