Pope visit: Five suspected Islamist terrorists arrested over assassination plot
2010-09-17
Police have jugged five suspected Islamist hard boyz planning to assassinate the Pope.

The men were jugged during raids at 5.45am at a business premises in central London based on an intelligence tip off received overnight.

The suspects, aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50 were jugged by officers from Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

They are said to be from a variety of nationalities including a number of Algerian origin.

The men have been taken to a central London cop shoppe where they will be interviewed by detectives.

Searches are being carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000 at the business premises and at residential premises in north and east London.

Sources said that initial searches had not uncovered any bomb-making or hazardous items.

A front man for the Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made after they received "information" and added: "Following initial inquiries by detectives a decision was made to arrest the five men."

#9  Ah, Frank? I hate to burst your bubble man, but going to Confession won't do you a lot of good. You have to feel bad for what you did and want to change. Basically recognizing what you did was wrong and owning up to the fact.

#8  Ima feeling'rn like Catholic Rage Boy! Somebody behead somebody! Or not, since our religion isn't a primitive blood seeking moon cult. That said, a good beating and boot-teaching-moment prior to deportation would be my wish. Then I'll go to confession

#5  @mojo

ThereÂ’s a reason for that in fact they are tied in with the Cold war are Grey Wolves Glaido network.

@Dave UK

The most senior terrorist like Hamza since the Bosnia war and Qatada who had been on the payroll of MI6 since 96/97 worked with MI6 intelligence to fight proxy wars in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya and Central Asia. In fact all of the European countries do in which these terrorist cells are off shoots from.

Britain worked to refuse extradition of Hamza and Babar Ahmad who among other charges tried to set up a Chechen training camp in the US.

Most terrorist cases turn out to be duds thatÂ’s why convictions are squashed.

#4  And AP dances around the obvious...

The pope's visit has divided opinion in officially Protestant, highly secular Britain. The trip has been overshadowed by disgust over the Catholic Church's clerical abuse scandal and opposition from secularists and those opposed to the pope's stances against homosexuality and using condoms to fight AIDS.

Yeah. The...Protestants! That's the ticket!

#1  Possibly the usual crap of Islamic Terrorists, cops can`t prove a thing in court because of Intel reasons. Some judge will rule that their human rights have been breached, nice pay out from the British tax payer, we can not deport them coz their lives would be in danger, oh how I despair.
