    BEIJING - Police found links to international terrorist groups during a raid on an alleged terror camp in China's restive western Muslim region last week, the Foreign Ministry said Tuesday. Police said they raided a training camp run by the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, or ETIM, in the mountainous Xinjiang region on Friday, killing 18 suspects and arresting 17 others. "There is a large amount of evidence that shows, including evidence we got from this raid, that the ETIM is associated with international terrorist forces," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao. He also said that the group "planned, organized and...

    New Muslim leader's warning as police defend raid decision By John Steele, Crime Correspondent (Filed: 06/06/2006) The new leader of Britain's biggest Muslim organisation said yesterday that trust between the police and the community affected by last week's terrorism raid in east London could break down. Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari was speaking after Scotland Yard insisted that it had "no choice" but to mount the armed raid last Friday, which led to a man being injured and had so far failed to uncover any terrorist material. Andy Hayman, the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner who heads the force's specialist operations department,...

    Terror cell 'was planning nerve gas attack on capital' By Andrew Alderson, Sean Rayment and Patrick Hennessy (Filed: 04/06/2006) Terrorists were planning a chemical attack in London similar to the outrage on the Tokyo underground, according to police and the security services. MI5 operatives suspect that al-Qa'eda sympathisers intended to produce a nerve agent - probably sarin - and release it in a confined space, such as a tube carriage, to maximise the number of casualties. The sarin attack on three railway lines in the Japanese capital killed 12 people and injured more than 5,000 in March 1995. It was...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some members of a group of Canadians arrested on terror-related offenses may have been in contact with two U.S. suspects now in custody who were based in Georgia, the FBI said on Saturday. "There is preliminary indication that some of the Canadian subjects may have had limited contact with the two people recently arrested from Georgia," said FBI spokesman Richard Kolko in an e-mail. Syed Haris Ahmed, 21, of Atlanta, Georgia, was arrested March 23 after a grand jury returned an indictment charging him with material support of terrorism. He has pleaded innocent and has not yet...
  • Muslim names of Canadian terror suspects buried in media reports

    As has now become routine, the mainstream US media has gone to great lengths to conceal and downplay the Muslim identities of the terrorists arrested last night in Toronto, Canada. Reading the stories on AP, Reuters, and other outlets, you come across laughable phrases like "suspects were either citizens or residents of Canada", "Canadian youths in their teens and 20s", "...are Canadian residents from a variety of backgrounds", and so on. This tiptoeing around the real and only identity of the perpetrators is just another example of the sick, twisted mind of the media when it comes to reporting...
