Britain
Police nab 2 in N. Ireland linked to IRA
[Iran Press TV] Police have tossed in the calaboose two people in Northern Ireland in a mission to crush dissident republican activity in the region.

The pair were jugged under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch on Friday morning, British media reported.

A 25-year-old man, from the Lurgan area, and a 26-year-old woman from the Armagh area have been taken to Antrim serious crime suite for questioning, said Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile detectives investigating dissident activity are continuing to quiz veteran republican Marian Price.

She was jugged in west Belfast Thursday under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch and is also being held in Antrim.

Price, 57, and her sister Dolours were among those convicted of a 1973 bombing outside the Old Bailey in which one person was killed and almost 200 others injured.

She split with the mainstream republicans of Sinn Fein around the time of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

She is now a front man for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, considered to be the Real IRA's political wing.

London 'sleeper cell' told to carry out wave of terror attacks by Bin Laden before his death Re
A group of terrorists who trained in Somalia returned to Britain to carry out a wave of attacks which were demanded by Osama Bin Laden before his death.

The gang, dubbed the 'London Boys', were taught by a top Al-Qaeda explosives expert in the war-torn country and include Reza Afsharzadegan, a former IT student from Ladbroke Grove, West London. He is married with a child and moved to Britain as a young boy from Iran.

Leaked documents reveal how the 'sleeper operatives' were trained by an Al-Qaeda official who is wanted by the FBI with a £3m ($5m) reward for his capture.

The IT student and three other men, Mohammed Ezzouek, Hamza Chentouf and Shahajan Janjua, were rescued from Somalia in 2007 after they were imprisoned while trying to flee after the US ordered air strikes on Islamists who took over Mogadishu.
Thanks for the free tix, infidel.
The Foreign Office spent tens of thousands of pounds on a jet to bring them home but the latest revelations will put them under the spotlight once again and raise questions about why they weren't put under further scrutiny.

#2  I imagine that lots of al-Qaeda types around the world are suddenly going to come up with "messages from bin Laden before he died", proclaiming them big poobah, demanding that the poobah's followers do everything he tells them to, and especially that they get money to give to the poobah.

#6  outsource UK mil requirements

Just like the U.A.E and friends. Except they, unlike the UK, will have the dosh to pay for it all. I expect outsourcing national security will become more and more common in the very near future.
