(LONDON) TUBE (SUBWAY) 'CYANIDE PLOT'
Sky News ^ | November 16, 2002 | Sky News

Posted on 11/16/2002 12:57:08 PM PST by MadIvan

Three men have been charged over an alleged plot to release cyanide gas on the London Underground tube network.

The men are north African muslims said to belong to a group linked to al Qaeda.

The alleged plot was foiled after the group was infiltrated by MI5 agents in a six month operation.

The men are thought to be of either Tunisian or Moroccan background and belong to a group called the North African Front, said to have loose connections with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.

One of the men is aged 21, the second 33. The third is in his mid 30s.

They appeared at Bow Street Magistrates' Court earlier this week and were remanded in custody.

Details of the hearing were not released by Scotland Yard at the time and have only just emerged.

The three men will re-appear in court on Monday.

Don't these flaming liberal assholes understand that we lost 3,000 in collateral damage on 09/11/01?

They weren't collateral damage. They were the targets.

Secretaries, custodians, financial traders, mothers, accountants, fathers. All unarmed, all unknowning, all innocent.

It is the hallmark of the jihadists to kill the unsuspecting and innocent, and to run and hide when confronted by men with guns.

They are cowards to the bottom of their gonads.

Good pluck for the Brits though. Nice work. Good to see the western intelligence agencies on their way back.

Only the Brits have a clue. We (USA)could learn a lot from them.

Fatso Tommy Ridge was/is in the UK talking with MI5 brass in trying to figure out how to run his "Homeland Security."

That jack-ass is dumber than AlGore. W should dump Ridge and get an ex-military officer involved. Maj. Bob Belavaqua (sp), the man who contributes to Fox News, comes to mind as an ideal candidate.

That's right. No more tolerance, no more political correctness, it's time for the police to kick the doors down on these people and throw them in jail. One anti-British statement made and they should be cooling their jets in Guantanamo Bay.

Please Ivan, not Gitmo! We have enough of them in this part of the world. But you Brits do have some lovely real estate down around the Falklands, do you not?

I wouldn't inflict them on the good people of the Falklands. Very well then, we can set up a British "Gitmo" in the British Indian Ocean Territory.

Or Antarctica.

Too soon to say. I will report back here as soon as that becomes evident. For my part, I'm furious.

if us brits stuck a sign up saying "get all muslims out now!" we would probably be arrested for being anti-social.

If you had not let the government disarm your country, you could let snipers take them out.

Remember, we (Americans) went through a revolution with you guys, remember?.

Regardless, I think that this planet is coming to this.

Now Ivan you may have this all wrong. Islam is the religion of peace and what really happened is that these three guys just happened to get a hold of some cyanide and just wanted to "share" it with others. [/sarcasm]

Thank God for MI5!!!!!

It gets worse. You do realise that thanks to Weird Bill on September 11th, you had NO intelligence assets in Afghanistan. Nothing. Fortunately MI6 was there.

why waste perfectly good land? there's a perfectly good ocean, and perfectly good concrete, and perfectly good pork fat to lather 'em up in before pushing 'em overboard. shoot the cooperative ones and let the uncooperative ones see if they can drink the ocean beforee they drown. the only way to prevent these bozos doing their deeds is to make it clear that they and everyone they know will not just die but die horribly.

Smite the jihadists wherever you find them! No one should wait for a catastrophe with a million caualties. Kofi Anus is stalling for Saddam and Al Qaida. If the U.S. and U.K. are sovereign states, the blatherings of the UN should be meaningless, and have no bearing on these issues of U.S. and U.K. national security.

Indeed, clinton made life very easy for the terrorists not only in the USA, but world wide. He deserve the islamist medal of honor from saddam, and osama. This medal should look very good in his Little Rock library, a legacy well deserved.

Jolly good show, MI5!

It does make one wonder, though, how many other cells there are that have NOT BEEN infiltrated. . . or how many cells that MI5 and the CIA/FBI don't even know about. Those are the ones that really worry me -- and should indeed worry us all.

Yup. Maggie and Ronnie were a political marriage made in heaven. Two peas in a pod. Cut from the same philosphical cloth. Conservative, hard-ass, get the job done, take no prisoners, folks. BTW, is MAggie still at all active in politics? I would not expect so, just thought I'd ask.

Cheers.
