'Terror Suspects Are Still At Large'(Glasgow & London)
Sky News (UK) ^ | July 1, 2007

The majority of five terror suspects being held in police custody in connection with bomb attacks in London and Glasgow are not British and at least one is still at large, according to Sky sources.

Two men were arrested after ramming a car into Glasgow Airport on Saturday and a 26-year-old man and 27-year-old woman have been arrested on the M6 near Sandbach in Cheshire.

A fifth terror related arrest was made in Liverpool after a car was stopped in the Lime Street area of the city.

Sky sources say most of the suspects are not British and at least one other suspect remains at large.

Meanwhile a suspect car has been blown up by police in the grounds of the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where one of the suspects from the Glasgow airport attack is in a critical condition and being held under armed guard.

The hospital was cordoned off and army disposal experts called in to carry out the controlled explosion.

Strathclyde Police said they believed the car was connected to the attack at Glasgow airport but did not contain explosives.

During the airport attack, two men rammed a burning Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal, leaving passengers screaming in terror.

It has since emerged the car was packed with gas canisters which would have caused massive casualties if they had exploded.

While the driver is in hospital being treated for burns, the second man in the car, a 27-year-old, is in police custody.

Assistant Chief Constable John Malcolm is appealing for information on the movements of the Jeep, registration L808 RDT.

He said: "I need information regarding sightings of this vehicle in the past few weeks and in particular the past few days."

He said the force was reviewing CCTV footage from the airport and was receiving up to "100 calls an hour" from the public.

The attack follows the attempted bombings in London early on Friday morning, when two Mercedes packed with petrol and nails were parked in London's West End near the Tiger Tiger nightclub.

Meanwhile homes in Sunningdale Grove, in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire have been raided as police widen their net in the search

Homes in Houston, near Glasgow, are also being searched by Strathclyde Police.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said the links between the three attacks were becoming "ever clearer".

He said: "We are learning a great deal about the people involved in the attacks and are pursuing new lines of inquiry."

The government has raised Britain's terror alert level to critical, meaning an attack is expected imminently.

An incident room is taking calls on 0800 0560944.

Someone said something yesterday about one of them being Indonesian—which as we know has its own terrorism problem.

They are from the "Middle-East"?! And let me guess! Have Been known to talk Promoting Terrorism in London Mosques? have Been Known by the authorities there that they are Terrorists and/or have Terrorist ties, and yet Have Never been pulled-in to be interviewed by the Authorities because of "Political Correctness"!--

I Bet they Already Have had LAWYERS(Those other terrorist friends) coming out of the wood work to DEFEND them before they were even booked!

I wonder how long Information like THAT would have come out in the MAIN STREET MEDIA if any such attack had happened on American Soil!

First: There would have been the " ..Now don't PANIC America!...that Mushroom Cloud over Manhatten might just be Green-House Gases from Us Wasting the World's Energy and Polluting the Planet....then...

Second: The news would go to Rosie-O O'Donell who would TRASH America for 40 minutes--and then cut to an hour of, "..How is life outside of Prison treating Paris Hilton.."...then..

Third:....Schrillary Would get on to do a news conference and work into it how she can trace an ancestor of hers to the MIDDLE-EAST on her Great,Great Grand Mother's side.....then..

Fourth...Reid would get on the air again , givng the aid, comfort & Go A-Head Signal for Terrorists to attack again by stating the "..we lost the war on terror..."

Did I mention that Schrillary would mention how she's 1/180th Muslim? somewhere in her family tree?

"..All Evil Needs to Win is for Good People to Stand by and Do Nothing."

‘Terror Suspects Are Still At Large’(Glasgow & London)”

They’re probably hiding in some safe house before being shipped out of the country or before being killed in order to get rid of any evidence. Remember, they should’ve been dead, but they’re not - they are failures.

Scotland yard better start digging around in the peat moss on the moors.

some from Indonesia.

Not disagreeing (anything's possible with the Moon Worshipping Pantheists), but it would be a surprise. With only very limited conviction I'm still trying to believe that the Indonesian Muslims are "different".
