“Religious leader arrested in terror raid”
John Scheerhout and Dan Thompson
November 16, 2009
SNIPPET: “A RELIGIOUS leader is among five men arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
The Muslim preacher and three others were arrested in raids across Greater Manchester this morning.
The man, who has not been named, teaches the Koran at a number of mosques across the region.
The 62-year-old was arrested at his home on Willows Lane, Deane, Bolton.
“I’m surprised. He carries out spiritual sessions twice-a-week. He is very spiritual,” said one source within the Muslim community.”
SNIPPET: “Police have said more arrests could follow.
Around 40 unarmed officers were involved in the raids and they are now searching the properties.
The raids took place at a mobile phone shop and the flat above on Stockport Road, Levenshulme. No-one was arrested at these properties.
Police arrested a 52-year-old man at a house on Victoria Terrace, Longsight, and a 21-year-old man at a property on Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield.
Later police arrested a 26-year-old man at a hotel near Heathrow Airport.”
SNIPPET: “Police are looking for computers, laptops and computers.”
This statement reads just like the horsesh!t that the Fort Hood commander put out to the press in the murders over there.
"Yes, we have made an arrest." - General Drone, Fort Hood
"Can you tell us anything about the shooter? Who is he? What's he look like?" - Reporter
"We can confirm that we have arrested a male" - General Drone, Fort Hood

“Muslim Leader Arrested in Manchester Anti-Terror Raids”
SNIPPET: “The Longsight address is very close to the Dar-ul-Ulum Qadria Jilania Islamic Centre (formerly St Johns Church) where British National Party activists recently discovered shocking evidence of the systematic desecration of Christian gravestones.
According to sources within Greater Manchester Police, the anti-terror arrests were the culmination of a year-long investigation into the alleged recruitment in Britain of terrorists for training in Afghanistan.
Even as British police, in a supposedly British city, finalised their plans to foil an alleged network supporting Afghan terrorism, news was breaking of the tragic death of yet another British soldier in Labours futile and bloody Afghanistan campaign. The soldier, from 33 Regiment, Royal Engineers, was killed by an improvised explosive device at Gereshk in Helmand province.”
