| 2006-06-02 |
| Accounts from the scene by al-Guardian: As anti-terrorist officers wearing specialist protective clothing continue their search of the terraced house in Forest Gate they raided this morning, more details began to emerge from the hundred onlookers thronging the high street alongside Lansdown Road. Witnesses described to reporters at the scene the moment when at least 25 armed police officers smashed the front window of what is believed to be 46 Lansdown Road at dawn and brought out two men, who they claimed were brothers. The elder was wearing a bloodstained shirt and being supported by a police officer, while the younger man walked down in boxer shorts with his hands tied behind his back with cables. cable ties, plastic handcuffs One of the neighbours, Nimesh Patel described how the officer then heaved the injured man off his shoulder and leant him up against the wall outside. |

| #18 "It is traditional that in this country you cannot have jihad." Keep this sh!t up and "jihad" will just be another word alongside Etruscan vocabulary in a compendium of dead languages. |

| #16 I'd also think it funny to not have anyone infiltrate as Chechnyans but let it slip to the NY Times (who would no doubt print it) that we've got a number of agents within Al Queda sells pretending to be Chechnyans. Then watch as Chechnyan bodies start turning up. No way the NYT would print that. You gotta add some of the spin they like -- say, we have agents posing as Chechnyans, and they've been involved in some (minor) attacks. That makes us look bad, but should be enough to set off the bloodbath. |

| #15 Apostate, you bring up an interesting idea. A few years ago when talking about profiling it came up again and again that it doesn't work because Muslims can look caucasion, at least those in Chechnya and Iran. So they can blend. Blending goes both ways. I'd also think it funny to not have anyone infiltrate as Chechnyans but let it slip to the NY Times (who would no doubt print it) that we've got a number of agents within Al Queda sells pretending to be Chechnyans. Then watch as Chechnyan bodies start turning up. |

| #14 Fascinating how the British press still uses Asian. I mean how unspecific can you be. At least West Asian or subcontinental would narrow it down to a handful of ethnic groups but this term pretty much includes Japanese all the way to Hebrew in one big brushstroke. I also find the term black interesting. It might be accurate, it might be coloqual for Pakistanis, but at least in the US it is generally reserved for Africans. Another sort of wishy-washy term used to prevent Pakistanis from feeling bad? |

| #13 "Red Flag Warning - they took up that old time Religion of Peace" Ah no, that would be the religion of piss founded by the pedophile for profit, Muhamhead. |

| #11 Updates: A man shot by police today in a massive anti-terrorist raid was later arrested in hospital. The 23-year-old was held on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism, Scotland Yard said. A second suspect, aged 20, was arrested under the Terrorism Act during the huge raid in which police forced their way into the house by breaking a ground floor window. He is being held at Paddington Green high security police station. A woman living opposite said: "I have seen the people who live there but they don't talk to us. They are Pakistani." Explosives officers and firearms officers remained at the scene along with firefighters but the HPA later said the risk to the public from harmful substances was considered to be "very low". Police said the search in the property could take several days and a cordon at the end of Lansdown Road was expected to remain in place until it was finished. Workmen were erecting a two-storey high scaffolding screen outside the property this afternoon. It is expected to cover the entire house. Police said officers in the property had spent the day so far photographing the contents of each room before anything was removed for forensic examination. You don't go through this much trouble if you haven't found something. |

| #10 Newer converts (the muslem equivalent to born again) would probably be more fanatical. And more apt to running their mouth. |

| #9 Hopefully, we're beginning to inflitrate these wackos. It's not that difficult to learn the rituals and any fool can learn to talk like a jihadi. Just imagine you've got a two-inch dick and blame it on the infidels. |

| #8 "...mosque just around the corner " What mosque is that? Who preaches there? Who else worships/worshipped there? What US phone numbers have been called or called to that mosque, its preachers or its worshipers? Where have any of these people travelled in the past five years? Do any of these possibly linked people work with or otherwise have access to CBR agents? Etc. |

| #6 Gimme that old time religion Gimme that old time religion Gimme that old time religion, its good enough for me. Don't you miss the good old days when the Old time religions met out in the desert and got into it with broadswords and maces? I kinda wish they would do that now.........but the children of peace in Islam are a bunch of penis envy, impotent, cowardly, sodomites and pedopiles who are too chicken to come out and fight for real. Most of these brave jihadists are a bunch of sissified back stabbers and thumbsuckers. |

| #2 "...It is traditional that in this country you cannot have jihad." Well, yeah, the Brits don't have a tradition of throat slitting Islamonutjobs that goes back more than a few years. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LEAVE! |
