| UK brothers deny chemical plot |
| 2006-06-05 |
| Two brothers suspected of plotting to make a chemical bomb for an attack in Britain have denied all accusations, their lawyers said yesterday, as police continued to search their home. The men, Abul Koyair, 20, and Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, were held during a dawn raid on Friday when more than 250 police officers, some in chemical protection suits, stormed their house in east London. Kahar was shot in the shoulder during the raid, one of the biggest operations since last July's suicide attacks in the British capital, although police said it was not related. Specific intelligence had suggested the house might have been used to make a toxic bomb for an attack in Britain, police sources said. "He says there's absolutely not a word of truth in any of it," Kahar's lawyer Kate Roxburgh told reporters. "He says the police are not going to find anything because there is nothing to find." Koyair's lawyer, Julian Young, said earlier his client had also denied he was involved in any terrorism plot, adding: "To date I have seen no evidence showing that he has been." |

| #2 Scary thought: Let's say you're running a bomb plot, and you hear the police are investigating hundreds of plots. Your plot's coming close to completion, but you're worried about exposure -- and the closer you are to finishing, the more dangerous exposure becomes. So you set up a handful of mooks and get word to the police that they're involved in something more dangerous -- or at least more interesting -- than your plan. Your risk of exposure goes WAY down as the police focus on the mooks, and your political wing can use the incident as a propaganda springboard. |

| #1 The UK press. Government and Police always wrong, islam and terrorist killers always right. Any police use of firearms always wrong, wrong wrong. Socialist "faith" at it best. The BBC was trotting out this kind of crap early Sunday AM west coast time. |
