FEARS that Islamist terrorists plan to hijack an Indian passenger jet and crash it into a British city helped to prompt this weekend's heightened terror alert.

MI5 was told by the Indian authorities early last week about a suspected plot by militants linked to Al-Qaeda in Pakistan to hijack an Air India or Indian Airlines flight from Mumbai or Delhi.

But "naturally" Obama saw no need to interrogate Abdulmutallab, gave him 3 lawyers instead, just to make sure that we won't find out about any future attacks planned against us.

Geez, my son and his wife have been vacationing in Sri Lanka and then Mumbai and are coming back to San Francisco this weekend.

Yikes!

“MI5 was told by the Indian authorities early last week about a suspected plot by militants linked to Al-Qaeda in Pakistan to hijack an Air India or Indian Airlines flight from Mumbai or Delhi”

OK, so “no specific intelligence” is just a lie. OK, I should have known that.

SNIPPET: “MUMBAI: Hours before Indian intelligence agencies put all flights operating from India on a high alert against possible hijack attempts, two Sri Lankan nationals — one flying to New York and the other to London — were arrested by immigration officials at the Kochi airport on Thursday for carrying forged Indian passports and travel documents.”

The two Sri Lankan nationals were being assisted by two employees of a private multinational ground-handling company.

SNIPPET: “One of the employees fled the scene when the passengers were caught.”

SNIPPET: “The passengers — Transon Dinesh (24) and Chelladurai Chandra Mohan (32) — cleared several airport checks.”

"...uncovered during the interrogation of Amjad Khwaja, a member of a militant Islamist group involved in numerous attacks against India."

what, how can India not respect the importance of reading terrorists their Miranda rights, wrapping them in lawyers, and allowing them to make public propaganda spectacles to promote more terrorism????
