Apparantly the attacks on 7/7, the foiled attack on 7/21, and the BIG ONE also planned for 7/28 (last Thursday--just coming to light today) in London were all ON THE DIRECT ORDERS OF OSAMA BIN LADIN. Breaking, (interview with Saudi Ambassador to UK, via Italian newspaper, 2:30 p.m. Eastern time):

Londra: ambasciatore saudita, "Bin Laden sempre attivo" LONDRA - Osama bin Laden e' ancora attivo e che gli ordini di sferrare gli attentati partono spesso da lui. Lo ha dichiarato in un'intervista alla Reuters l'ambasciatore saudita a Londra, Turki al-Faisal. Il diplomatico ha accusato Al Qaida di violare gli insegnamento dell'Islam ma ritiene che la guerra in Iraq e la questione palestinese facilitino il reclutamento di estremisti. (Agr)

HAMDI ISAAC, (alias OSMAN HUSSEIN) islamofascist bastard caught on the run in Roma, Italy. A friend of the Ethiopian is also caught in Brescia, northern Italy, north of Milano. Network coming unraveled in Europe:

Hussain told interrogators he was not carrying enough explosives even to "harm people nearby,"

Yeah right. Even if this were true, they wouldn't have detonated the bombs WHILE WEARING the backpacks, JUST IN CASE they hurt themselves in the process. And how does he explain the bombs laced with nails/bolts/spikes that was found in the trunk of the car? Yeah, those wouldn't have hurt anyone. Furthermore, how does he explain the look of confusion on the face of one guy when the detonator went off but the full bomb did not? Was the guy confused because it was too big or too small of an explosion? Or was he confused because he thought Paradise wouldn't look like the inside of a tube train? Or was he confused because he didn't see 72 virgins standing there waiting for him? etc.

Generally they had a lot harder time with the IRA. The provos weren't suicide bombers, they fully intended to stay alive and effective. Hence they didn't do stupid stuff like leaving clues with their names and addresses all over the shop.

What that meant was the IRA were *much* harder to catch than these clowns were. The difference between a top professional army and a third-world militia in terms of their tradecraft.

Our security people did catch quite a few active service units (ASUs) though, if you Google "Balcombe Street siege" you'll find an example. That was after a running gun battle that started with the ASU assassinating a popular media figure though, rather than any sort of detective work.

Usually the way ASU's were destroyed was more like what happened at Loughhall. Two ASU's were ambushed in the middle of trying to blow up a rural police station using a huge bomb in the bucket of a mechanical digger (I think you'd call it a "backhoe") by a whole lot of SAS hiding in the shrubbery nearby with mortars, sniper rifles, heavy machine guns and stuff like that. Not a good day for the boyos.

Those operations relied on informants in the IRA networks.

So far no Irish or Scotish dissidents have been arrested.:)

But England is an excellent example that when it's Irish or Scots that are acting out, that's who they go for.

I think it's pretty funny. The CJs misjudged the Brits. They thought since they're polite and don't carry they're pu$$ies. Even though they Bobbies don't carry, the guns ain't far away.

As soon as MI-5 got the green light they knew exactly where to go.

Police arrested six people Sunday in the failed July 21 London transit bombings and were reportedly investigating the attackers' ties to Saudi Arabia and Italy

Ah, yes. Our 'ally' and 'friend' the Saudi family.

They hold our hand as the twist the knife.

We need to be looking for terrorists, not randomly searching handbags. We need to be looking, looking, looking. I thought that's what cops did. There are "tells" that a person who's carrying gives.

I saw an interview a security guy gave where he said they sent 15 people into a football game where they were checking bags, carrying weapons, and then told trained security forces to find them. You know what happened? They found 18. They found the 15 plus three off-duty cops who had their service weapons.

They could do it smart if the politicians would get their noses out of it. How can we cut the politicians off at the knees? They are not bright and they have way too much power. As if that's news to anyone. But that Bloomberg character has to go. He's a nightmare.

Oh, do you imply that these bomber terrorists had direct connection to the Saudis and possible terrorist training camps there? Gosh, who knew? Hard to believe, given that most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis (a mere coincidence).

Now, guess who is the new Saudi ambassador to the US? Why, it's amazing that he is none other than Price Turki, the former head of Saudi intelligence. This is the guy who had direct connections and money exchanges with old Osama himself way back in Afganistan. Oh but, wait! The guy he is replacing actually got caught (his wife, that is... he was oblivious, of course) donating major funds to Al Queda. Are we to believe that the Saudis are really our buddies? Are we insane? No, we are addicted to Saudi oil and our SUV's need daily fixes.

The street and transport cameras did their job and the cops followed the bomb crumbs they dropped. We need similar cameras to help catch perps.

You nailed it.

When the bobbies, MI5 and the SAS loaners got the green light, they moved quickly and still are moving quickly.

Las Malvinas (a per the Argies) would be great for a Brit hideaway for the perps. The weather there is well beyond atrocious. It would not be a tropical Gitmo.

Fox saying, a little bit ago, yet another person arrested in northern London area, bringing to 8 arrested so far today. I don't think this 8th person is of Scotch/Irish descent, or blond-haired/blue-eyed, either. : )
