London Bomb Planner May Be Brit-Born Aswad

Update: Check out Hyscience for more on terrorism

via Drudge--

Terror investigators hunting the London bombing mastermind are to question a suspected Al Qaeda planner held in Pakistan. British-born Haroon Rashid Aswad was seized at a religious school with a suicide bomb belt, explosives and GBP 13,000 in cash.

Security sources in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, claim he had up to 20 telephone conversations with London bombers Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer. One of these is believed to have been just hours before the blasts.

However, Pakistan is denying report.

Meanwhile, British secret agencies have started proper investigation here to track down the terrorists involving in London bomb blasts. Sources said that British secret agencies personnel were staying in five-star hotel and the strict security measure have been taken in and outside the hotel.

They said that British secret agencies and Pakistani police would make surprise visits to those Madaris in the city whom they suspected are imparting education about terrorism.

dan

he had contact with all of the suicide bombers and the egyptian guy now in custody AS WELL AS UBL

that is what i am being told

[usmcmom]

MrsJimi,
Are you a mom or an undercover agent lol? In case you missed O'Reilly tonite our friends from the north at the CBC basically state that they will not report them as terrorists. See they're "freedom fighters". Freedom Fighters, yea, gotta love the Canadians.

[(((( MrsJimiHendrix ))))]

usmcmom

that has been the case since this all started

Reuters news started this with the quote, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"

i will plead the fifth on the rest of your question : )

[usmcmom]

lol better watch out before someone does a "Novak" on you :)

[proudredneck]

Canada has to say what they have to say. After all, Patricia's Army sent all their troops to Afghanistan and they are both still there.

Re: Your title: " Aswad"....is that word missing an "s"? Sorry, couldn't resist!

[Not a Hand Wringer.]

I'm not surprised that Fox news junkies cannot understand why the CBC suggests that the word 'terrorist' be used in moderation in news reports.

It requires comprehension and rational that is beyond the capability of the average O'Reilly fan who thinks that anyone who isn't watching Fox, listening to Toby Keith records and praying to their Jesus of Texas poster is called a terrorist.

Fox news can't hold a candle to the CBC in terms of balanced and insightful reporting, and discussion of current events.

Discussion of course meaning when people talk without yelling at each other.

Fox news is a disgrace to news, and like MacDonalds food...if that's all you feed yourself intellectually, you'll turn brain cells into fat cells.

Even O'Reilly himself is sporting a rather fatty series of chins these days, which is about the best thing I can say about that douche-bag.

[clintcarter]

Did you see the report about 25,000! killed Iraqi civilians? will investigators be sent to the villages where children of decent Iraqi folk see their family spread upon the branches after a US bomb attack? Terrorists are being bred there right now. Remember what 20-30 men could do? We have been fortunate, but an action that even on the face of it looks so blatantly self-interested has not only squandered the opportunity of a crystalline moment 4 yrs. ago but turned the objective viewer against us. We have become the bully. The last time I had to deal with a bully was in high school. Grownups make a rational, logical, socially-concious attempt to look at the bigger picture. It's what separates us from the animals.

Now now Not Wringer feeling better? Don't hold it in ...

Using the word terrorist in moderation. Why am I gonna hurt their feelings or something? How very PC of you.

But I do agree, O'Reilly is pompous, but that's what makes him so much fun as a "commentator". He's the guy you love to hate.

Don't you just love blogs and the freedom to post your opinions... yea, i thought so.... I'll just tell my son you said thanks.

[proudredneck]

USMC Mom, thank your son for this humble taxpayer who willingly speaks appreciation for our men and women in combat, whose fight for freeom, allows dolts like those above to be able to express their opinion. Sadly, he has to give them a right to speak as well as others who support him all the way!

[clintcarter]

"Sadly, he has to give them a right to speak..."

What stupidity. I don't agree with you so it's ME that doesn't appreciate the troops? Get Bent.
I'm sick of the position that says if you oppose our action in Iraq you're not 'patriotic'. I'm for what's best for this country in the long run, and the illegal war in Iraq is NOT it. NOR is it a fight for FREEDOM. NOR is it a war against terrorism. What bunk.

If I don't agree with YOU, Redneck, YOU'RE on the USA side and I'M on the other side? Such drivel. SEE, I think YOU are HIDING behind those troops you say you 'appreciate', probably getting fat in front of the teevee instead of working in your community, eh, REDNECK, you 'dolt'; WEAK and eager to toe the party line so you're on the STRONG side, while I am sticking my neck out and standing up for what's GOOD for America's future. How about them apples, eh? I'm sick of insulting illogical opinions like yours, REDNECK!

I'd be real interested in your definition of FREEDOM. The right to do whatever you want, perhaps? To most of the world, Freedom is the freedom from oppression, not the freedom to impose your will on other countries. Rah, RAH, Sis Boom Bah! Go Team! Moron.

Truly Support the Troops! Bring them home!

well that is one more terrorist shot dead trying to press the button.

but you dont know that yet!

[clintcarter]

BEEBEE,
So your plan is to keep killing the bug-a-boo before the bug-a-boo kills you? Look around you; the bug-a-boo is everywhere. Compare the # of deaths by terrorist (not military combatants) in the US and allies to the # of murders in this country. While the limited # of terrorists drag our leaders around by their noses big $$ is going to our #1 industry, WAR, (and second thought, maybe some of our leaders like that idea, right?) and vital national concerns go underfunded.

BUT you're willing to use that young soldier as a human shield to stand behind and cheer while they go out and kill the big bad bug-a-boo for you, even if it means killing thousands of 'non-combatants'? And it's ME that's putting the soldiers in harm's way by speaking out against this war? Are we so clumsy that we must be so imprecise in attaining our goals? We need leadership willing to think radically about the future and seek health for the World. No Sh*t.

To the young mother with a baby in pieces, how is her loss any less than a relative of 9/11? It is this callous disegard for the world's innocents that makes our Iraqi occupation (notice how you don't hear that word?) so indefensible, arrrogant, and murderous. The last approach that will stop terrorism.

So, BEEBEE and REDNECK, teach me. HOW will our occupation of Iraq lead to a reduction in terrorism???
I'm sick of all the strength it takes to be on the so-called 'weak side'. Please teach me. You who are so brave to stand behind the armed and mighty, waving your flag.

Really, explain it to me. Step up to the plate.

Sincerely, DOLT

UK is being terrorized. very sad day. trying very hard to seperate muslims from muslim extreamest

[Tanya]

now is the time for the canadian primeminister to begin protecting us canadians

Prime Minister Paul Martin:

"Today, we have been witness to acts of cowardice and terror. The London bombings are an unspeakable attack on the innocent and on a way of life.

On behalf of all Canadians, I have extended to Prime Minister Blair the condolences and the sympathies of our nation. We pray for those who have lost their lives, and for their families.

Canadian security forces are working closely with those of Great Britain. We stand ready to provide any assistance that may be required at this difficult hour and in the days and weeks ahead.

Our collective freedom has come under attack today by those who would use violence and murder to force extremism upon the world. We must and we will stand against these terrorists. We will do so together. And we will prevail."

Phoning home on Thursday morning, Martin ordered the flags on Canadian government buildings to fly at half-mast as a sign of mourning.

So, BEEBEE and REDNECK, teach me. HOW will our occupation of Iraq lead to a reduction in terrorism???

Oops, looks as if the "freedom fighters" are at it again today. Clint/Carter exactly what freedom are they fighting for in these attacks in Britain today... has Britain denied their citizens freedom of speech.. hmmm nope, they have it, freedom of religion...got that one too, hmmm freedom to assemble... hmm that's intact. This is TERRORISM, pure and simple from a radical element. Clint/Carter the bullies are the terrorists... not the British people/government.

Just a little quote from someone whose been thru this all before...
"Do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time." 10/5/38 - Winston Churchill

Yea, remember that pesky little time between 1938-1945 when millions of "civilians" were gassed and slaughtered. Good thing there were some folks willing "to stand behind the armed and mighty, waving your flag." Do you remember your History, about 60-70% of American were so hot about helping Britain/France,et.al., on that little problem as well. We Americans can be very selfish and a self-serving bunch when we want to be... but when it comes to Iraq/Afghanistan I think we can look to the past and see that history was about to start repeating itself.

Clint/Carter please accept the fact that I obviously disagree with you on your viewpoint. But please don't be so naive to think that I am ignorant of the facts. You and and NotSoHandWringer need to understand that I get the same news and information that you receive from CNN/FOX/NYTimes/WSJ, it's just that my life experiences, my family background (1st generation American) filter that news and interpret it from a different perspective. Nothing more/nothing less.

[usmcmom]

correction-that should be ("NOT" so hot about helping out Britain/France et.al.) yes people, Americans back then didn't think we needed to help out the Brits back then... it really wasn't our problem you see, just a bunch of Jews, Gypsies, and Homosexuals getting "Bullied", it had nothing to do with us directly... so really why bother

[blu]

SUMCmom - While it's true that there were quite a few Isolationist in the run up to the US's entrance into WWII, don't forget that quite a few Americans felt stongly enough about the war that they signed up in other countries' air forces and armies. And after Pearl Harbor the majority of US was all for gettin' a little revenge.

I think of America and England as brothers, England is the older and more mature one. We fight like brothers...but let some outsider mess with either one of us, and the other has our six. Of course, America being the younger brother means we have to take the risky moves, be more brash...be more Cowboy-like!

[clintcarter]

Uh, USMCmom, we have no argument about what terrorism is or whether England is decent to it's citizens. If you read my words you'll see that I have a central theme and asked a pointed question. Your response does not address the issue at all. Emotions are everywhere. I was looking for logic.
So, again:
How does our action in Iraq lead to a reduction in terrorism? I say that it does not and never will. What do you say and why? Nobody has come to the plate.

[!]

If you have ever caught Micheal Savage on the radio in the evenings while going to the store at night or where ever you should read his web page. I caught part of his show on the radio tonite about these terrorist in England doing all the harm to others. He had it right on tonite on his show. I laugh a lot when I hear his show. He makes everything interesting and tells the truth and yet funny at the same time.

[clintcarter]

OK, I see all the nasty images and words on that angry nasty insulting child's site. If logic were dynamite that a**hole couldn't blow his nose.
They're BAD. BAD! BAD! KILL, KILL!! We GOOD, GOOD! GOOD! KILL, KILL, KILL!! GO USA!!! Where are the pictures of what OUR bombs do to INNOCENT people? But NO; THEY hurt us! KILL! KILL! You no want dead Iraqi civilians? You BAD too! BAD American! You BAD! KILL! KILL!

Now, AGAIN. HOW will our action in Iraq lead to an end (or even reduction) in terrorism?

[clintcarter]

That guy really pi**es me off. Tell him for me. Damn Liberals getting in the way of his bloodbath. Weak punk wanting the USA to extract his pound of flesh so he can feel less impotent in this frightening world. I could do the same website filled with graphic photos of bad sh*t we've done to people. Does that make ME a bad American?
That evil man's fear and anger blind him to life. Oh, great, show me another murdered headless body. Look in the mirror, Micheal, your kind make murderous intentions thrive.
Don't fret. I'll go tell him in person. A**hole.

[iremember]

Holy Sh*t!
