Desperate, desperate to be evil! When I first heard that the Islamists that carried out the 9/11 massacre were desperate, I wanted to find out what it means, does IT refer to the huge sums of money Al Qaida has fed their families, to the sex with dhimmis before the act, or their private, relatively, normal material conditions. When I heard about propagandists whining hypocritically about "desperate" Arab Muslim 'Palestinian' genocide bombers' "plight", I was very curious if it refers to the various cases of those having a relative normal and even established life or to those radical clerics, that...

- Most Muslims have "theories" about 9/11 Islamists' massacre. - 99.99% of Muslims that "denounce" [if at all] Islamic terror massacres on non Muslims, imply the word "but". - Most Arabs are so racist, most Muslims are so intolerant, they just can't bring themselves to be grateful to the US for rescuing Iraqi Arab men, women & children from the butcher & torturer of Baghdad: Saddam Hussein. - There was not one shred of gratitude from any known Muslim leader or group for US & Europe's rescuing of Bosnian Muslims in the 1990's. But on the contrary! - There was...

LONDON An alleged al Qaeda terrorist plotting a bomb attack on Britain told accomplices to sell contaminated beer at soccer games or poisoned hamburgers from street vending stalls, an FBI informant told a court Friday. Waheed Mahmood, 34, accused with six other British men of plotting a terror strike, claimed during a meeting in Pakistan that he had already tested the poison plan, said the witness, Mohammed Junaid Babar. Babar, 31, a U.S. citizen of Pakistani descent, has testified that he met a group of British Islamic militants in Pakistan who planned to bomb Britain's electricity network, a London nightclub...

A senior colleague of Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair has backed his account of the aftermath Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes's fatal shooting by police. Sir Ian's claim he did not realise Mr Menezes was not a terrorist until the day after he died has been questioned. But ex-Deputy Assistant Commissioner Alan Given told the Observer it took 24 hours to confirm his innocence. Meanwhile, the Met Police has denied another newspaper story claiming Sir Ian was in line for a £34,000 bonus. In a statement released following a story in the Sunday Telegraph, the Met Police said no...

ISN SECURITY WATCH (15/01/06) – A source in the Bosnian State Prosecutor’s Office has told ISN Security Watch that British anti-terror investigators are due to arrive in the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, this week to investigate a Bosnian link to the 7 July bombings of London’s transport network that killed 52 people, including the suicide bombers. The high-ranking source said the British investigators were interested in four British citizens of Afro-Asian origin who had been under surveillance in Bosnia, one of which is believed to be the brother of one of the London suicide bombers. British anti-terror investigators are scheduled to...

Claims that one of the July 7 suicide bombers left a six-figure fortune mystified investigators last night. A report in The Sun said that Shehzad Tanweer, 22, who detonated a bomb on the Underground at Aldgate station, killing eight people, had an estate valued at £121,000 net of taxes and debts. Yet Tanweer, a British national of Pakistani descent, was a student until 2004 and worked for a few hours a week as an assistant in the fish and chip shop run by his father in Beeston, Leeds. Questions were being asked how he could possess assets of such value....

SPYMASTERS warned Tony Blair before the July 7 suicide bombings that Al-Qaeda was planning a “high priority” attack specifically aimed at the London Tube. A leaked four-page report by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), which oversees all spying, is the first definitive evidence that the intelligence services expected terrorists to strike at the Underground. The disclosure will fuel critics’ suspicions that Blair decided to rule out a public inquiry into the bombings last week because it could expose intelligence failings at the highest level. The document, marked Top Secret and signed off by the heads of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ,...

LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct 27 (Reuters) - The remains of one of the four suicide bombers blamed for the deadly July 7 attacks in London were quietly buried on Thursday in a Pakistani village of his ancestors, relatives said. The mother of Shehzad Tanweer brought the remains of her son on a flight on Wednesday from London to Lahore, capital of the central province of Punjab, according to an Interior Ministry official. They were then driven to Chhotian Kota village, where the remains were to be buried at a local Islamic saint's shrine. Tanweer was one of three British Muslims of...

LONDON, (AFP) - A man who fled to Italy after allegedly trying to set off one of four bombs in a botched attack in London on July 21 was to appear in court in the British capital charged with attempted murder. Hussain Osman, a 27-year-old Briton of Ethiopian origin, landed in London on Thursday aboard a private plane from Rome after losing his two-month legal battle against extradition from Italy. Three alleged co-conspirators -- suspected of trying to repeat the bombings on three London subway trains and a bus that killed 56 people on July 7, including the bombers --...

Al-Qaida number two Ayman al-Zawahiri has dismissed the legitimacy of Afghanistan's parliamentary elections in a new tape broadcast by Aljazeera. In the tape, Al-Zawahiri played down US accomplishments in Afghanistan, saying it had just managed to move Taliban's government from Kabul to the mountains and countryside. The tape aired by Aljazeera was produced by al-Sahab Productions which usually distributes al-Qaida's videos. The taped interview of al-Zawahiri had appparently been conducted to commemorate the fourth anniversary of September 11 attacks on Washington and New York. "What did they do, they drove Taliban's government out of Kabul, but it has been active...

MOSUL, Iraq -- A terrorist captured near the Syrian border last month had a computer "thumb drive" that contained planning information about the July 7 suicide bombings in London, according to a U.S. military officer. Col. Robert Brown, commander of the 1st Brigade 25th Infantry Division in Mosul, said that the man was captured north of Qaim in western Iraq and that authorities had connected him to the al Qaeda terrorist network. It is the first evidence of a link between the London bombs and terrorists in Iraq, but fits with other evidence of a growing presence in Iraq by...

THE man intelligence experts believe may be the "missing link" between the London suicide bombers and the al-Qaeda network is set to be extradited to Britain from Pakistan. The government yesterday revealed that British and Pakistani diplomats are on the verge of signing the countries' first ever extradition treaty. Zeeshan Siddiqui, 25, a British national who was arrested in Pakistan in May, is expected to be among the first to face extradition. Another six detainees, mostly Pakistani nationals, might also face extradition. The Home Office yesterday said negotiations on the treaty were in their "final stages". As well as possibly...

The Home Office today issued a paper explaining how monitoring private telephone calls, e-mail and internet use has helped police to trap suspected terrorists and criminals. The research was published to back up Britain's calls for new EU laws requiring telecoms companies to keep such data for at least a year. Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, was in Strasbourg today in an attempt to win over sceptical MEPs. After the London bombs on July 7, the European Commission agreed to speed up plans for common rules on the use of data. EU justice and interior ministers are due to discuss...

A BRITISH-based Saudi extremist has taken down a website on which he was displaying footage of three Black Watch soldiers being blown up by a suicide bomber in Iraq. The website run by Mohammad al-Masari, who has lived in Britain since 1994, largely consisted of material supporting action by Al-Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents against westerners. Now, anyone logging on is greeted by Masari’s “obituary” for his website, which he complains he has been forced to remove because of the recent government crackdown against militants. “Unfortunately we had to suspend big parts of our electronic site until this inquisition blows over...

Britain is proud of its global and deserved reputation as a tolerant, multi-cultural society where people of all nationalities, backgrounds and faiths live in peace and friendship. The unified and calm response of the British people to the terrorist attacks in London last month – in which the victims were of all faiths and none – underlined the tolerance and strength of our society. While there have been isolated and completely unacceptable acts of religious and racial hatred, the overwhelming response of our population was that these attacks were the work of a few fanatics, not of any section of...

Home Secretary Charles Clarke says he will unveil new plans to crack down on "preachers of intolerance and hatred". The measures are expected to include the power to shut mosques where clerics are thought to back terrorism and the deportation of suicide bomb advocates. Writing in the Evening Standard, he said the powers will be revealed and acted on in the next few days. He said the moves, referred to soon after the 7 July attacks, were needed as "the rules of the game" had changed. The announcement of new measure to strengthen British security had been widely expected. Last...

How could 62,040,606 Americans get it so wrong? So wailed a tee-shirt slogan last November. The reference, of course, was to the votes garnered by US President George Bush, which gave him a second term. If something does not happen to change attitudes — and very quickly at that — I expect to see another tee-shirt on my next trip to London bearing the slogan: How could 1.6 million Muslims get it so wrong? In the wake of the 7/7 London bombings (and the me-too attempt a week later), everyone expected the Muslim community in Britain to be contrite about...

Police arrested four people under anti-terrorism laws at Manchester airport late last night. A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said that officers arrested the four - two men aged 48 and 23 and two women aged 48 and 27 - after raiding an address in Dudley, in the West Midlands, yesterday afternoon. The four are being held under section 15 of the Terrorism Act, which relates to providing money or other property suspected of being used for the purpose of terrorism. They are being questioned at a police station in Manchester. The arrests are not thought to be related to...

The wife of Hussain Osman, one of the five suspects in the failed July 21 bomb attack on London, appeared in court today to face a terror charge. Yeshiemebet Girma, 29, wore a black and silver headscarf as she sat in the dock at Bow Street Magistrates Court in central London with her arms folded and fists clenched. Her sister Mulumebet Girma, 21, sat next to her in the dock. She wore jeans, a light blue cardigan, with her hair braided. Both women waved and smiled at relatives in the public gallery as they were remanded in custody to appear...
