| Bomber's target was baby in a pushchair | |
| 2007-01-16 | |
| One of the 21/7 bombers pinpointed a mother with her baby in a pushchair to become the principal target of his suicide explosion, Woolwich Crown Court heard. Ramzi Mohammed was the Oval bomber, the jury was told. Seeing the young mother, he turned his back with the bomb in his rucksack over his shoulders so it faced her and detonated the charge. None of the bombs successfully detonated because the bombers had failed to get a sufficiently high concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the charge. Mohammed and another defendant, Muktar Ibrahim, were arrested at a flat in Delgarno Gardens, west London, two days later. Hussain Osman, who had travelled to Brighton in the wake of the attempted attacks, returned to London and caught a train from Waterloo to Paris, the court was told. He then travelled to Rome, where he was arrested on 29 July. The prosecution alleged that Manfo Asiedu was supposed to be another bomber, but he "lost his nerve at the last moment". Instead he dumped his bomb in a wooded area in Little Wormwood Scrubs, where it was found two days later, the jury was told. Yassin Omar was arrested on 27 July after fleeing London disguised in a burka, the court heard.
The jury heard that Ibrahim had been trained for jihad in the Sudan in 2003 and had also travelled to Pakistan the following year "to take part in jihad or to train for it". A search of the homes of Yahya and Osman revealed a mass of extremist Muslim material including home-made films with images of beheadings and terrorist atrocities including 9/11. The conspiracy back in Britain only started after Ibrahim had returned from Pakistan in March. | |

| #13 Yassin Omar was arrested on 27 July after fleeing London disguised in a burka, the court heard. My surgery suggestion above would make it more appropriate for him to wear that burka... |

| #11 Yassin Omar was arrested on 27 July after fleeing London disguised in a burka Festering cross dressers for Pig Allen. Prince Charles is a prime defender of Islam. Charles Martel would have hung that numb nuts yesterday. |

| #9 Anonymoose, I suspect there would be a rash of conversions to Christianity in such a case, with no change of outlook or behaviour. |

| #8 I imagine the Brits would appreciate some 2nd amendment rights. It is a sad country where terrorists have legal rights and citizens have very limited rights to self defense. |

| #7 I'm waiting for some public figure to calmly announce to all Muslims to "Please leave Britain now. All of you. You behavior has made it clear that you, as a religion, and as people of various nationalities, no longer have a place in Britain. While the government may tolerate you now, this tolerance is no longer guaranteed. If you do not leave now, willingly and in your own time, you may find that the future will not be as kind. Consider this as helpful advice, and take advantage of this considerate warning." |

| #6 And yet "the left" can excuse even this. If Her Majesty's government can no longer be trusted with the defense of the Realm it remains the responsibility of Her subjects to rise to the defense. And if that becomes necessary it is going to get very ugly indeed. I for one will never forgive this particular act of barbarism. |

| #5 I am surprised that the British don't have a "volunteer" system for medical research. I think old Rimzi could be invalueable use as a subject for cranial drills experimentation used to perform lobotomies, or specialty scalpels to be used in "New techniques in sex change therapy"... It would be sad if there were a shortage of anesthetic... |
