The police are considering a proposal to let selected British Muslims examine the intelligence used to mount anti-terrorism raids before they take place, the Guardian has learned.

The proposal will be considered as part of a review of the raid in Forest Gate, east London, a fortnight ago when 250 officers stormed a family house searching for a chemical weapon which was not found. One man was shot and police have apologised for the "hurt" caused by the raid which has further damaged strained relations with the local community. The review began this week and is expected to be completed before the end of the month.

While such a review after a controversial incident is standard, this one is unique because British Muslims are involved from the start.

"Selected" British Muslims... They aren't all connected to terrorism. It seems like it's procedure- it is procedure here in Canada to allow a tight-knit group's leaders to know the when/what/where/why and how of raids or investigations before they even begin.

Yeah, I've seen this done before. Apparently, it is to lessen the impacts and consequences that a raid may have as the priveleged people who are warned will calm the populace and generally ease the situation.
