Al Qaida's Iraq Tactics Now in United Kingdom

"Make no mistake, this weekend's bomb attacks signal a major escalation in the war being waged on us by Islamic terrorists," John Stevens, the former commissioner of the London police, wrote in an article for the News of the World newspaper.

"Initially it was believed the main problem police faced was insulated groups of home-grown extremists, but now it is clear a loose but deadly network of interlinked operational cells has developed."

"The terror of July 7 (2005) was awful enough, but now al Qaida has imported the tactics of Baghdad and Bali to our streets," he said.

"It will get worse before it gets better." Full story...

THANKS for the ping Ian. Please keep me on your ping list. I don’t have regular access to a ‘puter but always look for your pings when I do have access.

This weekend’s events should be yet another reminder that we should prepare ourselves for further attacks.

Please folks, take the time to THINK about what you would do in the event of an attack. How would you handle a prolonged utility(power, water, gas) outage? What would you eat? Where would you get your water? How would you stay warm? THINK!!!

IMHO, any attack(s) would be localized but could produce regional effects (power grid, etc). If you can stay put, stay put. You are safest at home. If you do have to evacuate, it should not take longer than 15 minutes.

Those with kids or pets need to take them into consideration.

My homepage has a pretty good list of ideas for starters, but there are better resources. USE THEM!

I feel that folks in urban areas are at greatest risk. We folk out here in the country are well armed and have a low tolerance for this sort of thing.

Again, use your brain. THINK about your situation and plan accordingly.

Stay safe my FRiends!

Thanks so much for continuing this thread Ian.

Things appear to be heating up I heard ABC reporting there are “Spectacular Events” predicted but the White House OF COURSE is denying it. I hope for all our sakes they are right.
