A BANNED Scottish terrorist organisation has threatened to poison the public water supply in England, endangering hundreds of thousands of lives.

The Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA), dedicated to establishing an independent Scottish republic, sent the warning to the offices of The Sunday Times in Glasgow.

Strathclyde police are examing the e-mail, believed to come from a CANADIAN server, which states: “Our aim is to poison water supplies in England, not in the entire UK. We have the means to do this and we shall. This is a war and we intend to win it.”

The Scottish Separatist Group (SSG) was formed in 1995 by former members and supporters of the SNLA, which is proscribed as a terrorist group. Both groups want to reverse English immigration into Scotland (even though there are around 1 million Scots living in England) and restore Gaelic as the country’s national language.

The SNLA is responsible for previous terror attacks, including a letter bomb campaign in the 1990s.

The Home Office confirmed it was scrutinizing the SNLA publication under the 2006 Terrorism Act. Strathclyde police said the SNLA was being investigated.
