"7 July bomber 'filmed last year'"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "London bomber Mohammed Sidique Khan featured in a surveillance operation by intelligence services last year, a BBC investigation suggests."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "A terror suspect held in connection with the 2002 Bali bombings has alleged that Khan travelled to Malaysia and the Philippines in 2001 to meet leaders of extremist Islamic group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which is closely linked with al-Qaeda."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #3: "The suspect said that, after Khan was hosted by notorious JI leader Hambali in Malaysia, he was taken to the Philippines to meet and train with other leaders of the group, suspected of carrying out a number of terror attacks including the Bali bombings of 2002 and 2005.


A careful study of his [Khan's] background and contacts reveal a number of clues to his extremism which the British intelligence apparently missed
BBC correspondent Richard Watson

And in 2003, Khan met with an Islamic extremist in Pakistan who has since confessed to supplying military equipment to al-Qaeda, the BBC has learned.

The extremist, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is a US citizen from a Pakistani family from New York who travelled to Pakistan a week after the 11 September attacks.

Khan and the man also saw each other together in Leeds in 2003, the BBC understands.

"Mohammed Sidique Khan was running a strong cover with his work as a caring teaching assistant in Leeds," BBC correspondent Richard Watson said."

Seems like our FBI aren't the only intelligence agency that misses the "obvious". It might be a good idea for the FBI/CIA to hire some better internet researchers and/or investigative journalists to their ranks. I've uncovered so much stuff in passing by just plugging in names and such on google. (BTW: If any are reading this, I'd be happy to get paid! (o;)

I think a lot of the stuff is like "The Puloined Letter" - too obvious for them to see... Perhaps we should send copies of Poe's story to these folks! LOL
