| Jail Guards Battered By Muslim Boys |

| EXCLUSIVE 'Al-Qaeda' gang ambush Belmarsh staff THREE prison officers were viciously attacked during a day of extreme violence led allegedly by al-Qaeda terror suspects in Belmarsh. One guard was ambushed by three prisoners and battered with a pool cue and a sock filled with tins of tuna. The incident sparked a riot at the jail's high security unit. A source claimed the attack was led by a prominent member of the jail's Muslim Boys Gang, with alleged links to al-Qaeda. The officer had serious head and upper body injuries and needed hospital treatment. He is expected to be off work for a number of weeks. Two other warders were beaten by inmates in the shower block and treatment room as the violence escalated. The flare-up comes after the Mirror revealed Belmarsh is run by violent Islamic extremists who are said to be bullying inmates into joining al-Qaeda. Our source claimed yesterday: "The officer is in a pretty bad way. He had some nasty cuts to his head and severe bruising. "The prisoners involved have been threatening this for a while. It is the gang's way of trying to make out they run the prison. "Things are getting pretty nasty. It's never been this bad before - for three officers to get attacked in one day is very bad. It's a real cause for concern." The attack came a day after the governor sent a memo saying staff enjoyed a "cordial" relationship with inmates. A total of five prisoners face disciplinary action over the incidents at the category A jail in South East London. The source said that the ringleader and his No1 henchman had threatened officers in the past. He went on: "The first attack was premeditated. "For prisoners to equip themselves with a sock stuffed with tins of tuna and a pool cue shows they meant business. "It was a very nasty attack that has shocked even the most experienced staff. "Two prisoners who have alleged links to al-Qaeda launched the attack with the weapons. A bystander then joined in for the hell of it. "It was frenzied. The officer was hit with the sock and cracked his head on a door as he collapsed. Then they laid into him - he didn't stand a chance. "All staff were dispatched to the incident and it ended up with 10 staff and 10 prisoners confronting each other. "It was one versus one before the officer was rescued and things calmed down." According to the source, dogs would normally have been sent in as a first line of response - but he says the governor ordered that they were not to be used. The source said: "Officers weren't even allowed to restrain the prisoners to lead them to segregation - which meant they were able to walk unrestrained through the prison after beating up an officer. "That really infuriated the officers, but the governor is worried about upsetting prisoners due to political correctness. "The prisoners were lording it - and the other inmates were cheering them on." In the second incident an officer was punched and kicked by an inmate in the shower block in an unprovoked attack. The third assault happened in the treatment room where a warder was beaten after giving a prisoner his medication. The flare-ups came after staff were ordered to crack down on gangs and bullying. A Prison Service spokesman said: "Like all assaults on staff this is taken very seriously and an investigation will be held." |

| #5 The "staff" need to go on strike. Dogs ought to be SOP since I would bet there are no weapons allowed to be used by "staff." A "gun tower" with a 360 view and shoot to kill orders stops all this stuff. You have to use the death cults phobias against it/ Dogs are on they list. All "Korans" should by confiscated and not allowed in the prison as well. |

| #4 "...but he says the governor ordered that they were not to be used." [cockney_accent] Me thinks the Gov'na might benefit from an impromptu and unescorted "tour" of the Muslim wing of the lockup. Right then! [/cockney_accent] Nuck Fozzle |

| #2 a5089, the West will not lose. The only real questions are, will we wait so long we have to give up on "hearts and minds" and just tear out the throat of the Islamic world and, if so, how much of the Ummah will glow in the dark when we're done. And of course, will France have become part of the Ummah in the meantime. Not at all a pleasant thought, except that if we don't, in the end the whole world will glow, as the idiots of the Muslim world blithely launch nukes at one another over doctrinal disputations, blood feuds and crankiness caused by someone's favorite wife's PMS. |

| #1 According to the source, dogs would normally have been sent in as a first line of response - but he says the governor ordered that they were not to be used. "That really infuriated the officers, but the governor is worried about upsetting prisoners due to political correctness. PC (which is nothing more than marxism in another form, btw) will be why we'll ultimately L-O-S-E this civilizational war : it's a struggle of will, and while one side is an underachiever in every aspects, it is full of life and self-assertion, and we're bent on destroying our own values for the sake of "progressism". How would pre 1914 (or even pre 60's) westerners would have responded to this whole worldwide madness? The muzzies, armed struggle Lions of Islam(tm) or cultural/political taqyia subversives, would already be back into "insh'allah" like passivity, after being clobbered a few good times. Sad, but true. |
