'Growing threat'
Ms Smith said: "We now face a threat level that is severe. It's not getting any less, it's actually growing.
"There are 2,000 individuals they are monitoring. There are 200 networks. There are 30 active plots.
"That has increased over the past two years. Since the beginning of 2007, 57 people have been convicted on terrorist plots.
"Nearly half of those pleaded guilty so this is not some figment of the imagination. It is a real risk and a real issue we need to respond to.
"We can't wait for an attack to succeed and then rush in new powers. We've got to stay ahead."

As far as I am aware, anarchists, anti-war demonstrators, smoking ban campaigners, economy campaigners and civil rights demonstrators.
I expect there will be much more groups.
All terrorists?
