Five London Suspects Still at Large
ABC NEWS ^ | 8-10-06 | ABC NEWS - BRIAN ROSS

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.

why does the UK keep letting these hummus heads into their country?

Half of them want to overthrow the government, or so it seems.

Woops, hit the wrong key--that is 10, as in ten, NOT 20.

20, yikes.

I did hear 50 suspects altogether this a.m., but they hadn't gotten them all, so I guess that's about right.

They've released the name of 3 in custody:

Rashid Rauf

Mohammed al-Ghandra

Ahmed al Khan


I'm sure they're all Amish.

plot to bring down U.S.-bound airliners from Britain with gel concealed in sports drinks."....

I was given a newspaper and a soda by the ME-ethnic cabbie who drove me to Midway airport shortly after 9/11.

I took the soda and paper, but threw them in the garbage, before I went into the terminal. I knew I was being paranoid, but....

If the Egyptian Eleven make it to LA will Special Order 40 be rescinded to allow LAPD to make an arrest?

Does anyone know if Pakistanis are mainly Sunni, or Shiite?

Alright, for others like me, who didn't know what Special Order 40 is:

Special Order 40, which originated 17 years ago with the L.A. City Council, mandates that police not question anyone they arrest about their immigration status until after criminal charges have been made.

I guess we know where Osama Bin Laden's been hiding out.

Census data[35] indicates that 96% of the population are Muslims of whom nearly 80% are Sunni Muslims and 19% are Shi'a Muslims. Pakistan has the second highest Shia population in the world, after Iran, and more than India or Iraq.
