SARASOTA, FL. (NS) -
With the arrests in Great Britain and Italy of over 60 Terrorist suspects possibly involved in the plot thwarted by MI5 this week, one has to ask the question, 'what elese were they planning'???
Police are continuing to quiz 22 people arrested over an alleged plot to blow up transatlantic jets in the UK. Meanwhile, the Metroplitan London Police have been granted warrants for the further detention of the suspects until next Wednesday...
A hearing regarding the detention of another individual was adjourned until Monday, and one person has been released with no further action, according to report from the UK...
The Terrorist suspects were held following raids in London, High Wycombe in Bucks, and Birmingham, early on Thursday...
The person whose warrant hearing was adjourned until Monday will remain in custody over the weekend...
Suspect Don Stewart-Whyte changed his name to Abdul Waheed. It appears this individual what a 'home grown' Terrorist...
Those held are suspected of involvement in a plot to blow up airliners travelling from the UK to the US, possibly using liquid explosives hidden in hand luggage. While some press reports are releasing the possible ingredients involved used to make a bomb, we at News Sarasota will not divulge the information for National Security reasons, and we don't think that info should be made public...
Airport security has been stepped up in countries across the Globe, with stringent luggage searches and restrictions on the carrying of liquids on board...
Although services are beginning to return to normal, travellers are being warned to check with airlines before they set off. Long delays have been reported at almost every Airport with Trans Atlantic flights arriving and departing...
Officials in Pakistan said security forces in the country had also arrested two British men of Pakistani origin in connection with the alleged plot, who were picked up in Lahore and Karachi last week...
The Pakistan Foreign Ministry has identified one of the men as Rashid Rauf...
"There are indications of an Afghanistan-based Al-Qaeda connection," a spokesman said. There is also a possible tie between him and al-Qaida. That connection is currently under investigation...
Surveillance:
NEW THREAT LEVELS -
Moderate - an attack is possible but not imminent
Substantial - strong possibility of an attack
Severe - an attack is highly likely
Critical - an attack is expected imminently
These levels are currently in place around the World and are more stringent in the UK and USA where the plot was originally intended to be carried out some time this week...
A Pakistani security official said Rashid Rauf had been put under surveillance after Britain had tipped off Islamabad that he was in Pakistan...
"He has been staying here for quite some time and he has been under strict surveillance since then," the unnamed official added...
Rashid Rauf is thought to be related to Tayib Rauf, 22, who was arrested in Birmingham, England...
He is among the 19 suspects who have had their assets frozen by the Bank of England...
At a news conference on Friday, Home Secretary John Reid said he was "grateful" for the help of the international community, and praised Pakistan in particular, for disrupting the suspected plot...
Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott paid tribute to the way the UK has reacted to an "extraordinary" past 36 hours "in the efforts to protect this country"...
Britain's security threat level remains at "critical" and investigations are continuing...
Detectives are still searching properties where the arrests took place. Officers have also seized computer equipment from three internet cafes in Berkshire - one in Reading and two others in Slough...
Meanwhile in England, British Muslim groups have written an open letter to the prime minister calling for "urgent" changes to the government's foreign policy, because its stance on Iraq and the Middle East is putting civilians at increased risk in the UK and abroad...
Sadiq Khan, one of three MPs to sign the letter along with three peers and 38 groups, said "a sense of injustice" caused by the current approach "plays into the hands of extremists"...
Responding to the letter a Downing Street spokesman said: "We should always remember that the terrorism affecting the West today has blighted Muslim countries for several decades...
"It certainly pre-dated our decision to support democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq and of course the September 11 attacks. Our foreign policy is focused on supporting the people of those countries in their desire to live in a democracy just as we enjoy in the UK."
In the United States, the FBI has not ruled out the possibility there may be people inside the USA that 'could be' involved or have knowledge of this Terrorist plot...
One well respected Journalist has also uncovered a possible Hezbollah connection to the Terror plot and there a re other numerous reports circulating which are as yet unconfirmed...
One thing is most definitely sure, if this lot had not have been uncovered, there was the real possibility of several hundred or perhaps thousands of innocent airline passengers being killed as a result of the Terrorist's actions...
In fact, at least 2 of the Terrorist's had already recorded 'Martyrdom Tapes' to be played after the plot had been done...
There are numerous reports saying a 'dry run' was planned for this week or weekend, with the main attack coming as soon as next week...
While airline passengers are now having to cope with long delays and new rules about 'carry ons', most seem content knowing the reason this is being done...
It is important to note the new carry on rules and be prepared to enter the aircraft with little more than your ID, wallet and prescription in your own name...
There is a complete list of non permitted airliner carry on items that can be seen at www.dhs.gov ...
Finally, I would like to once again point out to those who think we can negotiate with Terrorist's who are sworn to ours and the free World's destruction as we now know it, there is NO negotiation...
These Radical Islamic Findamentalist's are fighting a Radical Islamic Religious War against ALL of us and Israel. Their principle goal is to instill Islam as the Religion of the World THEY want to create...
These same Radical Islamic Fundamentalist Groups believe the United States is 'weak'. They have watched what has happened in the past and are master manipulators of guiding news events towards their agenda...
That's why Al-Jazeera has become their newspaper of choice and the internet a device they know all to well how to use for their own advantage...
The American people and those in the Free World need to wake up and realize what is going on. This terror plot is only of possibly many we don't even know about...
These Radicals are planning, and replanning each and every day trying to inflict as many casualties as they can on 'us' so we will do what they expect us to do, "CUT & RUN"...
Keep that in mind the next time someone tries to explain how the United States has gotten caught up in a 1,400 + Relgious War that dates back to the Crusades...
For Now That's Just "OUR" Opinion...
