Britain's Al-Qaeda leader seized

SECURITY sources believe that a man arrested in last week’s anti- terror raids in Britain is Al-Qaeda’s leader in this country.

Home Office officials say that one of those arrested is suspected not only of masterminding the foiled plot to bring down up to nine transatlantic airliners, but also of involvement in other planned atrocities over the past few years.

They believe that he was instrumental in sending the ringleader of at least one previous British terror plot for training at a camp in Pakistan last year. He is described by counter-terrorist officials at MI5 as the senior figure in a British terror network involving Kashmiri, north African and Iraqi cells.

Scotland Yard believes that the plan to bring down airliners involved up to 20 terrorists who were planning to smuggle liquid bomb components in hand luggage onto nine British and American passenger jets.

Good, now we can follow by doing the same here. Anyone know where Howard Dean is tonight?

Howard Dean is just Al Qaeda's American chief publicist.

They should release the videos of the scumbags buggering each other and doing their Lewinsky impersonations.

Sadly such videos would probably be a big hit among our deviants.

Is he Arab or Pakistani? That's what I want to know

Don't know about that, but the chances that he is another stinking Muslim is about, oh, I'd say about 100%.

You left out the Grand Derangement.

Eisenhowerand his staff weren't bystanders in the runup to Sicily and D Day, Ike used his command staff as needed. Monty eventually caught up with the ebb and flow of the continental war after the outcome was moot because of ???

Where did you get the idea that the British Police don't have street toughness?

What the hell are muslims doing in the 21st century? blowing up everything they don't agree with!

[hoosiermama]

He is linked to a second suspect also in Britain who has “played a major role in facilitating support for the Iraq jihad”.

All kidding aside, after reading this in the entire article Galloway was the first person to come into my mind.

This is pretty funny - in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, the story from the UK was that the officials didn't even think this was an Al Queda plot and the Americans were jumping the gun!

But perhaps those laws concerning pre-trial preparations were a problem.

Amy Kellogg reported today (around 10 AM EST/9AM CST) the following information:

She gets her news from the local papers like The Independent and not from actual interviews/reporting she does on her own.

The local papers she read say there is no link between the planned terror attacks and Al Qaeda (she pronounced Al Ki-Aida).

She went so far as to say that there is no Al Qaeda threat as such in the UK, but there are a lot of muslims (she pronounced moos-lims).

A thoroughly mindless report from a woman who reads newspapers and tells viewers what she read, and uses other reporters' videos to make it look like she did the leg work.

Welcome to Free Republic.

Time to think about interning Muslims or putting them on a spaceship and sending them all to Pluto.

Thank You!

Why would it make a difference if these vermin are labeled "al queda" or if they are labeled "hamas" or "hezbo" for that matter? Does it make a difference whether you have roaches or some other pest in your kitchen?

Not really, the idea to eliminate the vermin, and make the environment of the kitchen unfriendly to their return. Same here.

Time's past for the UK to dissolve the commonwealth.

Get rid of commonwealth passports...or it already too late?

[PA-RIVER]

Im confused. Who did they arrest?

Was it Keller or Pinch Shulzberger from the NY times?

Has anyone checked Kellers car for track phones or airport maps?

"They arrested Galloway?"
I love it when freepers point out the connection between the left and terrorism!

[auzerais]

At least Amy Kellogg did mention today on FoxNews' WeekendLive program that Quake Money Used to Finance UK Plot.

I wonder if any of the MSM will make any mention of this.
