FEARS Eamon Keating TORY cuts on military security have left our key bases open to terror attacks, it was warned.

MoD Police protect 35 sensitive sites – including Faslane on the Clyde, the home of Trident nukes.

But numbers are down to 2,300 and Defence Police Federation chair Eamon Keating said: “Sites are now below the minimum-level security needed to protect them from a terror attack.”

He has urged the Defence Secretary to rethink feared cuts of up to £15million.

An MoD spokesman said: “The MoD Police has enough people to meet its commitment to protecting key sites.” EXPOSED Army ‘is lacking equipment’
