The youngest of the terror suspects arrested in the raids was a heavily pregnant woman from Hackney, London.
The Asian woman was taken by police handcuffed and still wearing pyjamas from a top floor flat in Denver Road.
It has been reported today that the woman, who has not yet been named, is the wife of Muslim convert Oliver Savant. Eye witnesses described her as five foot tall with braided hair.
One witness said: "I heard a man shout and then the door was knocked through. I looked out of the window and saw a team of armed officers - wearing helmets and goggles - pour out of a black unmarked Mercedes people carrier.
"There were another two vans full of police wearing bullet-proof vests. And there were two guys who looked like intelligence agents who were controlling things."
In another raid, a young woman and her six month-old baby was taken into custoday.
It is believed that terrorists were planning to use liquid explosives to blow up the aeroplanes and as a result, airport security checks are forcing mothers to taste their bottles of baby milk before boarding
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeee'reeeeeee Viiiiiiiiiiictiiiiiims!"
"forcing mothers to taste their bottles of baby milk before boarding"
Would martyrs care if it did taste bad, or poisonous?
Too bad she's not in America. The ACLU would rush to her defense. Of course, they will not rush to the defense of the Soldiers being held in Pendelton stockade.
lol
How did the police get into her pajamas?? Did I Miss sumptin?
What were the terror police doing in her pajamas?
Allahu FUBAR!!
"Asian" is standard British usage to refer to folks from Pakistan, India, etc. I don't know what they use for people from Japan, Korea, China, etc.--maybe "Oriental" still?

Ask Groucho.
What did they take her in for? Couldn't she cuss where she already was???

Interesting... in Atlanta using the word "oriental" gets you dirty looks from the PC set. Thanks for the info.
Yes, they use "Asian" for Japense, Chinese, etc., as well as Indian, Pakistani, Indonesian, Afhan...
I tried to leave a comment on the D H S comment line. I was going to say that I think the British authorities did a great job. But that's because they were looking for TERRORISTS, not VIAGRA. Alas, I couldn't leave the comment because the box was full. I guess a lot of Americans are calling and complaining about their makeup and body deodorants being confiscated.
Midgets can also carry explosives. ~And dwarves.
In fact, they can stow them in baby strollers and the kid's diapers.
No sympathy. No pity. No remorse. No compassion for the men, women, and children, civilians all on the planes.
They will kill and she probably knew.

As to taking out someone in her pajamas:
It is standard police practice (on both sides of the pond) in cases of high risk take-downs to make the raid in the small hours of the morning (such as 0300hrs). This minimizes the prospect of the police being met with violent resistance by awake and alert perps.
Let the cherry picking of whining sob stories begin.
