A massive MI5 anti-terrorism operation discovers Britain's first Islamic "school for terror."
Al-Qaida has supplied its estimated 2,000 sleeper agents in Britain with what MI5 Director Eliza Manningham-Buller tells Home Secretary John Reid is "the most sophisticated terror manual ever found in this country."
MI5 is checking all Britain's universities and technical schools for Middle East students with a qualification in thermochemistry the science that includes creating liquid explosives.
MI6, Britain's secret intelligence service, has established that Continuity-IRA, the extreme Irish terror group, is providing Hezbollah and Iran's Revolutionary Guard with expertise on how to make ultra-sophisticated roadside bombs.

Hamsa is currently serving seven years for incitement to murder. After he finishes his sentence in the high-security jail Belmarsh in south London, he will be deported to the United States to face charges of inciting to murder American citizens in Yemen.
Meanwhile, the terror manual discovered by MI5 is said to provide unprecedented details on how to create liquid explosives far more powerful than those planned to be used to destroy 10 passenger planes over the Atlantic. The precise steps to produce the bombs are set out in chilling details on an al-Qaida DVD. On one part of the disc are instructions that mimic the style of a celebrity cookbook only it is a recipe for unparalleled carnage, reports G2 Bulletin.
In Tel Aviv, Ehud Keinan, a world-ranking authority on liquid explosives and whose expertise is invaluable to Mossad, confirmed the details discovered on the al-Qaida DVD was of major importance in the fight against terrorism.
"It is very easy to produce such explosives once the know-how is explained," he said. "The raw materials are readily available in unlimited quantities in the High Street."
The DVD was discovered during the climax of an MI5 surveillance operation that had begun in Dublin and ended last month on the road to Chester. It was a busy month for MI5.
The search continues for Middle East students with expertise in thermochemistry. The hunt also extends, G2 Bulletin reports, to all firms in the chemical industry.
A senior intelligence officer confirmed MI5 fears a student has been recruited by al-Qaida to prepare the explosives at the center of the biggest terrorist alert in Britain.
Liquid oxygen explosives, or LOX, are considered to have been the weapon of choice for the alleged planned attacks on transatlantic planes.
One possibility being urgently investigated by scientists at Britain's chemical-biological defense establishment at Porton Down is that terrorists could have perfected not only hiding the explosive in fizzy drinks bottles, but placing it in perfume bottles or after-shave sprays.
"The pipe which allows the liquid to be dispersed through the spray nozzle acts as the timer," said a Porton Down source. "It would be activated by pressing the spray nozzle to cause an instant explosion."
He confirmed a perfume bottle sold in any High Street store could be filled with sufficient liquid explosive capable of blowing a sizable hole in the side of a jumbo jet.
"Inside the cabin the explosion would create an air vacuum, killing those in the vicinity by crushing their lungs," explained the source. "Other passengers would be sucked out of the hole. The impact of the explosion would also cause the aircraft to break up."
Known as "the Lockerbie Effect," the terrorist bomb that destroyed a PanAm flight over the Scottish town has been studied by explosive experts. They have concluded liquid explosive would achieve the same carnage.
Lastly, a link has been found between an IRA splinter group and Iran's Hezbollah terrorist organization. MI6 supported by U.S. satellite surveillance and undercover agents in Iran from Israel's vaunted spy agency, Mossad have tracked Irish bomb makers to three factories in the Lavizan surburb in northern Tehran.
Earlier this year, the six-man Continuity-IRA team traveled from Dublin to Frankfurt and onward to Damascus. From there they were brought in an Iranian military aircraft to Tehran, G2 Bulletin reports.
"Their arrival marked an axis of evil we most feared," said a senior MI6 officer. "This brings global terrorism to a new level."
In Washington, Alireza Jafarzadah, a former member of the Washington-based Iran Policy Committee, said the Tehran workshops where the six Irish bombers are working are "highly sophisticated." The Irish are primarily providing their expertise in how to make and disguise infrared triggering devices.
During the conflict in Northern Ireland, the success of roadside bombs left dozens of British soldiers dead or injured. The bombs were also used to topple buildings and bring terror to the streets of Belfast and other cities in the province.
More recently the black art of the bomb makers became an effective weapon for Hezbollah fighting Israeli armor. Adapted to be fired from anti-tank missiles, the bombs created fireballs when shot, often with unerring aim, at advancing Israeli tanks.
By the time a ceasefire finally came in the Middle East conflict, Hezbollah claimed it had "several hundred" more of the missiles stored in the Bekaa Valley.
The bombs are made from concave steel or copper plate. When fired they travel at 2,000 meters per second and can penetrate 10cm of armor at a distance of 100 meters.
British scientists have established the mines are precision-made weapons turned on a lathe by craftsmen trained in the manufacture of munitions.
These are attached to explosively formed projectiles, or EFPs. The weapons have pierced the armor of British and American tanks in Iraq and demolished Land Rovers in Afghanistan.
Evil SOB's!
The story is a few days old. But I concur.
Oh great, coming to a street corner near you! Yes sireee ladies and gentlemen, a real live terrorist in your own neighborhood and maybe somebody you know. But let us not insult the Muzzies and now to include the good old Irish. They are your friends, they are here to love you to pieces.
After reading this article all I can say is get ready folks, it is coming to America.
We all need to email our 'beloved' Congresscritters and let them know that we are not in the mood for talking with terrorists, whether it be a nation or organization, and that we, the people they promised to defend and support, are not at all influenced by the lying assurances (of peaceful purposes) of these terrorists.
What our Fed calls "moderate muslims" are nothing more than the same enemy determined to destroy us from another front. Using our own Constitution and freedoms against those very entities to destroy us and them.
In WW2 we interned Japanese citizens for fear of doing what Muslims are engaged in right now. They cannot be free to stand on the side of terrorists when they support Hamas and Hezbolah through charity fronts. The claim that these innocents have no idea what their money is going for is no more than bull feathers.
bttt
What a wonderful group of people.
What a wonderful religion.
We all need to email our 'beloved' Congresscritters and let them know...We need to vote the RATS'n'RINOS out of office.
Well first, it is well-known that the IRA has never been too fastidious in its selection of bedfellows, witness its involvement with the murderous Colombian narco gangs. But the narco gangs have never been crusading against Christianity, indeed they are nominal Catholics themselves. I think the explanation must lie elsewhere.
There is no question that there is an affinity within the hard left for Islamic terrorists. There's been much speculation on these boards about the motivation for a political ideology to undermine the West's defenses in a war waged by fundamentalists who would trample every dearly held belief of the left such as the beauties of atheism, feminism, and secular one world government. Why would the hard left, like the IRA, betray its own, albeit distorted, principles? Why do Western feminists remain silent in the face of Muslim oppression of women?
The best answer I have heard is that feminists are leftists first and feminists second and that implies that there is some sort of pull for leftists in the war against Western liberal democracy. If that is so, I would venture that the same applies to the IRA. I assume that it goes without saying that the IRA is also a very leftist organization.
The best answer to this seeming inconsistency is to cite the history of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, all of whom sold out not only their nationstate, but also their own party in the quest for personal power. Mao for example provided intelligence to the Japanese to use against the Nationalist Chinese in World War II. On many occasions he sold out his own Communist armies to the Nationalist Chinese to advance his own personal quest for power. Thus I am postulating that there is a gene in the leftist DNA which amounts to a mad and reckless rule or ruin strategy.
This is not at all inconsistent with the notion that the left loathes the western nationstate, especially the United States, as the major obstacle to its imposition of One World leftist rule. Thus, every self-respecting modern leftists who found himself in the 18th century would would have hated the American Revolution and loved the the French Revolution because he believes he would have emerged as the Napoleon from the carnage. Better Armageddon than status quo.
I confess I do not find this explanation completely convincing and would welcome other thoughts.
MI5 is checking all Britain's universities and technical schools for Middle East students with a qualification in thermochemistry—the science that includes creating liquid explosives.So we ourselves are teaching them how to kill us. For free. As “development aid.” Just great.[…]

We have thousands of Islamic students in this country and every day we allow more of them in. We have islamics on the staff of those colleges, We have alledgedly American counterparts working in them. We need to wake up and stop importing more Islamics and start exporting the ones that are here.
Yes, but WND seems to have taken articles from the London Telegraph and "embellished" them.
Save
"Thus I am postulating that there is a gene in the leftist DNA which amounts to a mad and reckless rule or ruin strategy....."
"They are not worshipping the same God as Jews and Christians"
This struggle trancends the mundane, earthly issues we all take for granted. At some level it is cosmic...and the greatest weakness we have is our blindness to that regard.
The affiliation between the IRA and the Muzzies goes way back, and has been documented by Claire Sterling in the "Terror Network" (1980)
I have read other works that opine that Terrorists in general are nothing more than criminals that gravitate to these organizations as a way to justify their criminal activity. That would also help explain the Muzzie/IRA Links.
Food for thought only.
The IRA is a Marxist organization, like ETA, and both have been active for decades with the PLO and other leftist Islamist groups. It is not Christian and does not pretend to be, except in the sense that it took advantage of a sectarian nationalist conflict in Ireland to grow and become powerful.
ETA's "ideal" socialist paradise was the old Albania, the worst and harshest of the Communist dictatorships; the IRA also aspired to that type of country, but the IRA is more international, probably because of all the money given to it by idiot Americans in their bars, and has become a free-floating school for terrorists everywhere. An IRA "bomb specialist" was arrested in Brazil last year, where he had gone to provide training to a mixed group of leftists and jihadis in the Triple Border area.
