#1 Continuing on yesterday's theme... Britains MI5 has requested its counterpart in Pakistan to question Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh

Funny that we've got MI5/MI6 in situ to do that job. Confirms that Sheikh is ISI. He is from precisely the same area of London as the 21 currently under arrest - and is similarly middle class and educated like the plot leaders. I'm still waiting for John to source his claims for the meeting between Rauf? and Sheikh - this article intimates a Jaish link which may have alerted ISI - one presumes the scale of the impending plot was too hot for ISI to let through... unlike the tube bombs... due to the US being a target. Keep 'em coming Fred & apologies for thunking aloud.

#2 I'm still waiting for John to source his claims for the meeting between Rauf? and Sheikh

That was a quote from an article by the former Indian spymaster B. Raman.

BOJINKA 2006: Focus On OMAR SHEIKH, RASHID RAUF & PROF.SAYEED

10. While future evidence may prove the initial claims of the British Police to have been correct, the present evidence available from reliable police sources in Pakistan corroborate only the following facts:

* FACT 1: Four or five of those detained by the British Police had gone to Pakistan after the earthquake of October,2005, in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) and in the Balakote area of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) to do humanitarian relief work in camps run by the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JUD), the parent organisation of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET).
* FACT 2: The Jundullah (Army of Allah), a pro-Al Qaeda organisation, took them to its training camp in the Waziristan area, trained them in the fabrication and use of explosives and dropped them back in the JUD quake relief camps.It is not clear whether they contacted the Jundullah and sought training or whether Jundullah contacted them and motivated them to join its jihad against the West.
* FACT 3: Before returning to London, they met Omar Sheikh, who master-minded the kidnapping and beheading of Daniel Pearl, the US journalist in January-February,2002, in his jail in Sindh.Since nobody can meet him without the permission of the jail authorities, the latter must have been aware of their meeting with him and what was discussed. One does not know whether they immediately alerted the British authorities

#3 Many thanks John! Bingo. Will be interesting to see what comes out when they are charged. Meant to say some of the 21 arrested are from the same part of Londonistan as Sheikh.
