Britain shall not stand alone. The eagle stands ready with the lion, to avenge the innocent.

[SerpentDove]

Let's see how fast the MSM tries to sweep all this under the rug.

[Calpernia]

Who was killed right before the 9/11 attacks?

Do you think this was triggered by the P.M. death?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

We are with you 100%. I sent e-mail to a "tec" (detective) friend of mine who works for Scotland Yard to let him know how horrified we all are and how much we are pulling for him and his fellow Scotland Yard pros to catch the ba$tard$ who did this!!!!!!!

[Velveeta]

Ahmed Shah Massoud, the Afghanistan Northern Alliance commander was killed on 9/9/2001.

That was a big *dot* in terms of 9/11 when you using 20/20 hindsight.

>>>Do you think this was triggered by the P.M. death?<<<

Personal opinion: Yes. Highly likely.

I know exactly how you feel. My boss and her family are vacationing in London at this very moment. I take a bit of solace from the fact that they sleep in and were probably no where near the "underground." I can only pray for them now.

I am also furious and I hope the rest of America starts to realize that we are fighting International Terrorism. We should be concentrating on hunting down and killing these "animals" and not wringing our hands worrying about whether or not the terrorist at Guantanamo have their air-conditioned cells turned down to low.

I'm SO relieved to see you here today, MadIvan! I came looking for you...

My feelings have been all over the map today. When I heard the news this morning, I just started sobbing, and it felt like I had been kicked in the gut. I can hardly imagine what the fine people of London are going through today.

Hugs and prayers from across the pond. Keep us up to date as much as you can, please!

[ThinkDifferent]

We know we're not alone

Indeed not. Today I am a Briton, and I want vengeance.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I was out last night at a Judas Priest concert, blissfully unaware of what happened until this morning.

I am so sorry, Ivan. (I won't repeat the string of expletives I uttered when I read the headlines a few minutes ago.)

At least you're all right, and for that, I'm thankful.

[Constitution Day]

Glad to hear you are all right.

My wife's sister and brother-in-law live in Highgate, but she called this morning and they are both fine.

[TheBigB]

FYI, just got an email from my friend; she's alive and fine! :) She was in Lavenham, Suffolk, this morning.

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

P.M.?

[iceskater]

Great news. I still haven't heard anything but I'm sure everything will be ok.

[daviscupper]

Good for them, and good for you. I am happy for both of you.

[MadIvan]

I just got home after a 2 1/2 hour commute (it normally just takes an hour)....and I don't live in London. Life is continuing here, just things are in a bit darker hues, just a touch more subdued.

We will smile and shine again. Just not today.

Regards, Ivan

P.M. = Prime Minister.

The Egyptian Prime Minister was kidnapped and Killed.

I've just gotten back on the computer since this morning and have not checked all 'My Comments' yet.

But, right before 9/11, someone significant was killed. There was a jihadi forum that insinuated that death was the go sign for the 9/11 attacks.

The Voice of Jihad eMagazines also indicated that someone's kidnap and death was suppose to trigger the next attack.

I don't know if this is it, coincidence or what. I have to go through my messages to see what was in the Jihadi forums.

[Calpernia]

stillproud2b3free, do any of the message boards indicate that the Prime Minister was one of the kidnappings mentioned in the Voice of Jihad? Not th recent one, the one that told about kidnappings.

London attacks

The following claim of responsibilty was posted on several Arabic language message boards.

The clip below is from the Qal3ah website:

A translation of the posting follows:

The Secret Group of the Qaeda’t al Jihad Organization in Europe

In the name of Allah, the merciful, the beneficent

May peace be on the cheerful and the fearless fighter, our Prophet Muhammad, May the peace of Allah be upon him.

Oh nation of Islam and the Arab Nation

Rejoice for it is time to take revenge from the British Zionist Crusader Government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The heroic mujahideen have carried out a blessed raid in London.

Britain is now burning with fear, terror, and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.

We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people.

We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.

We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

He who warns is excused.

Allah says: If ye will Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet

Ping to post 18. I'll have to try to cross reference this EU Qaeda group with WEF.

[Cindy]

Yep.
Thanks for the ping Calpernia.
