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.

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.
