Sounds like the British turned up a bunch of names in this investigation. Pakistan, Turkey...lots of arrests going down.

There could be more to come.

That makes UK, Pakistan, Italy so far....and by my count damn near 100 of these rats spread in (so far) 3 countries.

More to come, just watch...

I'm betting Pakistani interrogators will not make the fringe-left democrats happy.

Musharraf, despite his many faults, is imperiling his life with these strong moves against the jihadis. I wish him well.

I believe he's done about as much as he can and still stay alive.

It sure is and I want to see much more of this.

I know that more will spring up, but we have to just keep on making sure their plans all fail!

Of course, what are the chances that the Democrats will keep saying that the War on Terror has done no good? After all, we haven't gotten Osama!

ok .. now I'm confused

The AP is also reporting there is no evidence of a threat

I sure wish the AP would make up their minds




No evidence of U.S.-based threat found

They will say "their rights were violated", leading up to the arrests.

Roundups of plotters in Britain, Italy, and Pakistan, but not in the US, even though we are the number one target. That actually may be an ominous sign.

One can only hope that the courts, Specter, and the Dems don't soon end up with American blood on their hands.

When the ISI itself aids, abets and protects terrorists, this is the result. Musharraf is a back stabber. He is the faux good cop facing the West meanwhile the real fiends are still just as evil as ever. Not only are they still accomodating the terrorists, they are in bed with Beijing / the PLA, helping the PRC gain entree to the Indian Ocean.

"Pakistani intelligence agents have arrested as many as 17 people, some of them British nationals, in the plot to blow up jetliners flying from Britain to the U.S.
...... the country remains a fertile ground for Islamic militancy."

"British authorities arrested 24 people Thursday....Seems England is more fertile then Pakistan."
