Police: Imminent terror attack on British Jews

Scotland Yard has warned Britain's Jewish community that it faces the threat of imminent terrorist attacks, the US-based Newsweek reported on Sunday.

The report also said some State Department officials are considering issuing an official travel advisory to US citizens planning to visit Britain.

They say there have been no comparable threats against Jewish targets in America.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson said that while the terrorist threat level remains high in Britain, there is currently no intelligence of specific threats.

Newsweek reported that some of the concern about terrorist threats to Britain's Jews appears to relate to suspicious Iranian activities.

It quoted security sources as saying that police had questioned a carload of Iranian "tourists" in recent weeks after they were spotted covertly taking video pictures of obscure Jewish-community buildings in London.

It also quoted sources as saying that about a year ago, Swiss authorities traced a similar surveillance operation involving a Jewish target in Geneva to an Iranian diplomatic mission.

According to Newsweek, some US officials have said that the recent intelligence indicates backsliding in official Iranian attitudes toward Islamic terrorism and al- Qaeda.

It noted that earlier this year Teheran claimed to have arrested significant al-Qaida suspects, whom US officials believed to have been top aides to Osama bin Laden, including his son Saad and the al-Qaida military chief Saif al-Adil.

But recent intelligence, reported the newsweekly, suggests these suspects have been released and have returned to hideouts in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Sounds like those Iranians who terrorized the Jews in Argentina.

Seems to me that Israel would use this as a justification to bomb Iran, big time!

We have our own home-grown neo-nazi anti-Semitic jew haters or wanna-bes, who occasionally vandalize temples or businesses. Fortunately, most Americans rally against such ethnic actions by these despicable few. As to whether the two groups (neo-nazi's and radical islamics) will join forces here in the US to take physical action against Jewish targets, I would consider that improbable because the neo-nazi types hate most non-white groups as well as Jews.

[yonif]

However, in France for example, the neo-nazis have allied up with the Muslim Jew Haters.

Oh, quit your whining, we're invisible now.

Europe has gone the farthest into the diversity black hole. Now that they have, ain't diversity great? /s

[OXENinFLA]

Does anyone have the pic of Muslims hanging out a window (in Britain) w/ a banner that says:

"BRITAIN WILL BE ISLAM"

In the name of diversity, we are all becoming exactly the same.

[Libertina]

Yes, except that some of "us" have special rights of speech, employment, education, and some of the "diverse" people fly planes into buildings and carry out terrorist bombings... er.. "freedom fighting activites," but those are small discrepancies...

Yeah, it's kind of funny: if white supremists attack Jews, folks are outraged. But if Muslims attack Jews, that's different. It's like Jews are step two on the Whiteness continuum, and if they are attacked from "above," they are a beleagured minority, but if they are attacked from "below" they become part of the White Hegemony. Ditto Asians and Hispanics.

Keep us posted on this. Sounds legit, especially considering the attack on Syria and the information about Israel considering action against Iran.
