UK Islamist leader claims Brits ready to carry out 'many attacks'

JERUSALEM – The thwarted car bombings in London last week and the terror attack against Scotland's busiest airport were "completely justified" and likely the beginning of many more attacks in Britain, a prominent UK Islamist leader connected to terror supporting groups told WND yesterday.

"There is no doubt whatsoever that there will continue to be attacks against the British government, its interests and the home front as long as we see the continued British and American occupation of Muslim land in Iraq and Afghanistan, support for criminal Israel, and draconian measures taken against Muslims in the UK," said Anjem Choudary, founder and former chief of two Islamic groups disbanded by the British authorities under antiterror legislation.

"A war is being waged against Muslims on every level. There are many in Britain who take their ideology from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida and are ready to carry out many more attacks," Choudary said.

Choudary said the attempted terror attacks the past few days were "probably carried out by local British Muslims."

Choudary currently presents himself as an Islamic lecturer and a leader of Britain's Shariah Islamic court. He is a founder and former chief of Al Muhajiroun, a British group that sought to impose an Islamic state on the UK and that was allied with the goals of al-Qaida.

Al Muhajiroun, officially disbanded by the British government citing antiterrorism laws in 2004, and its main leader, Omar Bakri Muhammad, were banned from the UK in 2005. Choudary then became a leader of Al Ghurabaa, which was reportedly a continuation of Al Muhajiroun. Al Ghurabaa was banned in 2006 by the UK for reportedly supporting terrorism.

Former Al Muhajiroun members led by Choudary reportedly continue their activism at public protests and on Internet forums under a new banner group called Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.

Choudary last weekend led a protest outside London's Central Mosque attended by WND and Talk Radio Network's "The Rusty Humphries Show." The protest called for the downfall of the British government for offering knighthood to novelist and essayist Salman Rushdie, who was accused by Muslims of defaming Islam and Muhammad in his 1988 book "The Satanic Verses."

Depictions of British flags were burned at Choudary's protest. Ralliers chanted, "Down with Britain, down with the Queen."

Choudary told WND the perpetuators of the attempted terror attacks in London the past few days "have their own justifications for carrying out their plans."

"Muslims in Britain are under siege. There has been unjustified internment, innocent Muslims are in prison, extradition laws have been applied for made up crimes, individuals are arbitrarily arrested. .. Don't be surprised when Muslims fight back," he said.

British police said they arrested five people yesterday in conjunction with the airport attack carried out by two men driving a fuel-filled Jeep rammed into Scotland's busiest airport. Police called the incident a terrorist attack linked to failed car bombings in London last week. The two men in the Jeep, who witnesses described as Asians, were immediately taken into custody. According to reports, one of them men was wearing an explosive device around his waist, said to be a suicide-bomb belt.

The airport attack came barely 36 hours after police thwarted what is being described to the media by security officials as a possible al-Qaida plot in London in which two cars loaded with fuel, gas canisters and nails were left in the center of the city poised to detonate.

Newly installed British Prime Minister Gordon Brown addressed his nation yesterday, stating Britons must realize the terrorist threat their country faces is long-term and sustained and that they must remain constantly vigilant about security.

The British Home Office raised the national security alert level to "critical," the highest ranking and one which indicates further attacks are expected imminently.

"I want all British people to be vigilant and want them to support the police and all the authorities. ... I know the British people will stand together united, resolute and strong," Brown said.

The last terror attack in Britain took place in July 2005, when four British Islamists blew themselves up on London's transport system, killing 52 commuters.

'Doctors terror gang' trapped by mobile phones

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/017199.php

Poverty Doesn't Cause Terror Update: More on the two arrested doctors and their jihad gang. From the Daily Mail, with thanks to all who sent this in:

A suspected terror gang, at least two of whom are doctors, were being questioned today after being trapped by their mobile phones.
Anti-terrorist detectives swooped on five members of the gang across Britain after gathering crucial clues from phones found in the two London car bombs.

The phones were meant to trigger a blast when they were called. The bombers twice called the car outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub in Haymarket, and the one in Cockspur Street four times, but the bombs failed to detonate for technical reasons.

Traces on the mobile phones' calls led police to addresses in Liverpool, Staffordshire and Glasgow.

Today the suspected members of the al Qaeda terror cell, which arrived in the country a year ago, were being questioned about the plot to launch simultaneous car bomb attacks on London which would have led to the deaths of hundreds of people. Detectives were trying to establish their exact identities.

Police said the links between the London attacks and that in Glasgow, where two men tried to smash a blazing vehicle into the city's airport on Saturday afternoon, were "becoming ever clearer".

One of the Glasgow attackers is believed to be a doctor, possibly an Iraqi. One suffered 90 per cent burns and was too ill to be questioned.

The suspected ringleader of the plot is also a doctor, a Jordanian. Neurologist Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, and his burka-wearing wife, 27, were held in a dramatic operation as they drove on the M6 in Cheshire with their two-year-old son on Saturday.

A fifth suspect - arrested at Lime Street station in Liverpool - was taken to London's Paddington Green police station to be questioned, along with Dr Asha and his wife.

Police are believed to have been alerted to Dr Asha's car after his number plate flashed up on an automatic number plate recognition camera.

Iranian TV: Britain staged Glasgow attack

Iranian TV: Britain staged Glasgow attack

An auspicious beginning for Iran's English TV network.

"'An antidote to Fox': Iran launches English TV channel," by Oliver Burkeman, Helen Pidd and Robert Tait for The Guardian:

Much of yesterday's airtime was occupied by long extracts from a soporifically gentle interview with Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, and a slow-moving documentary about Russian culture. That - rather than the channel's overtly propagandistic tone - seemed likely to prove the biggest obstacle to its success. As Fox News discovered, you do not need to worry too much about the truth, just as long as you keep your reports to 60 seconds, and use a lot of loud music.
Press TV's website took a more forthrightly partisan approach, emulating the design of the BBC News site to an almost spooky degree, but with material to make the BBC blanch. A story about the attempted attacks on London and Glasgow airport, headlined More threadbare propaganda from the west, was a perfectly serviceable account of recent events - until the final paragraphs, where the reporter suggested they were staged by the UK government, in order to tarnish the image of Muslims enraged by the knighting of Salman Rushdie.

Inside Iran, meanwhile, the channel itself did not seem to be available at all. At the launch of Press TV, at the headquarters of state broadcaster IRIB,president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said its goal was to counter "propaganda" peddled by western channels. "Knowing the truth is the right of all human beings but the media today is the number one means used by the authorities to keep control," he said. "We scarcely know a media that does its duty correctly. Our media should be a standard bearer of peace and stability. "


According to "President: 'Press TV' should be close to world oppressed people" from IRNA, while celebrating the launch of the new network Ahmadinejad had this to add:

"The message of media is the same as that of prophets." He went on, "All efforts should be directed so that borders between "truth and false", "selfishness and divinity", and "loving mankind and oppressing, threatening them" could be clearly in front of world people's eyes." Ahmadinejad called such news dissemination as a "diligence and struggle" and said, "The TV which is born today should be beside to the world oppressed people." The president underlined "Disseminating correct and timely news, and presenting correct analyses and disclosing behind scene of the mankind's enemies propaganda networks are among new TV's basic duty."
At least it will be entertaining.

Taheri: "Islamophobia" Idiocy

In "'Islamophobia' Idiocy" in the New York Post (thanks to WriterMom), Amir Taheri skewers Gordon Brown's ridiculous prohibition on calling the terrorists "Muslims," and explains why this politically correct straitjacket is a bad idea:

THE car-bomb/suicide-terror operations in London and Glasgow should have provided a fresh opportunity for reminding everyone, especially Muslims in Britain, that terrorism in the name of Islam still poses a major threat to public peace and safety. Yet this is not what is happening.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown keeps repeating that the attacks have nothing to do with Islam - but, at the same time, keeps inviting "Muslim community leaders" to Downing Street to discuss how to prevent attacks. If the attacks have nothing to do with Islam, why invite Muslim "leaders" rather than Buddhist monks?

Brown hasn't deemed fit to tell it like it is: that Muslims in Britain, indeed all over the world, must come out and condemn terrorism in unambiguous terms.

[...]

If Islam is the religion of peace, then the real Islamphobes are those who planted the car bombs in London and Glasgow - not the poor Brits who are censoring themselves and curbing their hard-won freedoms in order not to offend "the Muslim community."


Read it all.

Muslim group declares 'Terrorists are the enemies of us all'

Muslim group declares 'Terrorists are the enemies of us all'

Last updated at 15:00pm on 3rd July 2007


A leading Muslim organisation today condemned the barbarity of the failed car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow as it called on its faithful to provide "all the necessary support" to prevent terrorism.

Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), said it was the "Islamic duty" not only to utterly and totally condemn such actions, but to provide all the support necessary to prevent such atrocities from taking place.

"The events of the past few days have been very disturbing and challenging ones for all of us," he told a news conference at the MCB offices in east London.

"At the very outset we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the police officers and security experts who were tasked with removing the threat from the explosive devices in London and Glasgow.

"It looks sadly as if the terror threat currently facing our country will be with us for some time to come. So let us be absolutely clear about this, that those who seek to deliberately kill or maim innocent people are the enemies of all of us.

"There is no cause whatsoever that could possibly justify such barbarity.

"Those who engage in such murderous actions and those that provide support for them are the enemies of all, Muslims and non Muslims, and they stand against our shared values in the UK."

Dr Abdul Bari said in his statement that the police and security services had the "enormous responsibility" for trying to ensure the safety of all Britons.

As such, they deserve the fullest support and cooperation of "each and every sector of our society" including all Muslims, he added.

He said the MCB would be convening a meeting at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Regent's Park, London, of key Imams and leading community activists from across the country on Saturday.

At Saturday's meeting they hoped to discuss how they can work better with other partners, including the police to try and undermine and defeat the terrorists who seek to attack us, he said.

"It is our Islamic duty not only to utterly and totally condemn such evil actions, but to provide all the necessary support to prevent such atrocities from taking place," he said.

Who are the car bomb suspects?

"First, do no harm..."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6264230.stm

Who are the car bomb suspects?

Police investigating the failed car bomb attacks on London's West End and Glasgow airport are holding eight people arrested in the UK and Australia. This is what is known so far about those who are being held:





DR BILAL ABDULLAH

Iraqi doctor Bilal Talal Samad Abdullah was arrested at Glasgow Airport on Saturday following the failed car bombing.

He works at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley as a diabetes specialist.


Police inquiries have focused on the Royal Alexandra Hospital

Dr Abdullah qualified in Baghdad in 2004 and first registered as a doctor in the UK in 2006.

He was given limited registration by the General Medical Council (GMC) from August 5 2006 to August 11 2007.

Limited registration is awarded to recent medical graduates and it allowed him to work in Britain for a year, but in accordance with standard procedure, he could not move jobs during that time and had to be supervised.

He lives in Neuk Crescent, Houston, outside Glasgow.


DR MOHAMMED ASHA

A second doctor being held is Mohammed Asha, 26, who lives in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.

He was arrested on the M6 motorway in Cheshire on Saturday night.




Jamil Asha insists his son Mohammed is innocent

Dr Asha is of Palestinian descent but grew up in Jordan.

Dr Asha's father Jamil told the BBC that his son "never showed any signs of growing militancy" during his three-year stay in Britain and called his arrest a "mistake".

He said they "were in phone contact every week" and that his son had been due to visit on July 12 with his wife and their son.



Dr Azmi Mahafzah, who taught Dr Asha at the University of Jordan's medical school for six years, said he was a brilliant student, adding: "I can't even remotely imagine him being involved in extremist activities or terrorism."

I remember him as a liberal thinker who respected other nationalities and religions

Dr Aseel al-Omari

Dr Asha's friend


Asha 'a brilliant student'

Dr Asha won a scholarship to the Jubilee School for gifted children in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Dr Aseel al-Omari, who described herself as a "close friend" of Dr Asha's, attended the same secondary school. She told the BBC: "I remember him as a liberal thinker who respected other nationalities and religions - that's what we were educated in our schools and in our career as doctors."


Security officials in Amman told the BBC that Dr Asha has no previous criminal record in Jordan.

Several newspapers have said he is one of eight children - six brothers and two sisters - three of whom are doctors and one an engineer.

Dr Asha spent his post-qualification year at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

He then moved to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent where he works as a neurologist.

Dr Asha is married with a young son and lives with his family in Sunningdale Grove in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

His wife was arrested with him on the M6 and both are being questioned at Paddington Green police station in London.




MARWAH DANA ASHA

Marwah Dana Asha, the 27-year-old wife of Mohammed Asha, is reported by AFP to be a fellow Palestinian who was trained as a laboratory researcher.

She is the mother of a two-year-old boy.

Dr Asha's father told the AFP news agency that his son and his wife had met at school and married in 2004.

According to Jubilee School records, both had "exceptional records, exemplary social conduct and excellent academic results".

Mrs Asha later studied at the public University of Science and Technology in Jordan's northern city of Irbid, Mr Asha said.

Her mother, Um Abed, told AFP said she was deeply worried about her daughter.

"We are stunned," she said.

"Marwah and Mohammed are not the type who would be interested in political Islam."

Mrs Asha has three brothers and one sister, AFP says.


DR MOHAMMED HANEEF

The man arrested at Brisbane Airport has been identified as Dr Mohammed Haneef, aged 27.


An Indian national, he was detained while trying to board a plane to India with a one-way ticket.

Dr Haneef studied medicine at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Bangalore between 1997 to 2002, achieving a second-class degree.

His family come from a small town 250km outside Bangalore and his late father was a teacher.


Australian authorities said the man was detained at Brisbane Airport



Queensland state leader Peter Beattie confirmed that the detained man had been working as a senior house officer at the Gold Coast Hospital since September 2006.

Before that, he worked at Halton Hospital in Cheshire.

The man answered an advert in the British Medical Journal in March 2006 for a job in Australia, Mr Beattie said.

Colleagues at the Gold Coast Hospital regarded him as "a model citizen with excellent references," he added.

The Times said he moved to the Gold Coast with his wife, living in an apartment building a couple of blocks from the hospital.

Steve Bosher, the manager of the apartment block, told the Sydney Morning Herald Dr Haneef's wife had returned to India earlier this year.

"He was a good tenant, always paying his rent on time and getting home at about 5.30pm," Mr Bosher said.

"I never saw him with anyone, he was very quiet. He was a young doctor at the hospital."

Dr Haneef was employed under Australia's temporary skilled worker scheme.


KHALID AHMED

The second man arrested at Glasgow Airport on Saturday has been named as Khalid Ahmed and is also believed to be a doctor.

He was one of two men arrested at the airport after a burning car was driven into the terminal building.

He is currently under arrest in the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, after suffering burns to 90% of his body.


DR SABEEL AHMED

Dr Sabeel Ahmed, 26, was arrested near Liverpool's Lime Street station on Saturday night.


He is a doctor who has worked at Warrington and Halton hospitals, both part of North Cheshire NHS trust, the BBC has learned.

He trained as a doctor at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Bangalore, India, - the same place Mohammed Haneef who was arrested in Brisbane trained.

He is said to be from Bangalore, according to the Muslim News newspaper.


He is being questioned at Paddington Green.



28-YEAR-OLD MAN
A 28-year-old man was arrested in Paisley on Sunday.

Several media reports say that he is a medical student working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital but officials have not confirmed this.



25-YEAR-OLD MAN
A 25-year-old man was also arrested in Paisley on Sunday. There are unconfirmed media reports that he too is a medical student at the same hospital.

"The people who cure you would kill you"

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/017243.php

July 4, 2007

"The people who cure you would kill you"

An Anglican cleric says he was told of the Doctors' Jihad Plot (which in itself indicates that, as amateurish as it may have been, it was the result of at least some long-term planning), but won't say by whom. Why not?

"Cleric: 'Al-Qa'eda leader told me of bomb plot,'" by Nicole Martin and Sophie Borland in The Telegraph (thanks to Sr. Soph):

A British cleric in Baghdad last night claimed that an al-Qa'eda leader warned him that "the people who cure you would kill you" months before the terrorist bomb plots in Glasgow and London.
Canon Andrew White, who runs the Iraqi capital's only Anglican parish, claimed that he met an unnamed al-Qa'eda leader on the sidelines of a religious reconciliation meeting in Amman, Jordan.

"He told me that the plans were already made and they would soon be destroying the British," Canon White said. "He said the people who cure you would kill you."

Canon White claimed that he had passed on a general warning, but not the specific words, to an official at the Foreign Office in mid-April.

The Foreign Office said last night that "the official in question does not recall the conversation".

Canon White said he did not learn the identity of the man until after the meeting, and would not disclose it now.

However, he added: "I met the Devil that day."


Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Canon White. But I can't understand how you could possibly jjustify not letting anyone know who exactly he is.

The Witch Hunt for Docs of Islam Is On!

The Witch Hunt for Docs of Islam Is On!

by Cathy Garger


http://www.opednews.com




In Orwellian times such as these, we need to be always on the lookout for new manipulations of public perceptions in the mainstream media. What's bad can be reliably predicted to be turned into good, and whatever was good will, in all certainty, be turned into something horrible!

It appears that such an effort is taking place in the news with regard to the rounding up of the unusual suspects in the car bombings and other supposed foiled plots this past week in the UK.



Notice that all the attention is on the group we have come to respect and trust most... physicians and other health care workers in the medical profession. Historically, it has been medical personnel who we have been able to look to in order to receive truth, compassion, and concern for our well-being. Universally, we have come to count on the medical profession to deal with us reliably - and to administer to our health.

In the case of the events this week in London and Glasgow, the eight individuals being made out to be villains who are being detained - with and without arrest - are reported to be primarily Islamic extremists within the medical profession.

We are, in fact, told by The NY Times: http://tinyurl.com/2zccbj "The apparent links to medical workers has troubled many Britons, who are used to thinking of the profession as a bastion of trustworthiness and benevolence, even in an era when many of the workers at National Health Service hospitals are foreigners.

For the public, moreover, the well-educated health professionals arrested in the case so far were a baffling departure from the images of home-grown Islamic terrorists implicated in past plots, who have often been people on the fringe of society with family roots in Pakistan."

According to several reports, those who know the detained and arrested physicians and medical workers are of the finest character, lead exemplary lives, and are the last people in the world anyone would have believed would carry out plots to harm others.

It doth appear that a monster is being created out of the image of Muslim doctors and health workers. Why oh why could this possibly be? Perhaps it is because those who we trust to bring us the truth about the devastating health effects of Uranium munitions used by the US, the UK and Israel (or Depleted Uranium, as it is often called) are (surprise, surprise!) physicians and health workers of Islam.

By discrediting the entire medical profession of Islamic faith, some measure of public doubt upon these professionals can be manufactured. In doing so, both the character and credibility of Muslim health care workers can be called into question when they issue reports concerning birth defects, miscarriages and still births, cancers, diabetes, immune system disorders, respiratory conditions, and other Uranium-related casualties caused by those waging radiological warfare against the Middle East.

When physicians and health care workers are demonized in the public’s perception as the newest radical, extremist "terrorist threat"? Then this population, consisting of those who speak up and out most passionately - and with the most authority and first-hand knowledge about the radiological crimes being committed against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan - can far more easily be discounted as suspect.

When the truth needs to be suppressed, the messengers of truth apparently need to be destroyed. Thus, the vilification of Muslim doctors and health care workers fully “fits”. In this manner, the message of truth concerning health effects caused by radiological weapons of indiscriminate effects that are causing untold suffering in the Middle East can be effectively destroyed.

For those who conduct these radiological wars - and the psychological operations that go with them - the thinking is that if the truth hurts? Destroy the messenger and pray that the problem (i.e., dissemination of that truth) will go away.

We can only pray -" to the God, Goddess, or Allah of our choice -" the people of the world are not so facile as to be sucked into the purposeful manufacture of mistrust in the professional medical community of Islamic faith. For if given the choice between having faith in our medical healers or faith in those who wage wars against innocents? One must believe that the international community will be able to make the only right and logical choice.

U.K. Muslims Suffer Terror Backlash, Group Says

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=abNL8Zopcxdo&refer=uk

(Corrects to say stab victim was wearing track suit in fifth paragraph.)

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. Muslims and South Asians suffered several reprisal attacks after terrorists tried to explode car bombs in London and murder people at Glasgow International Airport, the Muslim Council of Britain said yesterday.

Over the past week, a Muslim man was stabbed in Manchester, northwest England, a Pakistani-run convenience store was attacked in Glasgow and a premises next to an Islamic center in the Scottish city had an explosive device thrown through the window.

``We've already had some in Scotland, Muslim businesses have been attacked,'' Muslim Council of Britain spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said in a telephone interview. Muslims in the U.K. number 1.6 million, or about 2.8 percent of the population, according to the 2001 population census. The Muslim Council of Britain is an umbrella group founded in 1997 by more than 250 Muslim organizations.

On June 29, police officers dismantled two car bombs made from gas canisters, gasoline and nails parked in London's theater and shopping district. A day later, two men rammed a Jeep Cherokee, filled with flammable material, into a terminal entrance at Glasgow airport. Eight people have been arrested in connection with the plot. All are Muslims who worked in the state-run National Health Service.

Ghulam Mustafa Naz, 47, a Pakistani-Syrian, was stabbed in Manchester's Blackley district on June 30 in a brutal assault, a Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said. No motive has yet been established, the spokeswoman said. He was dressed in a track suit at the time, a police spokeswoman said.

Convenience Store Rammed

In Glasgow, a driver repeatedly reversed a car into the convenience store on July 3, before setting fire to it, a Strathclyde Police spokesman said.

In another attack, a Century 21 real estate agency was targeted with an incendiary device on July 1. The office is next to the Sarajia Islamic Studies center and its back windows are adjacent, John Darrock an agent at Century 21 said.

``Some sort of device was thrown through the upstairs toilet window.'' Darrock said. The intense heat melted the water pipes in the rest room so the fire was extinguished before it was discovered, Darrock said.

The real estate agents was attacked ``by mistake'' and the Sarajia Center next door was probably the intended target, Bunglawala said.

There hasn't been an increase in racial attacks in Glasgow following the terrorist attacks, Strathclyde Police said.

``Individuals are responsible for their actions -- not communities,'' Alex Salmond, Scotland's first minister and head of the Scottish Parliament, told reporters on June 30. ``No community in Scotland should feel threatened or under suspicion because of this incident.''

Doctors used UK house as bomb factory

http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3034

Muslim asylum seeker arrested in separate plot to bomb nightclubs

LONDON (AP) - Police searched for evidence Thursday in a Scottish house that may have been used to produce the makeshift bombs that failed to explode in three attempted terror attacks on London and the Glasgow airport, officials and news reports said.

Community leaders in Scotland appealed for calm after Glasgow police said there had been dozens of racially motivated incidents since the attack on the city's airport Saturday.

At least two of the eight suspects caught so far rented a house a few miles from the airport where two men crashed a gas-laden Jeep Cherokee into barriers outside a terminal the day after two car bombs failed to explode in London, several British news outlets reported, citing unidentified sources.

The two men slept upstairs and used the downstairs as a bomb factory, the outlets said. Officials would not confirm or deny the reports.

Denis O'Donnell of the local Paisley Cab Company told The Associated Press that his taxis had picked up suspect Bilal Abdulla, an Iraqi-born physician, from the house nearly 20 times since May.

Neighbor Susan Hay told the AP that police said they were "stripping" the home Thursday morning to look for fingerprints and other forensic materials. A large tent - set up on Sunday - was hanging over the garage.

Two other suspects were arrested at staff housing at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.

A British security official said authorities were still investigating whether there were any suspects at large who may have on the peripheries of the plot. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.

There have been 38 racist incidents in the Glasgow area since the attack, police said, including beatings and an attack on a white youth by three South Asian youths who believed he was involved in a previous racially motivated attack. A South Asian-owned shop was also set on fire in Glasgow, police said. There were no serious injuries.

Muslim community leader Bashir Maan appealed for calm and said community relations remained strong. "We must remember these people were not from Scotland," he said of the suspects held.

Also Thursday, a subway derailed in the capital during rush-hour, leaving at least 37 people with minor injuries in an incident transport authorities believe was caused by an obstruction on the tracks.

Britain's terrorism threat level has been lowered following the capture of the eight suspects, and a British investigator arrived in Australia to question a detained Indian doctor.

Australian police acting on information from British counterparts arrested Muhammad Haneef, 27, on Monday in the eastern city of Brisbane as he tried to board a flight with a one-way ticket.

Haneef worked in 2005 at a hospital in northern England where another suspect arrested in connection to the failed attacks also worked.

In a separate case, a man was convicted Thursday in Manchester of possessing terrorist training materials, including instructions on using gas canisters to make car bombs.

Prosecutors also said they found material on the computer of Omar Altimimi, 37, that identified nightclubs and airports as "suitable targets." He faces sentencing on Friday. However, police have reported no links between Altimimi, an asylum seeker who came to Britain from the Netherlands, and the recent foiled attacks.

Also Thursday, a group of al-Qaida inspired computer experts received prison sentences for running extremist Web sites. Prosecutors said the group gave advice, including on how to build suicide vests, to would-be terrorists from Web pages run from their London homes.

In the latest terror plots, six physicians are among the eight suspects, including the Iraqi Abdulla, one from Jordan, two from India and a man identified by Royal Alexandra Hospital staff as being from Lebanon. Also in custody are the Jordanian's wife, a medical assistant, and a doctor and medical student thought to be from the Middle East, possibly Saudi Arabia. None has been charged.

Relatives of the Jordanian and his wife have told their families they are "innocent," relatives said Thursday. Mohammed Jamil Asha, 26, and his wife, Marwa, 27, telephoned their families in Jordan separately on Wednesday, relatives said.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh offered his country's help in the investigations during a talk Wednesday with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, said an official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Singh urged Brown to discourage the public from labeling all Indians abroad as terrorists, the official said.

Brown said there will be increased scrutiny of foreigners recruited for their skills, including doctors coming to work for the National Health Service.

"We'll expand the background checks that have been done where there are highly skilled migrant workers coming into this country," Brown told the House of Commons in his first appearance at the weekly prime minister's questions.

Several suspects were on a watch list compiled by the domestic intelligence agency MI5, the British security official said, indicating their identities previously had been logged by agents. The official did not say why they were put on the watch list. The official said Britain's security services are watching about 1,600 people and have details logged on hundreds more.

Two of the suspects - 26-year-old doctor Sabeel Ahmed, whose family in India said he is related to Haneef, and Khalid Ahmed, 27, believed to be from Lebanon - had applied for jobs in Western Australia state, said Geoff Dobb, state president of the Australian Medical Association.

He told the AP the pair had applied to work in the state health system since 2005 but were turned down because "they did not meet the standard required" but that "it had nothing to do with suspicions of any terrorist associations."

British police hunting for bomb plot clues search Scottish house
The Associated Press Wednesday, July 4, 2007
LONDON: Police searching for clues in three car bomb plots investigated a rented house near Glasgow on Thursday where authorities believe the bombs were made, a British security official said.

Authorities believe the house is where the bombs used in two London attempts and on Glasgow airport were made, said the official, on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.

The government lowered the terrorism threat level from critical to severe after the arrest of eight people connected with the three failed attacks, but authorities were still investigating the possibility there may be other suspects on the peripheries of the plot still at large.

With all suspects connected to the medical profession, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has ordered an investigation of the procedures of recruiting foreign doctors.

At least two of the car bomb suspects — most of whom are doctors — are believed to have rented a house just a few miles from the Glasgow airport, where two men crashed a gas-laden Jeep Cherokee into the barriers outside the main terminal on Saturday.

"They did not have a plan B," said Sgt. Torquil Campbell, the officer who apprehended the two at the airport after they attempted to ignite the propane-tank bombs in their car but instead only caused a fiery inferno.

"They both appeared very calm and collected, very assured of themselves," Campbell said on Sky TV. "They had nothing else to do — it was as if they were waiting there to get blown up."

British news outlets, citing unidentified sources, said the two men slept upstairs in the house and used the downstairs to assemble bombs.

Police have refused to identify which suspects lived in the house, but Denis O'Donnell of the local Paisley Cab Company, said his taxis had picked up Iraqi-born physician Bilal Abdulla from the house nearly 20 times since May.

Brian Harvey, a 60-year-old construction worker who lives on the street where the house is located, told The Associated Press he had seen a green sports utility vehicle outside the property that was being searched. Police were still outside the house on Thursday morning.

Neighbor Susan Hay told AP that police said they were "stripping" the house to look for fingerprints and other forensic materials. Ahe large tent set up on Sunday was still hanging over the garage.

A British investigator, meanwhile, was questioning an Indian doctor arrested in Australia.

Australian police arrested Muhammad Haneef, 27, on Monday in the eastern city of Brisbane as he tried to board a flight with a one-way ticket, believed to be to India via Malaysia.

Haneef, who moved to Australia last year, worked in 2005 at a hospital in northern England where another suspect arrested in connection to the failed attacks also worked.

In a case with eerie parallels, a man was convicted Thursday in Manchester of possessing terrorist training materials, including instructions on using gas canisters to make car bombs.

Prosecutors also said they found material on the computer of Omar Altimimi, 37, that identified nightclubs and airports as "suitable targets." He faces sentencing on Friday.

However, police have reported no links between Altimimi, an asylum seeker who came to Britain from the Netherlands, and last weekend's attacks.

Though a linkage could not be totally ruled out, nightclubs are a common terrorist target — evidenced by attacks in Bali — and that plans to build propane bombs are readily available on the Internet, said Bob Ayers, a former U.S. intelligence officer now at London's Chatham House thinktank.

"They've got all the evidence they're ever going to have — there may still information coming in, but it will be based on they've already got, like DNA, from the cars," Ayers said.

Using cell phones recovered from the two Mercedes sedan car-bombs in London and other telephone records, authorities would also be building up a "link analysis" of what calls were made, Ayers said.

"They're recreating the network of all the people involved and building that network using cell phone records, computer records, DNA, fingerprints — anything that will establish who was communicating with whom," he said.

In the recent case, six physicians are among the eight suspects, including the Iraqi Abdulla, one from Jordan, two from India and a man reportedly from Lebanon who trained in Slovakia. Also in custody are the Jordanian's wife, a medical assistant, and a doctor and medical student thought to be from the Middle East. None has been charged in connection with the Glasgow attack or the two bomb-laden cars found, unexploded, in London a week ago.

Ties that bind terror car bomb suspects

Andrew Pierce
Last Updated: 2:25am BST 05/07/2007



A worldwide web of family and professional connections between the alleged car bomb plotters can be revealed by The Daily Telegraph today.


The Middle East connections: Click to enlarge


Three of the eight suspects are members of the same family from the Indian city of Bangalore, while the families of another two were old friends in the Middle East. Several shared homes in Britain. All but one were doctors working in NHS hospitals.

Detectives are still investigating how the alleged members of the cell came together in the UK but the picture that emerged yesterday was of two distinct, close, groups of young Muslim men, devoted to their faith.

What unites them all is their chosen profession, medicine.

Yesterday it emerged that five of the named suspects were encouraged by their parents, all doctors, to move into medicine - one of the most sought-after professions for educated young Muslims in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

In fact, careers in medicine have become so popular in rich Middle East countries, where universal health care is a priority, that there are no longer enough jobs to go round.

It is why thousands of doctors, trained in the Middle East, have migrated to Britain and Europe, where well-paid work is easy to find.

It is now suspected that some may have come to Britain not just to save lives but to take them too. What is disturbing the police is that the NHS may have provided the network they needed to recruit to their cause.

At the centre of the alleged conspiracy is Dr Bilal Talal Abdulla, 27, the passenger in the Jeep Cherokee which erupted in flames after being driven at high speed into the main terminal at Glasgow airport.

Abdulla, who is still being detained by the police, was born in Aylesbury but it was in the bustling streets of Baghdad, where he was brought up, that he was taught to hate the West.

By the time he had graduated from medical school in the Iraqi capital in 2004 his views - already so hardline that reportedly his mother would not dare remove her headscarf in his presence when he was a schoolboy - had become positively toxic because of the US and British invasion.

Years earlier in Jordan the young Abdulla had met Mohammed Asha, 26, the brilliant brain surgeon who was arrested on the M6 in Cheshire on Saturday hours after the abortive Glasgow attack. The two young men had been introduced by their fathers, who were lifelong friends. They never lost contact.

Abdulla qualified to work in Britain in August 2006 but even the most basic security check by the immigration authorities would have uncovered evidence that he was seriously radicalised. Professor Ahmed Ali, of the University of Baghdad College of Medicine who taught Abdulla, said: "Of course I know him. Who does not know him?" He said Abdulla had been one of the most radical students after the war because of his thinking against the US army and his protests all the time. He formed resistance groups inside the college. He didn't care about his studies. He only cared about resistance and that they should fight the Americans.

" 'We should not learn medicine', he used to say. 'We should learn how to fight the occupation' ."

Abdulla, whose family are Wahabist Muslims, an ultra-conservative form of Islam that promotes Sharia law, has extended family members in Cambridge where he completed part of his training at the city's renowned Addenbrooke's Hospital. He was on the electoral register in 2001.

During his time in Cambridge he was also linked to the radical Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahir. Shiraz Maher, a former member of the group, said: "He was certainly very angry about what was happening in Iraq. He supported the insurgency. He loudly cheered the deaths of British and American troops. But to say it was just all about Iraq or foreign policy is mistaken. It feeds off a much wider ideological infrastructure."

Abdulla reportedly once berated a Muslim room-mate for not being devout enough and allegedly showed him a gruesome video of a beheading, warning him the same fate could befall him if he was not more committed to his faith. He allegedly had a number of videos of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qae-da's leader in Iraq, who was killed in a gunfight with American troops last year.

The police are trying to establish whether it was in Cambridge that Abdulla and Asha linked up again. Asha, it seems, also completed two training stints at Addenbrooke's when Abdulla was living in a rented house in the city which was owned by the local mosque. At his home in Jordan, Asha has a souvenir towel marked with the Addenbrooke's logo.

Abdulla had also become close to Kafeel Ahmed, 27, who drove the Cherokee and is now close to death in Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley with 90 per cent burns. Abdulla had worked at the hospital for 11 months, Ahmed for three. They shared a rented house in Houston, a pretty village, five minutes by quiet country road from Glasgow airport.

Further evidence of the close-knit nature of the suspects came with the police swoop on a car in Liverpool on Saturday night.

The driver was Dr Sabeel Ahmed, 26, who worked at the Warrington and Halton hospitals in Cheshire. Ahmed is the brother of the suspect who suffered the life-threatening burns.

The brothers were born and raised in Bangalore, a city at the forefront of India's economic emergence. Bangalore's embrace of western values, has proved fertile ground for radical imams who prefer to preach hatred rather than the Koran.

The brothers studied medicine at Rajiv Gandhi University in the city. Last night Channel 4 News claimed that Sabeel Ahmed visited a brother in Cambridge in 2005 when Abdulla and Asha lived in the city.

In Australia Dr Mohammed Haneef, 27, was attempting to leave Brisbane Airport at the weekend with a one-way ticket to India.

He was arrested before he could board the flight. He too came from Bangalore and there is another, closer, connection.

Haneef is a cousin of the Ahmed brothers. He also received his medical degree from the same university in 2002, after studying as part of an affirmative action programme for Muslims and lower castes. He worked as a locum at Halton Hospital at the same time as Sabeel Ahmed. There are two other unnamed suspects under arrest who worked at the Paisley hospital and would, almost certainly, have known their colleagues in the Jeep.

With every hour, new information pours in from around the globe. Detectives must now establish whether the links between the suspects are restricted to family, professional and religion, or whether a more terrifying creed unites them.

Bombing plots ‘were carried out with bin Laden’s blessin

Along with the claim about bin Laden, we learn in this article that one of the plotters became a "religious fanatic." Is the Times daring to suggest that Islamic religious fervor has anything to do with jihad violence? Is the "friend who attended the Medical College of Baghdad University with Dr Abdulla" some kind of Islamophobe?

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/017288.php

The London and Glasgow bomb plots were carried out with the approval of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, a top foreign intelligence source said last night.

“It was an established fact from Day 1 that al-Qaeda was behind this and it was planned by its followers in Great Britain with bin Laden’s blessing,” the source told The Times.

British security officials were more guarded, saying that it was too early to say whether the plot was masterminded by some foreign hand or hatched in Britain....

The Times also learnt yesterday that Bilal Abdulla, 27, the Iraqi doctor who allegedly helped to drive a Jeep into the front of Glasgow airport last Saturday, disappeared for a year during his medical training in Baghdad. He is thought to have visited Pakistan or Lebanon.

A friend who attended the Medical College of Baghdad University with Dr Abdulla told The Times that he was a religious fanatic, and that in 2001 or 2002 he mysteriously abandoned his studies for a year.

“There was some talk that he went outside Iraq to develop his religious culture. I heard that he went to Lebanon or Pakistan,” the friend said.

On his return Dr Abdulla adopted a much more intense demeanour and isolated himself from his former friends. “He became more radical, but not to the degree that he took part in actual actions or clashes. He kept silent and became more isolated. He prayed and he kept himself away from the rest of the group.”

In wake of botched terror plot, Scottish Muslims fear retaliation

The Associated Press

Sunday, July 8, 2007

GLASGOW, Scotland: In the row of shops, a Pakistani immigrant owns the only one that was targeted. Shafiq Ahmed says vandals rammed a car into his "One Stop Shop" and set it on fire — an assault disturbingly reminiscent of the terror attack just days earlier on the airport of this gritty but until now racially well-integrated Scottish city.

Police say there has been a backlash against Glasgow's Muslims in the wake of the attempted airport bombing, with at least 24 attacks, ranging from graffiti on a mosque to firebombings of businesses.

Soaping off soot with his family in his charred convenience store, Ahmed is hoping that the attack on his family business wasn't racially motivated. After 30 peaceful years in Scotland, the idea that some may no longer welcome him and his Scottish-born children is simply too uncomfortable.

"I haven't got words to describe it. I'm hoping it's not retaliation," Ahmed said Sunday, in a thick Glasgow accent. "It's a shame to think you can't work with people and enjoy the company of people and instead have to worry."

British police are still threading together the terror plot investigation, reaching out to India, Australia, Jordan, Iraq and to communities here in Scotland where Muslims and non-Muslims have long lived in peace together — and where the majority are determined to keep it that way.

Unlike in Muslim enclaves in northern England, Asian Muslims in Glasgow do not live in complete isolation. White customers are common in the curry restaurants and ethnic grocery stores. Glaswegians wearing the colors of the local soccer team — Glasgow Rangers — share the sidewalks with Muslim community elders clad in long tunics and matching baggy trousers traditionally worn in Pakistan.

In the former industrial towns of northern England where much of Britain's Asian diaspora is settled, the far right British National Party with its fiercely anti-Muslim rhetoric has made inroads. But in Glasgow — Scotland's most populous Muslim city — the BNP has hardly any presence despite repeated efforts to foment racial division.

Problems of unemployment, poverty, and alcohol and drug abuse are shared by the community, not divided along racial lines.

Two Muslims allegedly rammed a Jeep Cherokee packed with gas cylinders and gasoline into the terminal building of Glasgow's airport on June 30. Bilal Abdullah, a 27-year-old doctor born in Britain and raised in Iraq, was charged on Friday. Kafeel Ahmed, from Bangalore, India, was believed to be driving the jeep. Hospitalized in critical condition with severe burns, he has not been charged. Six others remain held in custody over that plot and a failed car bomb attack 24 hours earlier in London's theater district.

In Glasgow, some Muslims fear that they will now face the same unwelcome scrutiny, even alienation and violence, that others across the border in England have complained of since four British-born Muslims blew themselves up on trains and a bus in London on July 7, 2005, killing 52 people and injuring more than 700.

Senior officials have since urged Muslims to better integrate. Jack Straw, the justice secretary and lord chancellor in the new government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, spoke out in October against the head-to-toe black veils worn by some Muslim women.

"After 7/7 it was not that bad for Muslims here," said Imran Ali, a 22-year-old in Pollokshields, the most populous Muslim district of Glasgow. "It's going to be worse now."

John Neilson, one of Glasgow's most senior police officers, told The Associated Press that they have made 25 arrests in the 24 attacks they suspect were revenge for the airport assault. But he also pointed out that for every attack, there were hundreds more expressions of support for Scotland's 60,000 Muslims.

"We showed resilience that some other nations don't have the capacity to show," Neilson said.

Ahmed's store is on a row of shops that includes a Chinese take-out restaurant, a betting shop, a kebab restaurant, a bank, a post office and a pub, The Princess. Plywood boards now cover part of the front of his store, that still gives off a strong burnt smell.

Robert Wishart, who lives opposite, said he was woken by a loud bang in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and saw from his bedroom window that a silver car had smashed into the shop front. It was set on fire five minutes later by a man who arrived in another car with an accomplice. They then sped off. Police say they are investigating.

"He's always been a friendly guy," Wishart said of Ahmed. "We all get on."

Like in Muslim communities across the length of Britain, there is seething resentment in Glasgow at the British government's foreign policy. The Iraq war, the alliance with the United States and a perception of one-sidedness in the Israel-Palestine conflict all fuel hostility. But terrorism in the name of Islam is abhorred in equal measure.

Unlike in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States or the 2005 bombings in London, where some young British Muslims saluted the terrorists, the latest terror plot drew nothing but condemnation here.

"We are not going to tolerate any racists or terrorists coming in and dividing us," said 23-year-old youth worker Javed Aslam.

Pointing to other young Muslims gathered around him, Aslam added: "If one of these guys supported any terrorism, we would all let them him know that we were ashamed."

Several hundred people — from Muslims to Quakers, teenagers to trade unionists — rallied in central Glasgow's George Square on Saturday to denounce the attacks. Blue and white Scottish flags fluttered symbolically alongside banners that declared "Terrorism has no Religion".

"We want to send the message that this country is united," said organizer Osama Saeed of the Muslim Association of Britain. "It won't be shaken by terrorism."

Car Bomb Suspect Worked at Aviation Company

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/10/world/europe/10britain.html?th=&emc=th&pagewanted=print

Car Bomb Suspect Worked at Aviation Company

By ANAND GIRIDHARADAS

BANGALORE, India, July 9 — Kafeel Ahmed, the engineer identified by the police as one of two main suspects in the British car bomb plot, worked for much of last year as an aeronautical engineer for an Indian outsourcing company that designs aircraft parts for companies like Boeing and Airbus.

Mr. Ahmed worked in the Bangalore office of the company, Infotech Enterprises, between December 2005 and July 2006, K. S. Susindar, a company spokesman, said in a telephone interview on Monday. Mr. Susindar offered that information after checking an employee database that listed Mr. Ahmed as having degrees from universities in India and Northern Ireland; he had a master’s in aeronautical engineering. The company did not say exactly which aviation projects Mr. Ahmed, one of 5,500 employees, worked on.

Mr. Ahmed is one of the two men described by the police as principal suspects in the failed attacks in Britain. The police have said he was the driver of the Jeep Cherokee that, loaded with gasoline canisters, was driven into the terminal of Glasgow International Airport on June 30.

Burns cover 90 percent of his body, the police say, and he remains in critical condition. He has not been charged, and his condition has prevented the police from questioning him.

In an interview on Sunday, Gopal Hosur, a deputy police chief of Bangalore, where Mr. Ahmed grew up, said his friends had told the police that Mr. Ahmed returned to India from Britain as something of a radical in 2005, the year he began work at Infotech. He had been known to be pious and goodhearted, but he surprised friends when he returned home with a traditional Muslim beard in place of his goatee, brimming with notions about fighting for Islam, Mr. Hosur said.

There has been no suggestion that Mr. Ahmed did anything untoward while at Infotech. Mr. Susindar said that Mr. Ahmed resigned from the company voluntarily and that the company had no problem with him.

Infotech’s clients have included some of the biggest names in aviation, according to its filings to investors: the Boeing Company and Airbus SAS, each of which has set up dedicated engineering teams at Infotech; Bombardier, the Canadian maker of corporate jets; and Pratt & Whitney, the aircraft engine maker. A spokeswoman for Boeing, Lizum Mishra, said the company would not be able to comment on the subject on short notice. An Airbus spokeswoman, Barbara Kracht, when told of Mr. Ahmed’s work at Infotech, said, “I’m absolutely not aware of this.”

Another client of Infotech is the Home Office of the British government, which is responsible for domestic security and is leading the investigation into the car bomb plot. Infotech helped the Home Office build a searchable computer database of criminal activity in Cornwall and Devon Counties.

Infotech also offers outsourced engineering in other industries, including for Alstom, the French maker of rail equipment and power systems.

Mr. Susindar said that Mr. Ahmed, an aviation specialist, was unlikely to have worked on projects outside his domain.

“He was sincere at work,” Mr. Susindar said in the interview after speaking to an Infotech employee who knew Mr. Ahmed. “And he was very much to himself. There were no friends or anything.”

Infotech Enterprises, based in Hyderabad, India, recorded $120 million in sales last year. It belongs to a wave of Indian outsourcing firms that are taking on high-end projects from Western companies.

“If the planes are designed in the West, the Indian designers are helping to make the planes a reality,” said Samad Masood, a technology analyst at Ovum, a research and advisory firm in London. The Indian engineers, he added, are “designing or helping to design pretty serious components that go into airplanes.”

Further evidence emerged Monday connecting Mr. Ahmed to a passenger in the Jeep, Dr. Bilal Abdulla, a British-born Iraqi doctor who is the only person to have been charged in the failed bomb attacks. Associates of the two men have told journalists that they got to know each other in Cambridge, England.

On Monday, an Indian official showed a reporter a printout of a document that he said came from a high-capacity computer hard drive seized from Mr. Ahmed’s family home in Bangalore, where the police say he lived for six months before the failed attacks. The document was a certificate from Mr. Abdulla’s medical school in Baghdad, listing his grades in a variety of subjects. On the top right of the document, a color photograph of Mr. Abdulla was attached. It was not clear when the document arrived in Mr. Ahmed’s computer.

The irony of course is how instrumental Israel was/is in many of the techie tools the Islamazis use to kill free peoples. Detonating the London bombs from Australia.

Car bomb 'to be detonated from Australia' The Australian hat tip Jan P


SUSPECTS linked to the foiled car bomb attacks in London allegedly planned to blow up the devices using mobile phones in Australia, a British newspaper has reported.

Eight people, including Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef in Australia, are still being held by police for questioning in relation to last week's two bomb attack attempts in central London and another at Glasgow Airport.

The British tabloid Daily Star today reported that during their investigations police had allegedly uncovered a plan to detonate one of the car bombs outside a London nightclub from Australia.

"They intended to blow it up by remote control - by calling mobile phones in the car," the newspaper said.

"Detectives believe the plot to set off the fuel-packed Mercedes E300 outside the capital's Tiger Tiger nightclub from Australia was intended to cause a spectacular show of global terrorism - but it failed."
