UK: Tons of Hizballah explosives in secret bomb factory uncovered in London Terrorists with links to the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah have reportedly been caught stashing tons of explosive materials in London. “The amount of ammonium nitrate reportedly found was more than that used in the Oklahoma City bombing” 24 years ago, in which at least 168 people were killed and over 680 others injured. This is merely a warning of more to come. The advancement of jihadists in the UK — and in fact most of the West — was facilitated by Leftist leaders who believe to this day...

Terrorist TV: The bad, the ugly, the boring and the stupid By RACHEL MARSDEN Toronto Sun, Sunday, July 8, 2007 Iran has just launched Press TV, its 24-hour English language satellite news channel to counter what Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls western "propaganda." So I've decided this week to take my own romp through the Islamic world, to counter Press TV propaganda. Infidels like legs: Want to win hearts and minds, Press TV? Lose the hijab. Infidels don't dig it. Neither, apparently, do a lot of Muslim radicals. Ask any counter-terror agent about the disproportionate time spent following suspects...

Evil doctors are nothing new By PETER WORTHINGTON Toronto Sun, Saturday, July 7, 2007 There is still horror and disbelief that eight medical people were arrested in connection with the bungled car bomb attempts in London and the Jeep Cherokee attack on Glasgow airport. Although it's well established that the sort of terrorism loose on the world today is not from the downtrodden or oppressed (as mythology contends), but provoked by middle class or elite individuals, it is still shocking to think doctors can kill. We like to think of doctors as people committed to the Hippocratic oath to...

Myth shattered By MICHAEL COREN Toronto Sun, Saturday, July 7, 2007 It has been a week for murderers, hypocrites and heroes. In Britain a group of Muslim doctors and medical students have been arrested in connection with a series of attempts to murder thousands of innocent people waiting to board aircraft or, sin of sins, dancing in a club. Commentators were incredulous that people of science sworn to do none harm should apparently act thus. Fools. The doctors' unions in Egypt and Jordan are dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, a fascist group that preaches jihad. The second in command...

Indian Doctor Arrested in U.K. Terror Plot Manhunt Authorities Arrested Muhammad Haneef in Australia July 3, 2007 — The investigation into the failed British terror plot is widening. The latest arrest came Monday in Australia, where authorities captured 27-year-old Muhammad Haneef as he was trying to board a flight at Brisbane Airport.

Twisted young British parents planned to sacrifice their precious baby in the evil cause of jihad by mass murder. Fanatical terror suspect Abdula Ahmed Ali, 25, and his wife, Cossor, 23, are among those being interrogated by police as suspects in the massive plot to attack trans-Atlantic flights in midair. What the outwardly normal couple had secretly plotted is almost too horrifying to consider, cops said. The Alis planned to use 6-month-old son Zain's baby bottle as a liquid bomb, blowing themselves and their child up, along with hundreds of others aboard the flight. [snip] To their stunned friends and...

The Left has no answer to London plot By Mike Gallaghertownhall.com Friday, August 11, 2006 I had a really weird reaction to the news that British authorities thwarted a massive terror attack on scores of American and British passenger airliners this week. Naturally, I felt a wave of appreciation and pride for the intelligence gathering personnel who managed to head off this latest evil scheme. I was enormously relieved that countless men, women and children were spared a terrible death by the maniacal Islamic extremists hellbent on slaughtering the innocent. But I immediately wondered what Cindy Sheehan and Ned...

Suspects watched since last year Alleged plot involved liquid explosives in drink containers, soap bottles Joseph Brean National Post Friday, August 11, 2006 24 suspects arrested by British police in connection with alleged plot to set off "multiple explosions on multiple planes." 10 flights were reported to be the sites of explosions to occur in waves as planes headed to cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. 3,500 passengers is about what 10 fully loaded airliners would hold. As one official put it, the plot involved "mass murder on an unimaginable scale." CREDIT: Kagan Mcleod, National...

The five new arrests in Pakistan brought the total suspects held there to seven. A Pakistani official...
