Got the Bastards! (Caught Like Rats in a Trap)
The Sun UK ^ | 30 July 05 | Mike Sullivan

Posted on 07/30/2005 12:51:26 AM PDT by SkyPilot

SECURITY chiefs were jubilant last night after police and SAS troops combined brilliantly to corner 21/7 bombing suspects like rats in a trap.

A day of drama ended with ALL five men wanted over last week’s botched London suicide attacks in custody.

Muktar Mohammed-Said, 27, thought to have attempted to blow himself up on a No26 bus, was arrested after a siege at a West London flat.

A man wanted over the Oval Tube attack, named last night as Ramzi Mohammed, was held at the same address.

In another raid less than a mile away, a suspected terrorist said to have dumped a rucksack bomb after 21/7 was nicked.

He was named as Ramzi’s 22-year-old brother Wahbi.

And in Rome, police arrested Hussain Osman, 27 — alleged to have been the Shepherd’s Bush bomber.

The other alleged gang member, Yassin Hassan Omar, 24, was seized in Birmingham on Wednesday over the Warren Street Tube attack.

Sources said both Ramzi and Osman were Somalis who came to the UK with their families and later claimed British citizenship.

Said and Omar were also East Africans who had become British nationals.

Said and the Oval suspect gave themselves up after a tense stand-off at Dalgarno Gardens on the Peabody Estate in Notting Hill, West London.

SAS troops blew the front door off its hinges with a small specially-designed explosive charge.

They could put them on big treadmills and make them power the very trains they tried to destroy.

From the story:
British cops tipped off Italian colleagues that he could be heading for Rome after intercepting mobile calls between him and his brother-in-law, who lives in the city.

His journey from London via Milan and Bologna was tracked and Italian police swooped when he reached Rome.

And the brother in law?

Seems to me the Brits were screaming about Abu Grab pictures, no? Muslims don't like to be paraded around naked.... Ah, how perception changes when reality hits close to home.

Any way, well done Bobbies!

I noticed this in the story as well.

For 20 minutes the men refused to give themselves up as they demanded their “rights”.

Only 500 ft? That doesn't give them much time to think about what it's like to hit the ground at several hundred miles an hour. I'd prefer 20 thousand feet, naked, and wearing an oxygen tank.

They talk a big game, don't they?

Remember Saddam Hussein was "going to go down fighting to his death?"

exactly. Put underwear on their head, BAD... force them into public naked, fine and dandy.

There are different standards for America, don't you know.

[...Muktar Mohammed-Said ... Ramzi Mohammed ... Ramzi’s 22-year-old brother Wahbi. ... Hussain Osman ... Yassin Hassan Omar...]



Judging by their names, I'd guess they're members of the Irish Republican Army.

/sarcasm off

From the article:

At around midday I saw a man running from a silver car into the flat. Police called to him to stop. They were shouting, ‘Mohammed, get out, get out. Give yourself up’.

I guess when you yell "Mohammed, give yourself up"--a lot of heads turn in unison.

I like that line: "Surrender Mohammed!" Kind of a catch phrase for the war we are in.
