Five of the suspected London terrorists are still at large and are being urgently hunted, according to U.S. sources who have been briefed on the airplane bombing plot.
Officials tell ABC News 24 people now have been taken into custody. Twenty-two are believed to be of Pakistani descent. One is Bangladeshi, and another is of Iranian descent, according to the officials.
One of the arrests was made in the northeastern London suburb of Walthamstow. Residents said police took away a man in his late 20s at 2 a.m. today. The neighbors said the man was British-born, with one parent who is Iranian and had recently become very religious.
You were being sarcastic. I wasn't. ;^)
Asian is the common term in the UK for anyone from the subcontinent.
Chinese are either called orientals, or just chinese.
LOL. Good question. Answer, because they're evil. The real problem is in the definition of "religious". The muslims are religious about killing us all. That's their only religion.
CNN BREAKING: U.S. officials say British agent infiltrated alleged airline terror cell, and cell members met suspected Al Qaeda operative in Pakistan.
This Madrassa student can't be evil. The look in his eyes is one of Peace, can't you tell?
(Another Martyr in the making.)
Right. For the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Southeast Asians, the correct term in England is "Oriental." There are people in the US who find "Oriental" to be an offensive term, for God knows what reason, so they all have to be called "Asian" even though that tells you next to nothing except that they are neither white nor black.
