Although not describing any of the details of the plot, CNN claims that a significant spike in the number of drone attacks against targets in Pakistan – some 20 in the past month – has been directly connected to the attempt to disrupt its implementation. This is more than double the monthly average of such strikes. The Herald Sun also reports that eight Algerians linked to the plot have also been arrested.
Sky’s full report is reproduced below:
Intelligence agencies have intercepted a terror plot to launch Mumbai-style attacks on London and other European cities, according to Sky News sources.Sky's foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said militants based in Pakistan were planning simultaneous attacks on London and other major British cities.
The group - thought to be linked to Al Qaeda - were then planning similar attacks in France and Germany.
He said the plot was in the "advanced but not imminent stage" and the plotters had been tracked by spy agencies for some time.
Intelligence sources said the planned attacks would have been similar to the commando-style raids carried out in Mumbai.

ReplyDeleteIf any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Hi Pete. I'm really not sure what you're digging at with your florid comment. You're surely not suggesting that we Europeans have been asking for this attack because we don't take the contents of a randomly chosen book to be the truth are you? The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius don't contain any of these bloodthirsty passages. If I had to choose a book circa 2,000 years old by which to live my life, I think that I'd opt for that over the Bible any day. There are plenty of other greats from Classical civilisation to choose from which don't involve a petulant sadistic deity.
ReplyDeleteFlorid. The last time I heard that word it was used to describe someones nose. As an aside, I notice the brave West Midlands police have apologised for even contemplating putting up cctv cameras in largely muslim areas. Also, as i've not seen a link anywhere else (I suppose it could be seen as being biased), there was a rather good article posted today by David Hammilton on the your bnp/bnp reform site. Worth reading. Cygnus.
