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.

I agree. He should be scared.

Message to terrorists: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

"The majority in England are still US haters and Islamic apologist."

Sure hope not. With luck the incidents are serving as a serious 4-alarm wake up call.

"He whined and sniveled about his rights. Say, that would make a great movie! Harry Callahan moves to London and takes on the terrorists!"

I think Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" is more appropriate.

""Allah's "warriors" are sniveling little wusses unless they're up against women or babies." "Precisely! That's why they won't form an army to take on the peoples they wish to conquer and convert to Islam. They don't want to fight, they want to murder the weak and defenseless in the hope that the rest of us will cave in from fear."

Bingo.

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

That response sickens me. A more appropriate response might have been:

"You have a choice; you can run, but then you'll just die tired."

These are not girl scouts; they are not even people!

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

This reminds me of Atta's father in Cairo, whining that he defended his son because a hellfire missile otherwise might come in through his front window.

Israelis have the right idea. This takes terror back to the terrorists where they live.

Don't Hellfire missiles have the reputation of going "rogue"?
Why can't unexplained explosions visit the maggots where they live? Routinely?
I can fantacize... The first thing that happens is all his neighbors move away...

The shooting of the first man (5 to the head) served notice. As an aside, I believe that he was set up by his Islamofascist buddies in the house in the hopes that the terrorist cells could at least call mistreatment and put the spotlight on the cops instead of on them. It backfired.

Now that the notice has gone up, it set the tone for when they went in and got the next groups. If the first man didn't die, who knows what kind of resistance would have been put up. But, as it happens, there are always consequences. This is a good one. And, with the myriad published photos of British cops with, not only sidearms, but sniper rifles and machine guns loaded with safeties off, the public dewussification of the United Kingdom has begun.

We'll know that they are serious once the UK restores gun rights to individual civilians.

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

Sad to say no Brit has any RIGHTS.. They have government given privilege(s).. Big difference between RIGHTS and gov't given privilege.. A fact lost on most all Brits.. or any URP'ean..

The U.S.A. is the ONLY country with any RIGHTS at all.. on this planet..

I suspect those who were injured in the underground and bus were also scared, while the life blood was pouring out of where their limbs once where.

Well, I believe that the Brits do have God given rights. They just need to be claimed.

And as an afterthought...Americans should not be too smug about their rights either. They are eroding left, right and center.

Cheers.
