| UK imam linked to 3/11 | |
| 2004-04-12 | |
Spanish police are investigating possible links between the group which carried out devastating bomb attacks on Madrid trains a month ago and a Muslim preacher in England, the daily El Pais newspaper said yesterday. Quoting sources close to the investigation into the bombings, the paper said that presumed terrorists who blew themselves up in a suburb of Madrid on April 3 rather than face arrest had telephoned the preacher, or imam, shortly before doing so. Investigators were not sure of the name of the preacher involved, but believed it may be a man named Ben Salawi, the paper said, whom it described as a "very radical imam." The paper said investigators believed that the presumed perpetrators of the attacks "were receiving support and orders from an Al Qaeda leader residing in England," although it was not clear whether this was the same person to whom the presumed terrorists telephoned.

| #4 The UK better get this Islamist threat under control. It is almost at the metastasizing stage. We here in the US better start, too, especially at the Wahabbi-financed mosque level. Jeeze Louise, there ought to be plenty of evidence of Saudi duplicity to limit Saudi entry into the US and keep diplomats on a very short leash in this country, at least that as a start. The 9-11 lawsuit against the Saudis is a start, just a start. |

| #3 Today's Monday. The UK should resolve all asylum petitions by the end of business on Thursday. All applicants whose petitions are rejected should be prepared to depart from the country by midnight on Friday. |

| #2 This is another example of how western countries are not yet taking the threat seriously. I agree there should be a general roundup of suspect imams, and a mass deportation at a minimum. |

| #1 "were receiving support and orders from an Al Qaeda leader residing in England," Does it matter a tinker's damn what his name was? He preaches in a mosque. I guess it's asking too much to arrest them all isn't it? But, if you did you would have all the guilty ones. Simple deduction and I did it without Dr. Watson. Chine |
