(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.

BTW, is MAggie still at all active in politics? I would not expect so, just thought I'd ask.

Semi-retired. Her doctor advised her not to do so many public speeches, so she doesn't. She still writes from time to time, and she sits in the House of Lords.

Regards, Ivan

"Islam is a religion of peace."

Actually, I am just about to conclude that Islam is actually a religion of pieces . . . as in body parts, that is.

Please don't forget the BLUE DRESS.

You're right, he would be perverse enough to keep that as a momento.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting anyone in the British military, although I've known a SEAL and a number of Rangers and Special Forces gentlemen. I've read that the SAS is about as good as it gets."

Charlie Beckwith formed America's Delta Force after doing an exchange stint with the SAS. I don't think there's much debate about how great the SAS is. They are (from what I've read - I'm just a keyboard commando...) the ultimate anti-terrorist device...

You BASTARDS. We are going to KILL the LOT of YOU.

Stay safe, FRiend.

BTW, is there a system in place in the UK similar to or different from the "terrorism alert system" that was implemented here in the US some months back? And if, so, is it as vague (due to PC "concerns") as what has been established here? -- e.g. "We have secret information pointing to a possible terrorist attack by unmentionable terrorists that we can't tell you anything about. We are currently at Yellow Alert, which means you should be afraid, but we really can't offer you any advice as to what you should do to protect yourself and your family, friends, neighbors, and countrymen. We will soon reach Red Alert, which means you should be VERY afraid, but we still can't offer you any advice. We are purposefully being vague because we are too spineless to tell you the truth, which is that you should arm yourselves to the teeth, and keep a careful watch out for suspicious behavior by swarthy males between the ages of 15 and 55, because they vicious, subhuman, evil monsters who are plotting to murder you, your family, your friends and neighbors, and your fellow countryman."

Just curious.

my italian friend turned to me and said, "if you shoot the radio, you have not solved the problem."

I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. The practice among the young men of the neighborhood when noticing "yoots" who did not "belong", was to make them feel distinctly unwelcome. Mostly, the "yoots" got out under their own power.

In later years, the custom declined. So did the neighborhood

Greetings, Ivan. Although I was born in New Jersey, and my mother was born in Oklahoma, she was from English-Irish stock. I belive as long as the British and we Americans continue to stand shoulder to shoulder, no enemy can ever defeat us. True, they may bloody us from time to time. But defeat? Never! Channel your anger into saving Britain from the Euro-socialists who want to subvert your national sovereignty to a squishy Euro version of the United States. It is they who invite radical Islamists into your midst and use the club of "racism" to quash dissent.

One other possibility worth considering would be Henry VIII's basic solution to unruly religions, i.e. simply have the governments of the U.S. and England devise official American and English versions of Islam and declare all other versions of islam illegal in the U.S. and England.

Finally! A sensible solution to this madness! I can't see anything wrong with your suggestion. This actually sounds like it might work.

(Though probably the ACLU would declare it unconstitutional.)

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.

Well done and God bless.

These goat grabbing SOBs need to die, just like every other Islamist bastard who has signed up for this madness

The policy for dealing with these monsters should be simple:

1) Torture them mercilessly for information.

2) Execute them.

3) Dump their bodies in the nearest landfill or septic tank.
