Serial intruder exposes shoddy security {Story is from the British press} A SHOCKING breach of security at Portsmouth naval base was today exposed after the sentencing of a serial intruder. Despite being known to the authorities, Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou was able to simply stroll past guards responsible for protecting one of the biggest potential terrorist targets in Britain. Yessoufou, 37, of East Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, even managed to spend two hours wandering around the nuclear-powered American aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman, anchored in Stokes Bay. He has appeared before Uxbridge magistrates three times this year for entering restricted zones in Heathrow, and also reached the aircraft side at Southampton Airport in January. Portsmouth JPs imposed an anti-social behaviour order on him after he admitted entering a prohibited area. It bans him from entering restricted areas of Portsmouth naval base, Whale Island, the ferry port and Southampton Airport for the next two years. The court was told the only apparent explanation for Yessoufou's behaviour was 'to satisfy his curiosity'. A REVIEW of security has been carried out at Portsmouth Naval Base after a man stole on to the USS Harry S Truman. The man was found aboard the American nuclear aircraft carrier, anchored off Stokes Bay, Gosport. He had evaded security and boarded a liberty boat taking sailors back to the ship after liberty. He was discovered during routine checks. Royal Navy spokesman Anton Hanney said: 'We are taking it very seriously, as we would any security breach. Our main focus is to put everything right and to improve our arrangements.' It is thought the stowaway crept on to the vessel by blending in with a large group of US sailors returning from liberty. He entered the naval base through the city's Historic Dockyard. |
