Terror suspect DNA 'held for life'
Updated on 11 November 2009
Terror suspects who are released without charge could face having their DNA profiles stored for life.
Proposals announced by the Home Office could see the information on anyone arrested for terrorist offences but either not charged or acquitted kept indefinitely on the national database.
Under the plans, senior police officers would review each case every two years on national security grounds to see if holding on to the genetic profile of each individual was warranted.
