Worth looking back about a month or so. A thred by Globe. It turned out that he was white supremecist who, in the past, had plotted to kill MLK...
Why do you say there's no terrorist threat here?
We're at war with al-Queda and an international alliance of other Islamic extremists...rightly or wrongly, that's irrelevent. So long as the UK is supporting Bush's foreign policy in the middle east etc...we are a target, that's patently obvious. Al-Queda would love to strike here, there can be no doubt of that.
Further concliusion - terrorist attacks are impossible to stop.
It's also why the poor bastards from Belmarsh aren't being given trials etc.
Their defence is more than likely to be - "What Al-Quaeda?"
As there is no proof that it exists outside the minds of those currently ushering in a police state, they would have to let them go.
There has still been no proof of who did the 9/11 attacks. A video of someone who vaguely resembles a terrorist? Get real, how do you know there wasn't some US general pointing a gun at him in a cell in Alabama?
That comment is so retarded I had to laugh. Do you have any idea how many terrorist attacks our security services have blocked?
Please, stay to the Sex and Drugs board :thumb:
Since the IRA packed it in and the rabbit huggers stopped blowing up world of leather, I am wanting the amount of "Al - Quaeda" terror attacks that have been prevented.
what a prick.
are you sure you would be told aboutevery foiled attack?
There was a Norwegian research insititute i read about a while back, they put the number of foiled terrorist attacks in Europe at around 15.
Obviously we would be the premier target in Europe of al-Queda.
I seriously don't know how you can say , there have been reports of arrests related to possible terrorist activity and reports of plots themselves being foiled.
Just because a successful attack hasn't yet been launched against UK targets doesn't mean it won't happen at some point in the future. Remember what happened in Spain?
On the current course of foreign policy - we are a target. British troops troops are occupying Iraq along with the Americans, and our troops come under attack just the same as the yanks...American or British, we're the same target to al-Queda as long as we occupy areas of the middle east.
how comes noone been charged and found guilty even if in a protected court
Of these, 17 have been convicted of terrorist offences, about 120 have been charged under anti-terrorism legislation and 135 have been convicted under other laws.
from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4388863.stm
itd be good know what terroist offences theyve been found guilty under
and not just "found guilty of being wanted by the home offce to be seen to be doing something"
yeah but if we were told that then "the terrorists would win" :rolleyes:
Yes because they were just sitting in their homes watching Corrie with a cup of hot tea when evil, rebel British militia burst through the front door murdered the kids and wife and dragged them (screaming) to a gulag - never to be seen again.
Our intelligence and ‘Secret’ services are employed to protect us, not to round up innocent Muslims so as to be seen doing something. Are some completely innocent of all charges? Perhaps, but that is unlikely, especially where the British are concerned. We are not blinded by hate and fury as we are yet to witness a 9/11 in England. The threat from terror is very real, more then you care to realise.
Having Irish accents in the wrong part of town?
700 arrests to detain 17 people? laughable.
The guy in the article was guilty of having a soldiers address. I mean for fucks sake, what sort of crime is that? You could arrest half of most barracks towns on that basis. :eek2:
Most people arrested under anti-terrorism laws will be then charged and convicted under normal laws (eg conspiracy to murder, firearm offences, explosive offences).
Those charged will include some people who've been found innocent, but will also include many whose cases have not yet come to court. Some of them will have their charges converted to normal criminal ones.
Despite having a strong Irish accent I've never been arrested under anti-terrorism, so I suspect it needs more than that. And he wasn't charged with just have a soldiers address, but "possessed a document, namely a piece of paper, containing the name and home address of a UK soldier - information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" which is actually quite different.
which happened to be a newspaper cutting.......
:rolleyes:
yes, the man is charged with having a newspaper clipping .......
:grump:
What a sad state of affairs... :no:
so arrest the editor of the news paper for endangering the life of the soldier while your at it :yeees:
