The Mail report the shocking news that:

"A nuclear scientist arrested by armed police is said to have admitted plotting an Al Qaeda terrorist atrocity, possibly in Britain.

Dr Adlene Hicheur, 32, has confessed to talking over the internet with the North African branch of the terror organisation about attacks on 'Western targets', according to officials in France where he was held last week.

Hicheur, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, worked for the CERN nuclear research laboratory near Geneva and had also worked at the top secret Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in England."

Meanwhile The Sun reports that:

"SKINT defence chiefs plan to axe 900 cops who safeguard top secret bases in a drastic bid to save money.

The move to slash the size of the Ministry of Defence Police force, which is responsible for securing nuclear sites, has prompted serious security fears.

Last night a defence source blasted the proposal - discovered by The Sun - as "suicide".

"These guys guard nuke depots and weapons silos round the clock as well as intelligence units, docks and training facilities - every sensitive military building in Britain."
