Four terror suspects have been arrested in dawn swoops in London.

Six homes and three business addresses were raided by anti-terrorist police in south-west London.

Four men aged, 28, 29, 29 and 32 have been arrested under the Terrorism Act and held on suspicion of involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of act of terrorism.

They are being quizzed at a central London police station.

I saw that on BBC's website crawler. I was waiting for the update before I posted. Hesitation kills ;-)

UNTIED KINGDOM?

[areafiftyone]

I wish they would give more details on this. Sky News is pretty slow in updating their stories too.

This and the news from Iraq . . .

Saddam Deputy Possibly Captured or Killed (Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri)

. . . makes it a pretty good morning so far.

[areafiftyone]

Fox News just had an alert about an ambush but I didn't catch the whole thing. Any news on that?

[leadpenny]

I heard McCord on Imus say something about another ambush in the same city where the 4th ID killed 54 the other day. Nothing further though.

[areafiftyone]

I hate when they do that. Oh well, time to get ready for work . I get sooo caught up on Free Republic I don't want to leave. :-) Have a great day everyone!

D-oh! I put that keyword there ;-)

The Islamic entente attack on the UK ended the stalemate phase of the Third World War with a spectacular fourth generation assault that stunned the entire world. The bold strike shattered Anglo-American visions of a quick victory just as American hopes had been crushed with Tet in 1968. Once again total war had returned to the globe -- it would be ten long years before the West emerged triumphant...

*********

The United Kingdom is swarming now with Islamic entente operatives. The Ramadan offensive has stunned the West on many levels -- yet opportunity still remains to blunt the UK assaults before they occur.

The Brits must execute a comprehensive round-up before it is too late. The clock is ticking -- failure to close the net now risks catastrophic events.

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.

...another 50,000 to go.

More Buddhist terrorists? Jewish terrorists? Christian terrorists?

Lately, we have had the good news on our side inspite of the left wing controlled media. The left is losing around the world and here.

The Tipping Point
December 02, 2003 MND Bruce Walker


Free Iran at ActivistChat.com
Wars have a tipping point when one side realizes that it will, inevitably, lose. In 1918, the unbeaten German Army in France and Belgian saw that the flow of fresh troops from America made ultimate defeat certain. In 1990, when the Berlin Wall was torn down, the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Empire was inevitable.

Leftism has reached the same tipping point: the Left will lose its war on America and ordered liberty. There is no specific event - no Battle of Midway or Siege of Yorktown - which precisely defines the coming collapse of Leftism, but a cluster of trends all point in the same direction.

Leftists pined for another Great Depression in America, which, they hoped, would bring back the good old days of soup lines and socialist rabble rousers. But the economy is growing at the fastest rate in two decades. This insures the reelection of President Bush, but it causes Leftists other problems as well.

Sanctimonious whining about the federal deficit, which never once concerned Leftists when the welfare state was being created, look increasingly silly as the engine of economic recovery produces much greater federal tax revenues. In the 2004 campaign, honest economic analysts will be able to project surpluses during the second term of President Bush.

Leftists invented the politics of personal destruction. They have used this tactic not only against politicians but against anyone who stands in their way, but it no longer works - and everyone sees that it no longer works.

Rush Limbaugh, hit with a double whammy in a single week, is back on the air and very popular. The risible concern expressed about Mel Gibson’s production of a film which simply reflects the honest beliefs of Christians about the death of Jesus failed to concern serious people and will insure a bigger audience for The Passion.

Katherine Harris is now Congresswoman Harris and a member of the leadership of the majority party in Congress. Newt Gingrich is a frequent and respected commentator on conservative news programs. Senator Carnahan, by contrast, is now citizen Carnahan. Governor Davis is now citizen Davis.

Most important, the shrill hatred of President Bush, whose personal popularity has been higher than any president in the history of modern polling, shows the Lilliputian size of the Left. Conservatives and other normal people look at Leftist whining about President Bush’s surprise Thanksgiving visit to our troops in combat zones with a combination of bafflement and contempt.

Leftists attackers now find themselves the attacked. The LA Times-Democrat and the New York Times-Democrat double teamed Governor Schwarzenegger several days before the recall election. Their sneaky slanders did not hurt him, but the LA Times-Democrat lost subscribers it could ill afford to lose and the New York Times-Democrat added its lies about a pro-Nazi Schwarzenegger to its ghastly incompetence in the Jason Blair fiasco.

CBS was forced to scratch The Reagans because the network grossly underestimated the intensity and organization of a very broad, connected and informed conservative majority in America. Books like Bias show Leftism is bankrupt and dishonest.

Academia is facing increasing scrutiny and ridicule as its absurd, surreal hatred of all things good about America becomes more and more commonly understood. The salient fact in this area: students are much more conservative than their faculty and much less willing to be cowed into submission.

The political landscape has changed as well. The Republican Party is now, unquestionably, the majority party in America. Men who once were listened to in the Democrat Party - Ed Koch, Zell Miller, and Andrew Cuomo - now throw up their hands in frustration at a political party that weighs the political consequences of fighting terrorism.

The picture around the world looks even bleaker for Leftists. When President Bush is reelected, the evolution of Iraq into a tolerant nation of ordered liberty is assured. The mullahs of Iran will lose power and be replaced, inevitably, by secular and pro-American leaders. The changes in these two nations will not just transform the Middle East, but Islam itself.

Castro will die soon, and Cuba will live again. Germany will soon have a political party sympathetic, rather than unsympathetic, to our goals. Revelations that the ruling Social Democrat Party was infested with Stasi spies and the sleazy way in which Schroeder won his last election will mean that the next Chancellor of Germany will want to mend relations with America quickly.

Everything points in the same direction: the outcome of the war between Leftism and ordered liberty is certain. Conservatives and other normal people will win this war. Marxists, Fascists, Socialists, Nazis, Islamic totalitarians and other Leftists will lose. As that fact becomes clearer, the orderly retreat of the Left will become a rout.

They are being quizzed at a central London police station.

Quizzed?

Q: "What's the capital of Morocco!?"
A: 'M'

[spokeshave]

I hope they are "quizzed" with extreme predjudice

Saddam Deputy Possibly Captured or Killed (Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri)

Premature celebration on this one.

[Incorrigible]

We're at 65 hours and 33 minutes since your Ramadan offensive prediction! :-)

Only 6 and half hours left until the third world war!

BBC UPDATE

Fourteen arrested in terror raids

Fourteen people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in raids on addresses in London, Cambridge and the West Midlands.

Four men were taken to a central London police station by Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch officers.

Five men and a woman were also arrested at two addresses in Cambridge and detained under Section 41 of the Act.

Four men were held in raids in Walsall and Dudley, though police said these arrests were not linked to the others.


It is part of this massive effort we have been having since 11 September. And it will continue
Sir John Stevens

Section 41 governs offences relating to involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

"Officers from the Metropolitan Police Services' anti-terrorism branch executed search warrants at six residential and three business premises in southwest London," a spokeswoman said.

Britain's most senior police officer, Sir John Stevens, told BBC News four UK residents had been arrested at 0530 GMT as part of an "ongoing operation".

"We are arresting people continuously," he added.

"It is part of this massive effort we have been having since 11 September. And it will continue."

The latest arrests come as Prime Minister Tony Blair warned that the UK must remain "permanently vigilant" against the threat of terrorism.

Britain has been on the second highest security alert for two weeks since officials warned they had intelligence suggesting an attack was planned.

They have not specified any particular target.

On Monday, police were granted 48 more hours to hold a suspect anti-terror officers arrested in Gloucester last Thursday.
