SKY News is reporting that Scotland Yard has arrested the 4th bomber(Bus bomber) in Rome.
Onward christian soldiers!!! Giddy Up!!!
"Onward christian soldiers!!! Giddy Up!!!"
Check my tagline.
You got it RIGHT!!!
England rocks!
BUMP
So, do "suicide" bombers surrender when guns are pointed at them, or are these guys mere explosives mules who got betrayed by their handler (i.e. their handler said "transport these bombs to XYZ" and while transporting, the handler dialed the cell phone numbers of each bomb)?
No point in dying if you can't kill infidels?
how long before someone says England is going to be opening gulags and little gitmos?
Now that all four fiends have been captured, dispose of them the old-fashioned way - give them the rope.
On we go for the rest!
"Lemme guess.... The bomber's a blond female vegan who prays to trees."
AP reports that the last three to be nabbed are East Africans. Why are people afraid to say the the mutants are Africans?
Sounds like he'll be telling ALL he knows with a "little" persuasion....If I were his handler I'd be VERY worried.
France ejects 12 Islamic 'preachers of hate'By Colin Randall
July 30, 2005PASRIS - The gulf between British and French treatment of preachers of hatred and violence was thrown sharply into focus yesterday when France announced the summary expulsion of a dozen Islamists between now and the end of August.
A tough new anti-terrorism package was unveiled by Nicolas Sarkozy, the interior minister and a popular centre-Right politician. His proposals reflect French determination to act swiftly against extremists in defiance of the human rights lobby, which is noticeably less vocal in France than in Britain.
Imams and their followers who fuel anti-western feeling among impressionable young French Muslims will be rounded up and returned to their countries of origin, most commonly in France's case to its former north African colonies.
Mr Sarkozy also revealed that as many as 12 French mosques associated with provocative anti-western preaching were under surveillance. Imams indulging in inflammatory rhetoric will be expelled even if their religious status is recognised by mainstream Muslim bodies.
Those who have assumed French citizenship will not be protected from deportation. Mr Sarkozy said he will reactivate measures, "already available in our penal code but simply not used", to strip undesirables of their adopted nationality. "We have to act against radical preachers capable of influencing the youngest and most weak-minded," Mr Sarkozy told the French daily Le Parisien.
The first to be caught in the new round of expulsions is an Algerian, Rena Ameuroud, whose brother Abderraham was jailed in France earlier this year for his part in a jihadist training exercise in the Fontainebleau forest south of Paris. He faces immediate deportation for allegedly urging fellow-worshippers at a Parisian mosque to engage in "holy war".
At least seven French nationals are now known to have been killed while fighting with anti-coalition insurgents in Iraq, in some cases as suicide bombers, the minister said. A further 10 are believed still to be there. France, which has Europe's largest Muslim population with estimates varying from five to nine million out of a population of 60 million, has long prided itself on its stern approach to terrorism.
Mr Sarkozy's crackdown on those "promoting radical Islamist polemic" was disclosed at the end of a week that began with French anger at Britain's failure to extradite the alleged financier of Islamist bombings in Paris in the mid-1990s. Rachid Ramda, 35, an Algerian, has been held for 10 years while fighting attempts to return him to stand trial. Survivors and victims' relatives who gathered this week at the St Michel station in the heart of Paris to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the worst attack, which killed eight, called on Britain to "stop protecting" Ramda.
They are unimpressed by his supporters' claims that he is a "gentle and peaceful" man who devotes his time in the Belmarsh top-security jail in south-east London to learning the Koran by heart, studying English literature and comforting other Muslim prisoners. Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, has approved Ramda's extradition - as did his predecessor David Blunkett - but his removal depends on High Court proceedings.
French ministers and commentators have long expressed exasperation at British handling of individuals who support terrorism, arguing that greater emphasis is being placed on their human rights rather than on security interests.

From what I have gathered you would have to assume they were supposed to be suicide bombers. The one guy who was wimpering and crying yesterday on the day of the bombings certainly sounds like he was aware of his mission:
On the train, he walked up to a crowded section, then lay down on the floor, closed his eyes, pressed his button. Then a little "pooff" sound could be heard, like the popping of a champaign bottle being opened. He opened his eyes. Looked very confused. Probably wondering why paradise looked so much like the tube :-)
Passengers, probably also confused, came over to him and asked him if he was all right... Then he managed to get up, ditch his backpack, and run away. That is, until he got caught yesterday crying and wimping.
I have to admit that I find the scene on the tube actually somewhat amusing. It must be a fairly big psycological move even for a jihadi to get ready to take his own life. I wonderer what he thought when he lied on the floor of the train and looked up?.. Anyhow, to add my speculation of a possible reason this guy cracked to such an extent. I mean in addition to that they are despicable cowards and all that... is the impact of surviving a suicide attempt.
And the scandal of it all is that we live under a REPUBLICAN federal administration, and still have these KNUCKLEHEAD profile-everybody approaches to tracking down terrorists in the USA.
BTW, I've been in Florence and Rome this week and have been impressed with the very visible police presence here. The Italians are clearly worried about being a target.
Every Johnny Mohammed Jihadist lives in fear of being "Fluffed Out" in living color to the world and their Arab street.
No 72 Virgins for these Johnny Mohammed Jihadists. There is nothing but shame for them and hatred to them from the so called Arab Street.
I think the majority of people who don't want to be found realize that cell phones can be traced. This guy either had no way to get a clean one, or he was scared stupid.
Make him slide on his ba*%s down a rusty razor blade into a vat of rubbing alcohol.
