In Hunt for Bomb Plotters, Britain Sees a Qaeda Link

With their investigation moving at breakneck speed, the police expanded their hunt on Sunday for the plotters of attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow that the British government called the work of terrorists linked to Al Qaeda. Officers raided homes in three cities and arrested another suspect, bringing the total to five, including at least one identified as a medical doctor...

None of the five suspects are British citizens, a senior Western official said.


A gas canister was removed Sunday from a vehicle that burned Saturday after crashing at Glasgow Airport.

In another British newspaper, I read that all the suspects were "muslim extremist."

Sidebar: Rosie O'Donnell and many other Hollyflakes are still hanging on to the notion that there are no terrorists...

The NYT will either do their damndest to disprove this link, or use it as an opportunity to bash the US for “taking the eye off the ball in Afghanistan” or something equally beside the point.

"British intelligence agencies had warned the government last April that terrorist attacks might be initiated by Iranian Kurds to coincide with the end of Prime Minister Tony Blair’s term of office, according to a person who saw the warning. Mr. Blair handed power to Gordon Brown last Wednesday."

Hey, it's just the poor, oppressed Muslims coming to do the work the Brits won't.

I knew it was al qaeda and it’s loose band of evil... Never a doubt in my mind. PC needs to be destroyed before it destroys us all!
