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.

Tie them to a pole and stick it in a fire ant mound.

Love the Sun Headline, but after the dog chases and catches the car, nipping at the tire, what does he do then?.....

I like this altitude better. More time to think on the way down. Twenty thou ought to be just about right. They should remain conscious all the way down. Nude, and rigged with a parachute and mimimal training on operating the chute. Then they have a choice which will not be related to them. Landing in the North Sea by chute, where they may last another 15 minutes until the water temperature gets them, or not pulling the ripcord, no auto deployment.

how about dropping a neutron bomb on Mecca and starting from scratch?

Name one thing that Muslims, one positive thing, that they have done to better this world.

Casloy, that challenge is to everybody.

Use them as "bombs" to drop over Mecca....

Splatter their asses all over that square...

Sure! After all, the UN did not complain when that happened to office workers on 9-11.

Remember.

How true.

Just damn glad they weren't arrested here in the USA.

Well they would still be on the loose if they were living in some of our cities.

Cities where the city government refuses to cooperate with immigration agents,

Place like Houston come to mind.

Also be glad they were not arrested here because the ACLU scumbags would have been on this quicker than a Chuck Schummer New York minute.

I believe one of the terrorists told the police he had rights.

If I had been the policeman at that point of the comment my gun would have accidentally misfired ending his debate over rights.

I certainly hope that you are not suggesting that the U.N. may be prejudiced against the U.S.A. are you? (please try not to choke on this bit of sarcasm!)

Great work.

Would our security systems be as efficient?



The key is not to catch them after they blow up a subway train, but before. Based on that, I would say yes, since we wanted one member of the bomber group given to us and the Brits refused.

France is doing what we are doing, locking them up before they have a chance to do something. France has no problem with real torture.

There seem to be a lot of terrorists that blow themselves up accidently when working on bombs. I would say that, like Bush said, there is much going on that we do not and might never see.

The Brits have done some fine police work over the past couple of weeks....nearly perfect. (100% minus the unlucky fellow that got shot to death.)

WCKR, you are right. The British gov't and courts have to make a great public showing of the conviction and the harshest sentencing available for these terrorists.

Thinking about it some, I guess a life prison term would be worse than death, since they mostly kill themselves anyway, plus they won't be martyrs and will never get close to those 72 virgins. ;)

Love the headline. And the pic. Here's hoping this puts a dent in recruiting.

The liberal Limeys will make them promise to be good and not do it again and let them go.

I'd like to see them released . . . through a trap-door . . . wearing one of these.

The Brazilian's death is having an effect. In other words, these guys mean business, they might blow my head off if I screw around.

I like that idea, but tie them with some pig entrails, before dropping.

I see your point. A life sentence denies them martyrdom.
