Just breaking now on Sky.
Individually and Nationally Britain is fighting for freedom, and all people can talk about is British Gun control.
What has British gun control got to do with America? Especially as the ignorance on Britain is startling.
You are almost right. All the terrorists inside the building were killed, but in the evacuation some of the terrorists tried to pose as hostages and escape down the stairways. They were pointed out by the other hostages and killed by the SAS...except for one. After the evacuation was complete and the hostages were being counted in the grounds, one more terrorist was identified. He (name of Fowzi Nejad) is currently in prison serving a 25 year term. Which means he is probably due for release about now....

"Police 'kill man' on London Tube"
Friday, July 22, 2005; Posted: 6:13 a.m. EDT (10:13 GMT)
LONDON, England (CNN) --
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "London Underground said the Victoria and Northern Lines were suspended.
Meanwhile Friday, police were hunting the bombers who struck London's transport network the day before."
Bump this for more posts.
Oh BTW I sent a fan mail letter to the care of the Arsenals for Fredrik Lunjberg and I had to go to a US Post office to send it then I had to declare what was in the package.
I laughed I am a Fam of the Soccer Player Freddy it is mail.
No not so funny I had to declare the contents...
I hope Fredrik comes to America for a visit.
Leave one alive to tell the others how bad it was.....
I asked you nicely to give it a rest - this is a breaking news thread of some concern to those of us who are in London so could you put your silly ill-informed opinions aside for the morning please?
Ah, Fox says London police are evacuating a mosque. Let's hope they demolish it.
I guess every country has its libs/dims/pc crowd. We certainly have a vocal group here.
Criticizing the policies of our British cousins' government while they are under attack from terrorists is a violation of that rule.
Thank you.
"Telephoned bomb threat to the mosque."
Why'd you do that?
Just kidding. I guess tempers are finally starting to flare up over there.
Fox says the police are evacuating a mosque on Whitechapel Road due to a "bomb threat".
I really don't think so. Its obvious that the police can't take any chances under these circumstances and people really do understand that and any that don't are going to get very short shrift, believe me.
BBC eyewitness: "Oh, he's dead. He's seriously dead."
LOL!
Did you see the report yesterday that they have approved a new sniper rifle? The new one in FULLY automatic with a muliple round clip. Allows for shooting more targets!
How long will it be for "Senator" Durbin criticizes the British police as "Nazis" for not bringing this "dissident" in the Tube crumpets and tea?

"'SUICIDE BOMBER' SHOT"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police have shot a suspected suicide bomber at a tube station in south London.
Reports are also coming in that a mosque in the east of the capital has been surrounded by armed officers and residents told to stay indoors.
In the first incident, marksmen opened fire near Stockwell Tube station as passengers were evacuated. It is thought the man was killed."
MadIvan and most Britons are just as responsible for these attacks as we are for September 11th. Which is to say - NOT.
They did not bring this on themselves, and they are not to be attacked for being attacked. They deserve our eternal gratitude for being our friends and our allies during this war...
Britons are America's true friends, and to insinuate they are less is to denigrate the sacrifice of all those Britons who have given their lives in defense of freedom.
That's Jack The Ripper's neighborhood, IIRC.
