THE Bank of England, Britain's central bank, has frozen the accounts of 19 of the 24 men arrested in a alleged terror plot, and publicly released their names.
"The Bank of England ... has today directed that any funds held for or on behalf of the (19) individuals ... must be frozen, and that no funds should be made available, directly or indirectly to any person, except under the authority of a licence," the bank said today.
"Financial institutions and other persons are requested to check whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold any funds, other financial assets, economic benefits and economic resources for the individuals named in the Annex and, if so, they should freeze the accounts or other funds and report their findings to the Bank of England."
Some 24 men were arrested yesterday in raids after Britain said it had thwarted a plot to wreak "mass murder" by simultaneous mid-air bombings of commercial airliners travelling to the US.
The 19 men named by the Bank of England were Ahmed Abdula Ali, Cossor Ali, Khuram Shazad Ali, Nabeel Hussain, Tanvir Hussain, Umair Hussain, Umar Islam, Wassem Kayani, Abdullah Assan Khan, Arafat Waheed Khan, Adam Osman Khatib, Muneem Abdul Patel, Tayib Rauf, Usman Muhammed Saddique, Assad Sarwar, Ibrahim Savant, Asmin Amin Tariq, Mohammed Shamin Uddin, and Waheed Zaman.
Yes, but have their panty-head rights been violated? Are they getting appropriate prayer mats and Torahs? Please, I'm VERY concerned about this!
Boy, wait till the New York Times hears about THIS!!!
Don't you mean Korans??
No, I meant Torahs. I'm sure they would appreciate it. Heh heh heh...
What a nice collection of beautiful Slavonic names! Or are they Norwegians, after all?
LOL..........just about as many vowels involved.
Can you hear that barn door slam echoing into the empty stalls.
Excellent.
Why weren't the funds of the other 5 frozen?
I'd say freeze their assets like Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man.
There is one more point to consider: moslem community in UK is several million strong. Given such numbers, it is likely that at least some of those listed have full namesakes. To focus the effort, increase its success and avoid confusion, it would be desirable for the Bank of England to release more identification info.
Yes, but will their ass(ets) be prompty thrown in jail and humanely shot?
Preppies go through worse every Rush. Tonight, US citizens are being treated worse in some county jail.
No kidding. But you can be sure some dorky dem will be whining about "We can't become like the enemy" or whatever (while calling us Nazis).
Political correctness will be the death of this nation.
right you are ! let's detain them in a good walk-in freezer
Not one bloke named Bob or Tom or Allen or Stanley Cuthbert-Smythe. What kind of Englishmen are these?
