Brit terrorist suspect to police during raid: "I have rights...I'm scared"

Unbelievable. The nerve of these self-absorbed cowards.

Suspect: I have rights

By VIRGINIA WHEELER, JEROME STARKEY and RICHARD WHITE

THE two terror suspects caught in West London demanded cops respect their HUMAN RIGHTS during the siege on their flat.

A witness said: “I heard one of them say ‘I’ve got rights’.”

And an astonished security source said: “We could not believe our ears when we heard them moaning about their human rights.

“What about the rights of the innocent people we believe they wanted to kill?

“What about the rights of the 52 people murdered by the four suicide bombers on July 7?”

Bus bomb suspect Muktar Mohammed-Said and alleged Oval Tube attacker Ramzi Mohammed also told police they were too scared to come out of their flat.

Delivery driver Alex Ospina — who lives on the estate where the arrests were made — said he heard one of the men shouting to police.

Alex, 31, said: “The police were saying ‘Come out’, but the guy was saying he was scared.

“He was saying: ‘How do I know you’re not going to shoot me like the guy in Stockwell Tube station?’

“The police told him: ‘That was a mistake, it’s not going to happen.’”

The speed of the police operation meant many terrified residents were trapped in their flats as cops stormed the building in Dalgarno Gardens, Notting Hill.

Stay back ... kids ushered away Stay back ... kids ushered away

One mum, who declined to be named, heard cops pleading with one of the men to get out.

She said: “Police were shouting something like: ‘Mohammed, get out, get out. Give yourself up.’

“The negotiations went on for about 30 minutes. The next thing I knew there was a huge explosion as police blew the doors off the apartment and rushed in.”

Videocam footage shot by one resident showed the moment the terror suspects were arrested. Both men emerged naked on a balcony, holding their hands in the air.

They were spitting and coughing from the effects of CS gas and smoke from the stun grenades.

One witness said: “The police slowly inched them back inside the flat.

“Both men had a look of absolute surrender. They appeared to be very shocked.”

Residents later saw one suspect being led away wearing a white police-issue boiler suit with plastic bags over his hands.

Resident Kay Major said: “Two officers in blue boiler suits were on either side of him. They walked slowly and got inside a Black Astra.

“The man had plastic bags over his hands and they held paper or cardboard over his face.”

One stunned estate resident told how he has been caught up FOUR times in the London bombings.

Dad-of-two Michael Hellings, 39, was injured in the Aldgate attack on 7/7. He was then evacuated from a mosque in East London after he went there to thank Muslims who had helped him.

He also walked past a park in Notting Hill when cops carried out a controlled explosion last week — and he LIVES on the estate raided yesterday.

Mr Hellings said: “These troubles seem to follow me around.

“I don’t know if I’m the luckiest man alive or the most unlucky.”

Police chief Peter Clarke, head of the Met’s anti-terrorist branch, last night thanked the public for their support and assistance during the probe into the bombings.

He urged anyone with information about the suspects to ring the police hotline on 0800 789321.

He DOES have rights. But once they are exhausted, if he's found guilty, then he won't get any sympathy here.

You have the right to be killed the exact same way you attempted to murder INNOCENT Brits.

Unfortunately, in Europe, he has the right not to have his head cut off, even if convicted.

But I wonder how long that will last.

Whining little weasel. I wonder if this was the one who tried to set his bomb off next to a woman holding a little baby. Allah's "warriors" are sniveling little wusses unless they're up against women or babies.

He's scared???

Good.
I hope he gets MORE scared.
That doesn't begin to equate what "scared" he imposed on 700+ people.

I've got his rights dangling...

Udderly cowards who if they had a gun and other camel riders around them would incite ji'had screaming kill all the Christians.

May God have NO mercy on his soul.

“He was saying: ‘How do I know you’re not going to shoot me like the guy in Stockwell Tube station?’

"Oh you'll just have to trust us," said the policeman, as he took the safety off.

Remember the little weasel in the first "Dirty Harry" movie? He whined and sniveled about his rights. Say, that would make a great movie! Harry Callahan moves to London and takes on the terrorists! Too bad he wouldn't be able to take his .44 Magnum with him. "Right, sir, we do have some rather weird gun laws here. Please surrender that large gun, there's a good chap."

Yes, Johnny Mohammed Jihadist. You have the right to resist arrest and die, or you can remove your clothes and be naked for the entire world.

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.
