British fail to extradite enemies within

"A Moroccan militant, Mohammed al-Guerbouzi, emerged as a potential bridge between the Madrid cell and London Islamic extremists.

The Moroccan authorities allege that al-Guerbouzi, now a British citizen who has lived in London for many years, is one of the leaders of the Group of Islamic Combatants of Morocco and is a suspect in the Casablanca bombings. Al-Guerbouzi is said to be a regular worshipper at a west London community centre.

Security sources in Britain have confirmed that al-Guerbouzi has been living in Britain for more than a decade, but say that, while they were aware that the Moroccan authorities 'take exception' to al-Guerbouzi, the authorities have not been presented with sufficient evidence that he was involved in any terrorist attack."

Christopher Hitchens thinks the London attackers may have been homegrown. In an article in Slate, Hitchens argued the attacks were timed to coincide with specifically British public events, the G8 meeting in Edinburgh, the successful Olympic hosting bid and the imminent extradition trial of the hook-handed Mullah Abu Hamza al Mazri. Therefore:

As Putin says, the WEST is not really serious yet about the War on Terror!!!

President Bush needs to take Prime Minister Blair aside and explain something to him. This is WAR, not law enforcement. Maybe we should offer to send John Ashcroft over there to help them round up the terrorists and stop worrying about the other critters who share the swamp they in which they live.

The Anticipated Attack Don't blame Iraq for the bombings.

I feel so sad for the British people who were hurt or lost loved ones. I hope they find the terrorists who did this and fry them!

Right, see link at #26.

If the Moroccan authorities could get their hands on this creature, they'd convince him to speak out. As it stands, this despicable cur has hidden behind the protections the British Crown offers. The Moroccan Crown would like to nail this walking feces pile. Hmm, I think now, the Brits might want to help this fellow find his way home.I'm sure his welcoming committee will throw him a lovely party.

"Mr Clarke said: "The aim of the terrorists to try and stop us leading our lives as we best can and I think our responsibility is to try and get on and live our lives as we can."

Nothing to see here....everybody go buy a car.

The press is just exagerrating things. Terrorist attacks can't be prevented. Pretty soon we will hear Germany to have a terrorist attack. How could you prevent it? The people killed in these terrorist attacks is peanuts compared to the people killed in WWII. The best thing the press should do is to advise people to pray. That's the best solution.

Are you saying that terrorist attacks can't be prevented or that the press is pushing that?

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

When they know the names of some of the perpetrators hours after the attack...it means, they knew they where dangerous, but hesitated to act.

You can't do anything until they commit a crime. /sarcasm

Yes, and the Lord helps those who help themselves. The best solution is to return to the times when our country absolutely refused to allow certain ethnic and foreign people(s) in. Period. We need to round up all the rag heads and send them packing. Those who were born here need to be tracked and NO MORE should every be allowed in. Will we wake up and do this? No. Too stupid and lily-livered.

I understand youir sentiments but we are not Islamic, Nazie or Communist Murders, punish the guilty not who ever comes to hand.

Three significant downsides for Al Qaeda from this attack.

1. The Advice and Reformation Committee, AQ's PR arm, along with all of the Muslim community in London, are going to take a serious hit, probably already are as I type this.

2. At least 80% of the international ill will over the Iraq war evaporated with this attack. None of the G8 leaders will be able to dissociate their presence with the timing of this attack. Their grey faces on TV today substantiate this.

3. The cell phones, the unexploded ordinance, the timers, the witnesses, the big ears at NSA and elsewhere, all the intel will coalese towards those nations supporting AQ leadership for this attack. (My money's on Iran)

Relations between Britain and that nation will....chill.

Or perhaps heat up.

The police here in the UK have been pretty successful so far in preventing this, they've stopped multiple attempts that w know about already, but we all knew we could expect one to get through. Now the issue is putting them out of business.

Mr Blair himself said "Not if, but when it happens" and as you probably saw, our emergency services, well used to bombings because we've had quite a lot over the years, were prepared and our citizens behaved with calm determination.

We all knew this was the price of our support, some of us here thought it worth paying, others in the UK never did.

I doubt this will change many opinions in either group.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

We decided to do this, to cause the civilians to pressure the government and military how high the price of war was....to stop. It worked.

Dresden was the same. It didn't work in the short run.
