| Al-Muhajiroun sez Binny's gonna hit London | |
| 2004-04-18 | |
Various groups sympathetic to al-Qaeda are preparing large-scale attacks against London, the leader of an Islamic group suspected of having ties to the extremist network said in remarks published on Sunday in Portugal. Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, the head of the London-based group al-Muhajiroun, added in an interview with the Portuguese daily Publico that last month's deadly Madrid train bombings were carried out by a group of independent actors who back Osama bin Laden's organization. "There are many youths who dream of joining al-Qaeda, but worse than that, there are many 'freelancers' who are willing to launch operations similar to those by al-Qaeda," he said. "The attack in Madrid was carried out by one of those groups. Here in London there is a very well-organized group, which calls itself al-Qaeda-Europe. I know they are on the verge of launching a big operation." Bakri Mohammed, who is suspected of having links with Abu Qatada, an alleged al-Qaeda leader in Europe, said it was "inevitable" that London would be hit by a large attack "because they are being prepared by various groups."

| #6 When a guy touts this info and does not go to the authorities to prevent this type of activity that can cause the deaths and injuries of thousands, he is an accessory to that criminal or warlike activity. Which is why this guy needs extensive interrogation, stat! |

| #5 Not sure what you mean by that, Shipman. I think WM4F's analysis is pretty much correct. If Britain is attacked by terrorists, the BBC, al-Guardia and the like (not to mention, if present appearances hold true, the majority of Brits themselves) will blame the US, not the terrorists. |

Once these guys realize that actions have consequences, they will either leave or shut up. The UK has alot of house cleaning to do to get rid of PC and Mad Mullahs. So do we in the US. |
