London, Feb 5 (ANI): UK Police has uncovered a terrifying plot by al Qaeda to murder Britsh Members of Parliament.
Police were last night urgently probing the plan, hatched on a website used by terrorists and their supporters. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith was informed amid calls for extra protection for all 646 MPs.
Security sources said the threat could require measures not seen since the height of the IRA attacks, the Daily Star reported.
The plot was found on a password-protected Internet message board on a site, which has carried an interview with Osama bin Laden’s No.2 Ayman al Zawahiri.
A user named Paganslayer asks what the mood is for another round of deadly attacks on the continent. There follows a warped discussion about the 7/7 London bombings, which killed 52 innocent people.
Using the Arabic word "kuffar", meaning "non-believers", a user called Resistance writes: "What does it benefit a Muslim to have four Muslim lives lost … for only 100 kuffar? I think that’s horrible odds."
Resistance adds: "Now, wouldn’t it have been better to not target a train unless that train had parliament members riding it?"
Paganslayer replies it would take "a miracle" to attack the Houses of Parliament but Resistance tells him: "I didn’t mention the Parliament House. I said its ‘members’."
Paganslayer then writes in Arabic "may Allah reward you", to thank Resistance for the suggestion.
Police were last night investigating and security sources said the threat could affect MPs anywhere away from Parliament, not just on trains., the paper reported. (ANI)
Funny, my thinking is the exact opposite.
Why waste a single non-moslem life to kill less than a thousand of them?
We have the means.
LET’S USE THEM.
And by the WAY.. WHY are ANY of them still in any European country?
Are we INSANE?
Winston Churchill must be biting through his cigar just about NOW!
So – not a plot – just some angry youths mouthing off on a board then.
What a big surprise.
Millions of people have similarily said they would like to kill Bliar – so, can anybody remind me how many arrests we have had for terrorist plotted attempts on Bliars life?
One quote: “Scotland Yard anti-terror chief, Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick, initially told the Commons Counter-Terrorism Bill standing committee that 15 plots had been foiled since the July 7 attacks in 2005. This was later corrected to since 2000. Several plots have already come to court and are known to the public.”
So – what they are saying is that there was “several” plots – and they let all the rest of the terrorist plots get away with attempted mass killings.
Hardly believable.
In all those years – there was only “several” plots – so how could 4,000 dangerous blood thirsty UK terrorists be so lazy – with that many we should be having at least one plot a week.
The answer is we do not have 4,000 – or even 2,000 of known terrorists – the minimum figure oft quoted – it is about propaganda and scraremongering.
