London Bombings: Part I - Footprint of State Terror
YYC:
Radio4Houston
contains a list
of
audio clips of radio programs related
to the London Bombings. I've listened to only the above title so far -
an excellent timeline - and I hope to find time to listen to
the rest of them. Here is information about the broadcasters, Shoenman
and Shone. You may not agree with the conclusions drawn, but
most of what I've heard so far I've also
seen in the
news, and it's demonstrative of not only the amount of seemingly
deliberate disinformation that rapidly was disseminated as "official"
statements on the day of the bombings, but also Tony Blair's apparent
failure to act on prior warnings.

failed transit bombing (6 accused).
WashPost:
4 Convicted in Failed 2005 London Bombing Plot The defendants argued during the
trial that they had merely intended to frighten people in a protest
against the Iraq war
More
details (CBS)
YYC: One would think
that the fact the devices did not work might be proof they were duds.
The police say "They do not know why they
failed", so then what makes them so sure they know they were
"viable"? The "enormous pressure", perhaps?
If this was a sting operation, it
would make sense that "During
the trial, Asiedu turned on the others and claimed Ibrahim, the gang's
self-proclaimed leader, had wanted the attacks "to be bigger and better
than the July 7 bombs", and it would also explain why the
same turncoat "lost his nerve and abandoned his
device". Not a true member of the team,
that one.
I mean, even if he did want to say it was all
Ibrahim's fault, he
didn't have to add that Ibrahim wanted the attacks to be bigger and
better than the July 7 bombings. That seems designed to make the others
look much worse than perhaps they really are.
Gone are the days when the facts alone were
enough. Now there has
to be big hype. We have to hear over and over what a terrible disaster
it "might" have been. Like the story from the policeman about he just
can't imagine why he didn't shoot Omar. Why should he even be
asked
why he didn't shoot? He was there to make an arrest, after all,
not to
assassinate. It seems this is only so that the story can sound
more
dire, and the suspects more threatening than perhaps they really are.
If Ibrahim really did go to Pakistan and get
training to pull off
such a pathetic fiasco, I can only repeat, as with the failed car
bombings, Al Qaeda is an awfully chintzy organization, and
"mastermind" is the grossest of misnomers.
Why am I not surprised that the jury delberating on
Asideu and Yahya was dismissed
(ChicagoTribune)
and that neither of those two suspects showed surprise? Will
prosecutors exercise their option to seek a retrial? Or is this
the
successful end of a sting? And by sting, I mean the use of police
instigators.
Check out what I
said in January about Omar and Yahya.
It's also another boost to the growing
anti-immigrant mindset.

The Car "Bombs"
Jul 29 - NDTV:
'Relieved' Haneef returns to Bangalore Meanwhile, the entire
episode has become an embarrassment for the Australian Federal Police,
and AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty has blamed British investigators for
giving the Australian police wrong information.
YYC: But
Haneef has a "character" problem, according to the increasingly
anti-immigration authorities, and will not be allowed back into
Australia. And, of course, the British investigators still think
they're right about everything else.
Jul 28 - Australia

With the dismissal of the case against Haneef, only three of the eight
individuals who were initially detained in connection with the London
and Glasgow plots have been charged...
Kafeel Ahmed, who was seen driving the car into the Glasgow terminal,
remains in critical condition in the hospital with severe burns and has
not been charged because the police have been unable to interrogate him.
YYC: So the
police have not laid eyes on this guy since he was taken to
hospital. Time to re-read "The Science of Fake

Australian:
Four more people arrested re 7/7 "suicide bombings"
YYC:
Typical of the Australian, unproven conclusions are stated as
facts. But they include an interesting item: "Armed officers were not used in
the arrests."
It's almost as if the police know they are not dealing with
terrorists!
The Telegraph
supports that statement, but Canada's right wing National
Post write-up doesn't mention it, nor does ICHuddersfield
which does say, however, that the police have reassured the detainees'
neighbours as follows:: <Officers said they do not believe that
any of the premises, or items within them, are a threat to the local
community.>
Nor does SkyNews
mention that the police were unarmed, although it does say that:
<Chief superintendent Barry South from West Yorkshire Police said:
"I had a meeting this morning with community leaders who are quite
satisfied with the way this operation was carried out.">
The BBC
mentions it, and goes on to quote a police superintendent as saying:
<"We don't perceive any threat from the addresses that we are
searching at this moment"> and confirms that: "meetings had
taken place with councillors and key community leaders in the area".
Reading that reminds me of the community
councils set up by Jews in Nazi Germany
which were instrumental in saving some Jews of perceived high quality
while acquiescing to the round-ups of others of perceived lower quality
- and even supplying the lists!
This is a horrifying indication of the success of
the fear campaigns against Muslims in our so-called democratic
societies.

LONDON 21/7
Timeonline:
21/7 jury shown CCTV footage of 'failed suicide attack' It
was also revealed that one of the alleged bomb plotters, Yassin Omar,
got engaged just five days before the attacks were to be carried out.
YYC: Gee, I wonder if that was evidence for the
prosecution or the defence???? See more about Omar here
where he's made out to be a real suicidal
baddie due to his having been under the influence of a "radical
cleric". Yet he gets engaged anyway.
I wonder what the real reason was that
Muhammed repeatedly pointed his finger at the knapsack for the benefit
of the inhouse TV camera? Note how the Times has already tried
and convicted him by saying that he was "pretending he had no
idea what was happening." (My underscoring)
CBC:
Trial opens for 6 accused in London bomb plot Explosives were
triggered but failed to explode
While none of the explosive devices detonated properly on July 21,
forensic scientists tested the mixture of hydrogen peroxide and flour
and found that "in every experiment this mixture has exploded"
YYC: Well, if the forensic guys could get it to
explode - and I congratulate them for doing what Al Qaeda couldn't do -
then from now on they should do the bombings and give Al Qaeda a rest.
Sounds like a good bread recipe to me, though
- fill yer tummy and whiten yer teeth at the same time. Sorry, I
know I'm not taking this seriously enough, and the accused are probably
going through hell, but it's the accusers I'm laughing at, really.
ALL of the "bombs" failed to detonate.
The bombers didn't think to test their product before setting out to do
the deed. How can we possibly fear Al Qaeda if it's this bleeping inept?
There's only one answer - they were not
suicide bombers, they only wanted to get caught looking like suicide
bombers. But why??????? Only the police and the terror myth
itself would benefit from them getting caught. Get it? Get
it?
Here's
a blog that discusses the issue. I agree that the only
people these "bombers" could have hurt would have been themselves, but
only if "...they got caught in the tube doors when they were
closing or perhaps gave themselves a papercut when reading the Metro.
Maybe if they were wearing flowing robes they could have got caught in
the escalator ..."
Peroxide mixed with hair dye can explode
and make an awful mess in your bathroom vanity. Flour has been
known to explode in the grinding mill, but that's a whole nother
situation. When flour gets wet it's only good for, like, making
gravy. Now, if you add yeast you've got yerself a combustible
mixture fer sure - it could riddle your bread with air holes!
One thing I'm impressed by,
though, is how the
witnesses manage to keep such straight faces.
I'm fascinated by this: Bloomberg:
<At
least two of the men, Omar and Yahya, also
regularly attended sermons given in London by radical cleric Abu Hamza
al-Masri, who was jailed last year for inciting the murder of
non-Muslims>
Yahya should have therefore been the most
indoctrinated, yet he left the country before the fiasco occurred.
Since all the other cases seem to have provocateurs involved;
why not this one. Why shouldn't this be just another sting
operation designed to reinforce fear in London?
Could the others
have been convinced that they were participating in a safety exercise,
such as the one that was so coincidentally going on at the time of the
July 7 bombings?
October

Just came across this outspoken critique of the 7/7

London
Patsies: A Replay Of The Pristine 9/11 Passport
Personal documents have been found at all four bomb scenes and although

TERRORISTS THAT RESULTED IN THEIR DEATHS] police were careful not to
say whether Britain had suffered its first suicide bomb strike.
June

IndyUK:
Two held in anti-terror swoops
"(The raids) were targeting individuals suspected of possession of
information that could be used for a terrorism purpose."
YYC: This is bizarre. The police report
they lost
a lost knapsack (News24 item below) containing intelligence
information, and now they have licence to raid several homes to find
it? I suppose they don't consider it much of a problem now that
they can hand out at the same time a handy pamphlet on how to recover
from having your home invaded by the police at dawn.
Telegraph:
The arrests follow the release of plans by the Association of Chief
Police Officers (Acpo) to help relatives of suspected terrorists deal
with the aftermath of an arrest or raid.
New24:
UK terror files lost in street
The Guardian newspaper reported that the lost knapsack contained
details about alleged bomb plots and suspects identified for
surveillance.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said a bag
belonging to an officer from specialist operations - the branch
responsible for anti-terrorism and diplomatic protection - had been
reported missing on June 10. It contained a police radio, handcuffs and
chemical spray, as well as documents.
YYC: Police carry knapsacks, do they? Do
they
also carry bombs in them?
This is either extremely fishy - did they want
a "terrorist" to find it so they could finally do a raid that turns up
something, or did they shred documents that might have incriminated the
police and are lying about them being stolen - or are they as seemingly
stupid as our
own secret service who routinely report sensitive files lost or
"stolen".

27: PakTimes: Protesters demand apology for fruitless London terror
Raid
"We clearly, clearly want an unqualified apology" from Prime Minister
Tony Blair and the Metropolitan Police, said Muddassar Ahmad, spokesman
for the protest organisers.
"If you're going to apologise, apologise
properly," he said, "don't apologise for 'hurt'," as the police did in
a statement Tuesday after the brothers went public with an emotional
account of the raid.
The raid, less than a year after July 7
suicide bombings in London in which 56 died, saw police officers tear
through the house in what turned out to be a fruitless search for clues
of a homemade chemical weapon.
Many of those protesting Sunday carried
banners and chanted: "We will not live in fear". Their route was to
take them past the local police station

BBC: Terror suspects

It was also claimed that Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, was shot without
warning in Friday's raid at Forest Gate, London.
YYC: But the police had "intelligence", don't you

trigger happy cops.
SMU:
Search for chemical bomb after police shoot man in home raid
"Because of the very specific nature of the intelligence, we planned an
operation that was designed to mitigate any threat to the public either
from firearms or from hazardous substances," said Peter Clarke, head of
Britain's anti-terrorism branch.
YYC: The police had an informant. Was the
informant also the instigator?
Bloomberg:
London Police Shoot, Wound Man in Anti-Terrorist Raid
"An examination of the officer's firearm confirms that a single shot
was discharged in circumstances which are currently under
investigation'' ... police would likely be searching the house for
``several days.''
YYC: Same old same old. Shoot first and
worry about evidence later. Call me bemused but doesn't the word
"factory" imply equipment that doesn't take "several days" to
locate? I mean, what if you have to make a bomb on short
notice? Have they thought of looking where Saddams' WMD's are?
TimesOnline:

Timesonline:
Police who shot Brazilian on Tube 'to escape charges' The two
police marksmen who shot dead an innocent Brazilian in the belief that
he was a suicide bomber will escape criminal charges for murder or
manslaughter, sources close to the inquiry believe.
Brian comments: "Imagine my shock ! We had one like this closer to
home recently too. Same result."
YYC:
It's quite clear
that the "tough on crime/terror" folks are prepared to sacrifice a few
innocents to show would be trouble makers they mean business.
They'd better be sure they know where all
members of their own families are at all times, or at least teach them
to never, never run away when men with guns come after them.
There are currently some ads on TV for a
police school in Ontario that run film clips of potential officers
becoming proficient at disabling their quarries with martial arts
techniques. I guess that's just for show, and the shoot to kill
classes take place off screen.
IndUK:
Family of Brazilian killed by police call for Met chief to quit
A number of questions have arisen about the nature of the police
operation which led to the shooting, including the failure to apprehend
him outside the station, the decision to shoot despite the fact that he
was already physically restrained, and the length of time it took for
Scotland Yard's senior command to realise the mistake.
FT:
Australian leaders agree to toughen security laws
Mr Howard and the leaders of Australia’s six state governments and two

YYC: Those London attacks

World Order.
Khon:
Another suspect in 7/21 London bombings arrested
The suspect is being held under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act,
which is a different law than Britain's Terrorism Act. Forty people are
being held in connection with the July 7 and July 21 terror attacks in
London under the Terrorism Act.
NHUnionLeader:
Compensation payments too slow, victims say

IOL:
Bombers staged dry run before London attacks

but I bet if they looked hard enough they could even find these guys on
tape 20 days, 30 days, 40 days earlier, and so on - because they used
public transit to get to where they were going!!

Guardian:
Who really bombed Paris? The evidence is that the 1995 Islamist
attacks on the French metro were in fact carried out by the Algerian
secret service.
YYC:
I'm beginning to think
that the real "war on terror" should be aimed at dismantling secret
service agencies all around the world - starting with CSIS here at
home, of course, then the CIA, then MI6, and so on until we're all free
of the deep, dark underworld of which they are denizens and from which
they operate. If anyone is in need of psychiatric help, it is
these netherworld creatures.
The sad thing about insanity is that it
spreads more easily than sanity, as witnessed by what world leaders do
to their own people in response to what they call "Islamic terrorism":
MetroNews:
Britain's tougher security laws come under attack
Thanks to Bahija who comments: "Frankenstein's Dĉmon redux. The monster
one creates always comes back to haunt one."
Intelligence
interests may thwart the July bombings investigation ... it may
depend on whether Scotland Yard, in its attempts to uncover the truth,
can prevail over MI6, which is trying to cover its tracks and in
practice has every opportunity to operate beyond the law under the
cover of national security.
YYC:
Like I said in my letter
to Pierre Pettigrew, there is no place in a democracy for
secret police. They end up serving only themselves and their own
dark deeds, and do not make a nation secure, in fact they endanger it.
Ansa.it:
Extradition for London Bomb Suspect
Issac
said the idea was to set off the device and then leave the
rucksack with the bag of nails for police to find, as a demonstration
of the inability of authorities to guarantee security ... Rome
prosecutors said they intend to ask for their enquiry to be shelved at
the end of the week because no evidence has been found that shows
subversive activity by Issac or his Italian contacts.
YYC:
They said this kid was
dumb, but he got one thing right - the "authorities" cannot guarantee
security with their shoot to kill orders and by locking up all sorts of
maybe, possibly, could be suspects.
When a long hard look is finally taken at the
horrendous effects of colonialism and the exploitation of natural
resources for the profit of a few at the expense and misery of many,
the "authorities" might get a clue as to what needs to be done.

London claims progress in bomb probe

BBC: No let

He said he believed there was a mood for a tough UN declaration coming
from other countries. And he said there was a line to draw over UK
freedom of speech - one which terrorist supporters were crossing.
YYC: Terrorism is
a wonderful
thing because it allows governments to spy on their own people and lock
them up as terrorists without having to produce any evidence to be
challenged, while still pretending that they represent democracy.
I'm ready for my mug shot, Mr. Blair.

This tape is a
poser. On the one hand, it supports Tony Blair's assertion that
the accused really were terrorists rather than four young men who were
tricked into playing the part for purposes of a preparedness
exercise. On the other hand, it refutes Tony Blair's argument
that the war on Iraq has nothing to do with the London bombings.
Personally, I can't begin to guess who is

when
I read the newspaper reports of the bomb damage configuration - and I'm
perfectly willing to believe that the so-called "suicide bombers" were

Scotland Yard has continued to justify a shoot-to-kill policy.
YYC: I have long held the opinion
that if we didn't have any law
enforcement we wouldn't be in any greater or lesser danger, since far
more people die and are injured by vehicle accidents and diseases
caused by overindulgence than at the hands of criminals, and because
the law only prosecutes a few criminals who are caught, while the
majority of bad guys continue to roam free.
Now, it seems, we are also in danger from the
police- particularly the "tactical" forces, and the secret police.

How the Government Staged the London Bombings
Ten Step Method To Staging a Terrorist Attack
YYC: I don't necessarily
suppose the
"government" would do this (although I do think those in a position to
know might turn a blind eye and deaf ear) but I do think it's quite
possible that somebody tricked and framed the so-called "suicide
bombers". It's also possible that the 9-11 "hijackers" were
tricked into thinking they were involved in a security exercise.
It can't be denied that elements exist for western
domination of the world, who consider themselves a righteous elite,
and are prepared to sacrifice the not-so-elite to achieve their aims.
You don't see Buckingham Palace being bombed, or Parliament, or Number
10 Downing Street. In the case of 9-11 only the section of the
Pentagon that was under construction received damage, and certainly not
the White House which has far too much historical value. No, the
expendables get dinged: mass transit and a couple of towers that had
become a financial burden to the city and were
leased out - and heavily insured, specifically for bombing attacks
- 6 weeks before 9-11 occurred.
IOL:
London bombings: the truth emerges
A police source said: "All the talk about 'Mr Bigs' and al-Qa'ida
masterminds looks like something from a film script at the moment. Of
course, things could change if new intelligence comes through, but it
looks increasingly as if these people were largely working on their
own. It is not something we expected."
YYC: It's not as if we
haven't
been trying to tell them. Can you imagine we "leftie wingnuts"
are the ones being accused of spreading wild conspiracy theories, when
the biggest conspiracy of all time was to make us - including our
intelligence agencies - believe that Al Qaeda was behind 9-11, is behind the
Iraqi resistance, and
is behind most acts of
terrorism in the world.
It's a little difficult to prove an
association with an entity that doesn't exist. Our so-called
"Intelligence" agencies need to look under Bush's bed and in his closet
for the origins of this particular bogeyman.
And then they need to start looking at the
wicked foreign policies that are driving ordinary people to insane acts
against the establishment.

WSWS:
Forces trained in Britain’s dirty war in Northern Ireland involved in
de Menezes killing
The report continued that the unit, “modelled on an undercover unit
that operated in Northern Ireland, were engaged in ‘low level
intelligence behind the scenes’ when the Brazilian was shot.
Alertnet:
British police meet slain Brazilian's family
British government officials had been advised by the Brazilian side to
stay away from the funeral for their own safety.
YYC:
Now you see, this is an
example of why it's so easy for governments to say that western war
mongering and meddling has no bearing on the terrorism situation.
They're not the ones who take the brunt of their own stupidity;
they always seem to get prior warnings, and rarely venture near a
danger spot, or if they do they are heavily protected.
Notice that the de Menezes family were
summoned to the town hall; they didn't receive a visit at their
home. Why? Well, for one thing there was an ambassador
present, and an assistant deputy commissioner, and their protective
entourage wouldn't fit through the door of their home.
Nobody should be allowed to be president or
prime minister, or minister of anything - or even assistant deputy
commissioner (what an important title, eh?) - unless they are willing
to walk around like the rest of us, and use public transit.
Forget that line about how the running of the
country would be disrupted if a leader were attacked; none of our
western leaders are that indispensable. They're just big talking
nervous nellies who've never fought in a war and are apparently willing
to sell their souls to make sure they and theirs never have to.

memorable case she won, which shows that brute force took over the
police force some time ago in the UK. The police have never been
punished for torturing Gerry Conlon into confessing to a bombing he and
the other accused didn't commit, or for hiding the evidence of his
alibi. Rent the film, or get it from your library. It's
powerful and informative.
TimesOnline:
Panic in the face of fanatics is making Britain dangerous
... a howling mob has clambered aboard the terrorists’ bandwagon and
claimed right of passage. They are taking the opportunity to beat their
political pectorals, roar abuse at all and sundry and cloak prejudice
in the dogma of necessity. Whatever their motives, the objective is the
same as that of the terrorist. It is to multiply fear, restrict liberty
and sow seeds of hatred.

Archbishop warns on terror response
"In responding to the new threats in our midst, we must hold more
firmly than ever to our laws, our freedoms and our principles. We must
never allow ourselves to surrender to a logic of fear in which we have
to resort to ever more drastic measures in order to combat
terrorism."
FTimes:
Shooting of Innocent Brazilian was not "cavalier or capricious' -
Police Commissioner
YYC:
Cavalier means basically "off
hand"; capricious mean "guided by whim". So I agree this shooting
was not off hand nor guided by whim, but was deliberate overkill.
Surely the police know it doesn't take 8 shots to the head and torso to
kill a man, and surely they knew that while he was down they could have
restrained him from detonating a bomb.
So why do they persist in
implying that the man was running away when shot, ignoring that the man
was down and shot at close range, and no longer running away, nor in a
position to resume running away.
Well, at least they admit they are taking
advice from Israel - known for its revenge tactics and overkill:
"Advice
sought by the Met from
Israel's experience is that explosives could still be detonated if a
bomber was not immediately incapacitated."
From
the Guardian: Witnesses in London said
plainclothes police chased Menezes into a subway car, pinned him to the
floor and shot him.
YYC:
If they thought he was
a
terrorist, they destroyed a potential source of "intelligence".
Why did they pass up such a golden opportunity?
Guardian:
Brazilian was shot eight times, inquest told
In Brazil, a cousin of Mr De Menezes, Maria do Socorro, said she
thought the police had acted "like amateurs". She told BBC Radio 4's
Today programme: "If you are going to have a war on terror, you have
got to use brains to fight it not just brute force."
YYC:
I
couldn't agree
more. This was not at all in the line of duty. This was
sheer, murderous hatred, and the officer(s) responsible should be
removed from the force.
Thanks to
Marjorie:
"DON'T
SHOOT - I'm not Brazilian" t-shirts in London
This
was mentioned in a reader
comment on an article about the shooting
of Mr. Menezes. The British seem divided on whether to sympathize
with or criticize the shoot to kill policy. But they'd better get
used it because: "Met Police
Chief Sir Ian Blair
has apologised to the family and warned that more innocent people might
be killed in the fight against terrorism."
Here
is Marjorie's own
response which the BBC chose not to publish, probably because she
suggests the police have been Israelified.
Uruknet: Six
decades on the third rock from the sun
... if past experience is anything to go by, it’s more than likely that
the British security services have had a sinister hand in setting up
the horrors visited on the people of London over the past two weeks.
And to those who cry conspiracy, look no further than the role of the
British security agencies in Northern Ireland, specifically the Force
Research Unit (FRU), a unit that was still in operation until at least
1997
YYC: Please read
this
article. It is full of the richness of living in a large,
multi-cultural city and also the horror of it. It reveals clearly
the racist attitudes, the forced human migration, and other world
conditions that have led to "blowback" - the Iraq war being only one,
more recent example.
IOL:
'Shoot to kill, aim for the head'
"There's no point in shooting at somebody's chest because that's where
the bomb is likely to be. There's no point in shooting anywhere else
because if they fall down they detonate it."
YYC:
Interesting. Mr.
Menezes was down when they shot him five times in the head and torso,
up close and personal.
NYDailyNews:
London cops killed wrong man in chase
Cops identified the dead man as 27-year-old Jean Charles de Menezes, a
Brazilian electrician who'd lived in London for the past three years.
YYC: This has done
wonders to
take Londoners' minds off the fear of terrorism; now they fear those
who "serve and protect" even more. What has happened to
professionalism in the police forces?
It isn't just in London. We have cops in
Ottawa who brutally inflicted multiple taser injuries on people in an
ordinary, every day, small group sit-in demonstration. Think
about how it would feel to do that to someone, and you've got a good
picture of what they'd really like to be doing, and what they would do
if they had the slightest justification. We can't blame it on the
pressures of terrorism, because we haven't even had a bombing here -
yet. Our military is busy trying to earn one for us.
When the onlookers described Mr. Menezes as
looking like a terrified, cornered animal I knew he was no suicide
bomber. The cops had to have known it too. I feel for the
people who loved Mr. Menezes. They have a much worse grief than
the friends and family of people whose deaths were natural or at least
had some meaning.
Guardian:
London Police Chief Defends Deadly Force
The head of London's police force expressed deep regret Sunday for the
slaying of a Brazilian man by officers who mistook him for a suspect in
the recent terror bombings, but defended the police use of deadly force.
YYC: This article says he
was shot in
the head and torso. If that's true, then the cops knew he did not
have a bomb on him. They would not have shot him at close range
if they thought he was carrying a bomb that could go off. This
was a case of police run amok.
Watch out for people who say they "deeply
regret" and then go on to defend. Apologies are less than
useless. Who cares that they "deeply regret" it? What are
they going to do about it to see this doesn't happen again?
For
the last time ...
NewIndpress:
'Man shot dead was not a bomber'
YYC: But it's still "shoot

poor guy has been demoted from being a probable terrorist to now being

sounds the same doesn't it? Not to me it doesn't. So much
for gathering intelligence. But wait - the British are famed for
their mediums and seances; maybe they'll get more out of this guy dead
than when he was alive. If the 72 virgins will give him a night
off.

incitement will also be a terrorist crime soon - presumably that
includes anyone who rails against the Iraq war."

Muslims fear 'shoot-to-kill' policy
“There may well be reasons why the police felt it necessary to unload

Don't the police want information?

"probe".
'Distraught'
passengers describe mayhem on Tube
Eyewitnesses described mayhem at Stockwell Tube station today after a
suspected suicide bomber was shot dead fleeing from armed police.
YYC: I have
questions, of
course. The police had this man down; why did they then shoot him
so determinedly making sure he was dead? Why didn't they want to
take him in for questioning? Did they not think he might have been a
good source of information?
If they thought he was carrying a bomb,
weren't they afraid it might go off at any second? But there's no
mention of a bomb squad being brought in - only an ambulance and a
coroner who pronounced him dead. Weren't they afraid the coroner
might be killed by the bomb going off?
With all of the increased security, how is
that more guys got onto the transit system with rucksacks? New
York is inspecting bags and using sniffer dogs. I doubt very
much that any person of colour would wear a rucksack or carry a bag in
London now, so these guys would have been easy to spot. Why did
the passengers not raise a fuss as soon as they saw the rucksack,
rather than waiting until they saw smoke?
I read a report that I can't seem to find now
that said a man was lying on the floor on top of a rucksack. He
uttered surprise at what happened and got up, left the rucksack behind
and ran. Was he surprised to still be alive, or was he surprised
that his rucksack exploded?
By the way, there were reports of bus windows
being blown out. They
are apparently not true.
IndianExpress:
£900 worth of scent, aftershave went into bomb
Detectives are also investigating whether Lindsay bought peroxide, an
ingredient in the acetone peroxide—also known as TATP or ‘‘Mother of
Satan’’—used in the London attacks.
YYC: If it was
indeed Lindsay
doing the purchasing, then the police should look in his dust bin for
empty bottles. But oh, the police are not investigating that;
they are looking for peroxide - something he wasn't seen buying, all
agitated like. In fact, the police are not commenting on the
perfume story at all. They are just letting it be broadcast all
over the world as is.
This reminds me of the story about the 9-11
hijackers being seen hooting it up in a pub with women companions the
night before - even though this is not something fanatically religious
Muslim suiciders would be caught dead doing.
WRH:
The 7/7 London Bombings: How to Set Up a Patsy
I got an email with an interesting rumor going around London that just
before the attacks, someone was trying to hire Muslims to play
terrorists for a terror drill, to try to sneak onto the trains and
buses with fake bombs to test out the security.
YYC: This article
puts into
words and context a scenario that's been running through my mind with
some pieces missing. The folks who sneer at any questioning of
the official story should be reminded that if the young men being
blamed had lived, and there had been a trial, you can bet your buttons
these questions and plenty more would be raised by defence
counsel. They should not be deprived of a fair hearing just
because they are dead.
CanberraTimes:
UK bombers 'tricked' - All four paid for return train tickets
"We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers," a
Scotland Yard spokesman told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. "It is
possible that they did not intend to die."
YYC: Which makes it
possible
that the 9-11 hijackers did not intend to die either - that they
thought they were part of a simulation, and so did the passengers,
until the final moments.
IndianExpress:
Bombing ‘un-Islamic’ - Musharraf
The statement came as immigration officials revealed that three of the
suicide bombers involved in the July 7 London attack entered Pakistan
through Karachi last year.
YYC: A couple of
things I'm
keeping in mind:
- the information found on websites that the London bombings were
an Islamic mission has not been verified;
- the London attacks are said to have come out of Pakistan, and
the 9-11 hijackers are said to have been Saudis, yet these two
countries are on very friendly terms with the US, which has obligingly
focused its "war on terror" elsewhere.

Chatham
House: New report on terrorism and the UK
The report claims that there is ‘no doubt’ that the invasion of Iraq
has imposed particular difficulties for the UK and for the wider
coalition against terrorism ... acts of terror can also give
communities the chance to pull-together and help each other
YYC: That
last bit bothers me a little. When people start
implying that disasters are good because they bring people together in
a common cause, it makes me wonder if that's how activities that result
in payback are rationalized in advance. 9-11 had the effect of
pulling Americans together behind Bush, and Blair certainly hasn't had
the support of the people that he would like. That's just one of
the reasons people suspect that these things are allowed to happen.
And guess who else would like more public
support - our Canadian PM. Once he got over his attack of
diarrhea, I'm sure he could come out sounding strong and determined to
protect us all from more of the same. The lingo has already been
written for him by the Bush administration. Why even Rick Hillier
has learned it by heart - "they hate our freedoms, our
liberty..."

UK's
Revolutionary Communist Group's Statement on the London Bombings
The suffering of ordinary people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine at
the hands of US, British and Israeli armies is ignored or excused. It
can be no surprise that the youth are misled by zealots into believing
they are fighting imperialism. The bombs in London did not fight Bush
and Blair, they added to the imperialist slaughter. The bombers did
nothing to defeat imperialist terror: they added to the suffering it
inflicts.
The future of humanity lies in the hands of human beings, acting
together to meet their common needs and to solve their problems. The
slaughter generated by imperialist terror and by the agents and puppets
of imperialism must stop. Our aim is to build a movement to oppose war
and to defeat imperialism. We ask you to join us.
YYC: I can certainly
join this
aim in spirit. The future of humanity does completely lie in the
hands of the people, who must refuse to fight or allow their taxes to
support hegemonic wars.
CairoMag:
Magdy Al Nashar, a chemist of humble origins who had made it in his
studies, protests his innocence "It is well known that Egypt
has asked many countries, including the UK, to extradite many fugitives
that the UK gave asylum to, like Yasser al-Sirri against whom there is
a death sentence in Egypt, and these countries used to refuse," he
said, adding that President Hosni Mubarak has repeatedly called for an
international anti-terrorism conference.
YYC: Considering all
the
western trumpeting of the "war on terror" one has to wonder why
repeated requests for an international anti-terrorism conference have
been ignored. More indication that there is no war on terror -
that there is just war for oil and hegemony?
I must admit I'm a bit worried that Egypt will
use this guy as nothing more than a poker chip. Talk about being
between a rock and hard place - the UK wants him for a scapegoat - as
proof there's a war on terror.
CTV:
U.K. probing Canadian link to bombings: report
"And what we are confronting here is an evil ideology. ... It is a
battle of ideas, of hearts and of minds, both within Islam and outside
it."The friends of at least two of the suicide bombing suspects have
suggested they were angry over the British military presence in Iraq.
But Blair insisted there was no link between Islamic terrorism and the
situation in Iraq, where Britain is the second-largest partner in the
U.S.-led coalition.
YYC: Pretty much the whole
world is
angry over the British (and US and Italian, etc.) military presence in
Iraq. That makes us all potential terrorists, for sure.
But wait - Tony Blair says that's not the
reason. It's all simply a battle between Good (the west ) and
Evil (the fanatical Muslims - many of whom are British and American and
Italian, etc). And if Tony Blair says it, then it must be true.
The puzzle is how to weed out the good from
the bad. I suggest we all review the process used to diagnose the
witches
at Salem.
I'm surprised it took them this long to
consider that Canada's
Momin Khawaja might have been, could have been semi,
partly, perhaps connected with, or knew somebody who might have been
marginally, bordering on possibly knowing somebody who might have been
involved or at least had thoughts about the London bombings. He
denies it, therefore he must be guilty.

Uruknet: The
birth of the London bomb Official Story
You can practically hear the click at that moment in the life of every
conspiracy when the police investigation turns into the Official Story.
At that point, the investigation is intended to 'fix the facts' to the
Official Story, and the cover-up begins. The story of the London bombs
has made this transformation within the last twenty-four hours.

DailyMail:
Young and British - the London suicide bombers
YYC: A worried mother describes what her son was wearing, and
police find similar clothing in the wreckage, so the Daily Mail
translates that into all four being identified by their distinctive
clothing. Well, why not. They're all guilty as sin, aren't they?
There was even "an apparent bomb factory" found. But is the owner
connected to the four who were charged? Doesn't matter -
he'll never be found because he skipped country. What matters is
that you remember that a bomb factory was found. Spit Spot!
Official story laid out all neat and tidy. Next "official"
headline:
Adnkronos:
Identities of Bombers Revealed
A friend of the younger two bombers told the Times newspaper: "Shehzad
was the sort of person who would always tell the young kids that they
should stay out of trouble and make something of their life. Hasib was
also someone I looked up to, even though he was a year younger than me.
He was a real gentle giant. He went on the Haj [pilgrimage to Saudi
Arabia] a couple of years ago and grew a beard for that, but he never
came across as any sort of a fanatic."
YYC: If you're a
"wild" young
Muslim you're scary; if you settle down, you're even scarier.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman stressed: "I
want to make it absolutely clear that no-one should be in any doubt,
the work last Thursday is that of extremists and criminals.
YYC: Maybe I
shouldn't be in
doubt, but I am anyway, Assistant Commissioner Hayman - because the
young men described above don't sound like what you're saying the
bombers must be. Being good right up to the last minute is not
consistent with being a criminal.
Those boys knew each other, and are last
seen on cameras not with their heads together plotting, but
chatting amiably and then moving on as casually as anyone else.
They wanted people to know who they were, says
the press, so they carried ID. As did everyone else on the trains
and buses! More damning evidence - they carried rucksacks!
As do all the young people, and many not-so-young, nowadays.
The "strong
forensic evidence" has provided "proof" of one bomber - and that
was only that clothing found near where they think a bomb went off was
"similar" to what his parents said their missing son was wearing.
But like
the 9-11
"hijackers",
they have all been named, tried, and convicted in the media headlines.
To this day, without a shred of evidence,
despite the fact that their names never showed up on any passengers
lists, and despite the fact that about half
of them have turned up alive and well, the official story is that
19 young Muslim suiciders hijacked planes and, although outnumbered by
male passengers many of whom had military training, they intimidated
with only box cutters and successfully carried out the events of Sept.
11, 2001.
I hope the police are considering the possibility that these London
boys were set up, and that maybe they hadn't a clue what was in their
rusksacks - if bombs were there at all.
Having
coincidentally come across the film "In the
Name of the Father"
last week and seeing how the British police have operated in the past
when they're desperate to show they can deal with terrorists, I can't
help wondering if anything has changed.
"We must find the mastermind," shout the
police. But that's another thing I'm doubting - that they will
try any harder to find the mastermind than they have to find the
mysterious bin Ladens and Zarqawis. These boogie people are more
valuable when they're not found - dead and/or alive.
CBC TV report confirms London terror "drill"
at same stations and same time as real attack.
YYC: What a
coincidence. There were drills going on prior to and on Sept.
11, 2001. Awfully generous of the terrorists to coordinate
their attacks with the readiness programs.
Straightgoods:
London Spin - G8 leaders persisted in using tragedy to further their
own agendas.
The most powerful suits in the world were gathered to survey the world

control what happens in your own backyard.

I'd like to know why the hell Israel has
entered into this! First they report that Scotland Yard informed
Israel there was an attack coming. Why would Scotland Yard get on
the blower to Israel? Isn't there something else they should have
been doing? Then Israel denies it got such a report. And
always there has to be a line about a previously unknown "Al-Qaeda"
group taking responsibility on a website for which the URL is never
provided.
And of course, the big concern is always the
stock market. Can you imagine being the type of person who
immediately starts thinking about one's stocks the minute one hears of
a disaster? ... Or the minute one gets word that a disaster is
coming!
I
hope Paul Martin was wearing his brown pants. If there's another
roundup by CSIS in Canada of "terrorists" we'll know that this
incident has had the desired effect.
I feel for the regular people of London (or anywhere) who have to take
buses and trains - unlike the VIPs who travel in limousines and remain
