"Let's all just get along is NOT in the Jihadist's handbook".
aint that the truth
..because this could never happen in the U.S.
Never said that. I am sure it could. I a pretty sure it would happen right here in Detroit, too. But then again, my ride to work isnt slowed by Muslims holding rallies in either a) protest or b) a plea for a Muslim state in England...because this could never happen in the U.S.
Either way, sucks to be England.
Nothing to see here. Keep moving along. Just those wacky terrorists having a little fun. Boys will be boys ya know. [/far left]
Are you confused again?
Great work by the British to this point. Hopefully, they completely foiled the plot.
I don't care about the politics of who is credited with the apparent success of the investigation or the politics of how this apparent success is spun over the long haul. That's all grown very tiresome to me.
This is a good thing; I think we should all see it for that, without regard to personal policy choices or which party any of us tends to side with most frequently.
(sorry to all -- that's not particularly eloquent)
"Far left" = fanatical democrat.
What are you doing here if you don't even understand the basics?
Muslims shocked but sceptical over terror plot
LinkMuslim groups today reacted with a mixture of shock and scepticism at the announcement by police that they had broken up a major terrorist plot to bomb airliners.
Khurshid Ahmed, a member of the Commission for Racial Equality in Birmingham where some of arrests took place, expressed relief that an attack had been foiled.
...
However Fahad Ansari of the Islamic Human Rights Commission said that many Muslims would be sceptical about the police statement.
In the past high profile arrests – such as the Forest Gate raid or the alleged plot to bomb Old Trafford football stadium – had failed to produce any evidence of terrorist activity.
...
He suggested that the raids could even have been timed to distract attention from the criticisms of the British government’s stance on the Lebanon crisis.
CNNWASHINGTON (CNN) -- Terrorists planned to use MP3 players and energy drinks to blow up as many as 10 jetliners bound for the United States, authorities said Thursday.
A senior congressional source said it's believed the plotters planned to mix a "British version of Gatorade" with a gel-like substance to make an explosive that they would possibly trigger with an MP3 player or cell phone.
Shiiitttt....terra is going McGyver on your ass!
ABC: Three Alleged Ringleaders ID'd
ABC News blogThree of the alleged ringleaders of the foiled airplane bomb plot have been identified by Western intelligence agencies involved in unraveling the plot.
Two of them are believed to have recently traveled to Pakistan and were later in receipt of money wired to them from Pakistan, reportedly to purchase tickets for the suicide bombers.
Sources identify the three, who are now in custody, as:
--Rashid Rauf
--Mohammed al-Ghandra
--Ahmed al Khan
True or not, that was funny.
Yahoo NewsISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan intelligence helped British security agencies crack the terrorist plot to blow up U.S.-bound aircraft, a government and an intelligence official said Thursday.
The intelligence official said an Islamic militant arrested near the Afghan-Pakistan border several weeks ago provided a lead that played a role in "unearthing the plot," that helped authorities arrest suspects in Britain.
A senior Pakistani government official also said Pakistan had helped thwart the plot and added the British government was fully aware of Islamabad's role.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Somehow I knew you'd be the first to quote something like this. Suprised you didn't put it in BOLD
Wait till these dumbass terrorist decide to move on from airplanes to something else, then we're screwed
kudos to the brits
Well, there goes the exploding Gatorade theory:
REUTERSThe suspects arrested in an airline bomb plot in Britain on Thursday had planned to conceal liquid or gel explosives inside a modified sports beverage drink container and trigger the device with the flash from a disposable camera, ABC News reported on its Web site.
The network, citing U.S. sources, also said five additional suspects in the airline bomb plot foiled by British police were still at large and being sought.
"The plotters planned to leave the top of the bottle sealed and filled with the original beverage but add a false bottom, filled with a liquid or gel explosive," ABC said. "The terrorists planned to dye the explosive mixture red to match the sports drink sealed in the top half of the container."
No comment yet from the Gatorade spokesperson.
Happy to see Pakistan is actively involved.Aslam said the arrests in Britain followed intelligence cooperation between Britain, Pakistan and the United States.
Man, if I can't take an iPod and a Mountain Dew on the plane because of this I'll REALLY be pissed.
It's good to see that the ISI wasn't funding this go-round of terra.Happy to see Pakistan is actively involved.
Its getting to the point where its easier to drive places than to fly.
The similarities to the Bojinka plot leads me to believe a lot of what I've been reading from Peter Lance has a lot of validity to it.
Here are a couple good links: (for the libs, Peter Lance is not a republican)
