24 New Terror Plots Probed (Birmingham plot in 2000 w cyanide revealed)
UK Mirror ^ | Aug. 14, 2006 | Jeff Edwards And Rosa Prince

MUSLIM terrorists are plotting a further 24 bombing outrages in the UK, Home Secretary John Reid confirmed yesterday.

And he warned: "There may be more that we don't know about at all."

He added that since the 7/7 attacks "four major plots have been thwarted".

But he denied involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan had made Britain a target.

He said: "We now think the first al-Qaeda plot preceded our intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan and actually preceded 9/11.

"It was in Birmingham back in 2000." Police said terror cells are stockpiling a range of weapons, including bombs which spray cyanide gas over their victims.

Security sources last night said the UK remained on "critical" alert amid fears other terror groups could bring plots forward.

People just have to understand that they just want to kill us all and no appeasement works.

Sounds like someone is working very hard to get all Moslems expelled from the West.

In theory at least, you could resolve the problem by banning the practice of I-slam in western countries and heaving the slammites.

FLASHBACK:

23 July 2006
EXCLUSIVE: CYANIDE BOMB 'IN LONDON'

ANTI-TERROR cops are still searching for a cyanide bomb almost two months after the bungled Forest Gate raid.

They believe the deadly device is still in London and fear that it could be used at any time.

"spray cyanide gas over their victims"

What ever happened to total war where we use our military to destroy whole cities until the enemy gives up?

Appeasement doesn't work....I agree.The potential for terror attacks is just as great in the US as in GB.I think we have been lucky.

Obviously we're not working hard enough to understand why they're upset at us. Can it really be all Bush's fault?

Remove all Muslims from British territory, and terror plots will go down to ZERO.

Allow Muslims to remain in Britain, and expect more and more terror plots, one of which will eventually succeed, bringing untold mayhem to the British people.

It's as simple as that.

OPINION: Kind of a bigger version of the perfume spray bottle option going around.

THANKS for pointing that out FairOpinion.

Sounds like a good way to start!
