I like my terrorist crispy.... like bacon.

Of course we better not jump to conclusions here, even if witnesses report the perps shouting "allah... allah... allah..." it could still be the work of a Christan, Jew or a Buddhist...

...at least according to Daud Abdullah, deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain.

Manchester Evening News (UK):

"Strathclyde Police confirmed officers had raided properties near Glasgow Airport this morning..."

[csvset]

You have to wonder if the two arrested on the M6 were driving a bomb-mobile.

[USF]

Its entirely possible they had reasons not to risk following these individuals or make the arrest in a built up area.

No word on who they arrested to, apart form “26 year old man and a 26 year old woman” (as per CNN).

Of course one of the 3 suspected terrorists, Lamine Adam, who has vanished after being put on a “control order” also happens to be 26 years old.

Good catch UKrepublican. Just heard one of the other perps that is in custody is a 27 year old female.

We’re not taking this seriously enough.
I agree with you on that.
Houston is a crazy town,but I enjoy visiting there.

In north Texas I have see a few mosque’s springing up.
no one is paying attention, the town Of Richardson I think is the cair headquarters. Its a “It wont happen here mentality”

U.K. police make 5th terror arrest

The two men from the Glasgow attack were in police custody Sunday, one of them under guard in the hospital after being engulfed in flames when the Jeep crashed into the airport.

Early Sunday, police arrested two people — a 26-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman — on a major highway in Cheshire, northern England, in a joint swoop by officers from London and Birmingham, Scotland Yard said in London. A fifth suspect was arrested in Liverpool, police there said.

Police said officers were searching a residential area about a mile from the airport. In Houston, a small town just outside Glasgow, police cordoned off the area around a two-story house to search it.

Kenny MacAskill, Scotland's justice secretary, said the two Glasgow attackers were not "born and bred here."

"Any suggestion to be made that they are homegrown terrorists is not true," he said.

Lord Stevens, London's former police chief, called it a major escalation in the campaign waged by Islamic militants.

In a column in Sunday's News of the World newspaper, he wrote that the terrorists are using "the same technology, the same bomb-making techniques, the same operating methods as their brothers-in-arms in both Baghdad and Bali," referring to the 2002 and 2005 attacks on the Indonesian resort island that killed more than 200 people.

John Smeaton, who saw the attack, said the man shouted "Allah, Allah" as he was detained.

Thanks for the info.
A quote from our mayor:
“In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims,”

It strikes me that most of the demos we’ve seen recently supporting the beheading of the Pope and Danish cartoonists were not largely populated by Buddhists.

I read on Sky News website last evening that the terrorists were wearing “boiler suits”. What does this mean? The guy in the photo just above looks like his may have “boiled” off?

[TexKat]

Sky news reports controlled blast at Scotland Alexandria Hospital. One of suspected airport attackers was taken there yesterday.

All you ever wanted to know about boiler suits:

Sky reporting a “controlled explosion” at the Paisley hospital.

[SelmaLee]

Thanks, I guess this fellow wasn’t wearing one made of Nomex.

[USF]

Thanks.

Hmmm... I wonder if they identified anything suspicious inside the vehicle or were simply being cautious with an unclaimed vehicle.

After all, they took the time to use robot on the vehicle which was towed to Park Lane and preserved evidence.

Police reporting raids in Newcastle-Under-Lyme.

(Different place from the Newcastle where the airport was placed on high alert early doors yesterday).

[UKrepublican]

Just heard that myself.

Raids going on all over the place - police confirm that the car is connected to glasgow incident.
