"Thousands of people, including two men convicted over terror attacks,
obtained passports under false pretences, the Home Office has admitted.

It admitted 10,000 passports were wrongly given in the past year, but said
plans to interview applicants would combat such fraud.

One of the men was convicted of a bombing in Morocco, and the other of
planning a major attack in the UK.

The Conservatives called the admission "shocking"."
