| Shabaab threatens Britain over extradition of Abu Hamza al Masri |
| 2012-10-24 |
| Yesterday the Somali terror group Shabaab threatened to attack Britain for extraditing radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al Masri, who arrived in the US on Oct. 5 after being held for nine years in a British prison. The al Qaeda affiliate also pledged "to go to every possible length" to free the Blind Sheikh, another convicted terrorist, who is serving a life sentence in the US for murdering US citizens. Shabaab threatened Britain and pledged to work to free the Blind Sheikh, in a series of 11 tweets on its Twitter account, HSM Press Office (@HSMPress, or Harakat al Shabaab al Mujahideen Press Office). "The nightmare that surreptitiously looms on British shores is bound to eclipse the horrors of 7/7 and 21/7 combined," one tweet said, referring to the July 7, 2005 coordinated suicide attacks in London, and the July 21, 2005 failed bombings at London train stations. Shabaab warned that the British government's "actions will be repaid in retaliatory measure" and said that "Britain will pay the heftiest price for its brazen role in the war against Islam and endless brutality against innocent Muslims." In another tweet, Shabaab said it "pledges to go to every possible length to attain the freedom of imprisoned Muslim scholars, starting with Sh. Omar Abdirahman," or Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who is better known as the Blind Sheikh. The group then urged Muslims in the West "to hasten towards the release of their Muslim brothers & sisters," and specifically called on "the Muslims in the United States to make their stand." |

| #2 The broader or bigger strategic picture is that Jihad = Islamic conquest is inevitably coming to Europe - by destabilizing, isolating, or breaking up Britain = England, etc. the Hard Boyz hope to induce similar as per the NATO Alliance + Euro-States. Iff the US ever needs to militarily rescue EUROPE from EURABIA, IDEALLY THE USDOD WILL HAVE TO DO IT WIDOUT BRITAIN/ENGLAND AS A WW2 OR COLD WAR-STYLE STAGING BASE. NATO-EU = mainland Europe will have to rely on surrender-happy France + small Channel states whom rely on a poten fractured Britain wid its small Coast Guard + Police Constabulary formerly known as the RN, Brit Army, RAF + UKMoD; whom will have to rely on the smilar downsizing US + USDOD = OWG NAU? affected by a Pert-forecasted protactive bad US-Global econ to includ US budget-led "sequestration" cuts in effec Mil Assets. Remember, during the Cold War + immediate post-Cold War periods the UK + NATO depended on the US to take the lead as per major MilOps around the World, + STILL DOES - WHOM WILL THE US DEPEND ON FOR ITS NATIONAL SECURITY + THAT OF NATO-EU??? > Anti-Infidel NUCLEAR RADICAL ISLAM + MIGHTY PAKISTAN, ETAl. ISLAMIC NAVIES??? > "POST-US" RISING CHINA WHOM DESIRES 1/2 OF CONUS-NORAM [to start?] FOR CHINESE-CENTRIC "LIVING SPACE"??? Running away from Arabia to escape to Arabia, or from China to China, etc. AND YOUSE CAN'T RUN AWAY TO THE MOON BECAUSE THE US CANCELLED THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM + OTHER TO BOOST THE SPACEPROGS OF THE REST OF THE WORLD INCLUD BUT LIMITED TO THOSE NATIONS WHOM ARE ITS DEDICATED RIVALS OR ENEMIES. OOOOOOOPPPPPSSSSIES. |

| #1 The UK should be worried especially with the amount of unemployed Somalians in the UK. On the Way home reading the London Evening Standard interesting to see MI5 recruiting Somali speaking translators no doubt to evesdrop potential terrorists. |
