'Madrid-Style' Attack Thwarted in London - Police
LONDON (Reuters) - Security services have thwarted a planned attack on London similar to the March 11 train bombings in Madrid by Islamic extremists, the British capital's police chief said on Thursday.

Asked if his force had stopped a strike on the scale of the Spanish attack, he added: "Yes, I can't discuss it because of court proceedings -- but yes we have stopped a Madrid."

Sounds like they are going to need their own Gitmo on Jersey Island...all that quaint tourist crap will have to go....better yet put them all in a pig pen on one of those remote Scottish Islands...barren, inescapable and freezing just about now.....
Unless everyone who refuses to eat a pork sausage is deported, and noone who refuses is allowed to enter the US!
