Al-Qaeda Groups Seek Nuclear Material for U.K. Attack (Update1)

By Robin Stringer

Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Al-Qaeda groups are trying to obtain nuclear, chemical and biological material to use in terrorist attacks in the U.K., the Foreign Office in London said.

``Absolutely, we believe these organizations are trying to get hold of this material,'' the Foreign Office said in a statement read by a spokesman today.

The announcement follows a warning from the head of the U.K.'s domestic intelligence service, MI5, that the country faces as many as 30 terrorist plots. MI5 Director General Eliza Manningham-Buller, who rarely speaks in public, said her agency is investigating 200 networks comprising 1,600 individuals.

``Today we see the use of home-made improvised explosive devices but I suggest tomorrow's threat will include the use of chemical, bacteriological agents, radioactive materials and even nuclear technology,'' Manningham-Buller said in a Nov. 10 address to academics in London.

Dhiren Barot, a 34-year-old convert to Islam, was sentenced on Nov. 7 in London to 40 years in prison for plotting attacks in the U.S. and the U.K. Barot, the first British Muslim to be sentenced for attempting to commit mass murder through acts of terrorism, was accused of conspiring with al-Qaeda figures to detonate a radioactive ``dirty bomb'' in the U.K.

Other Suspects

More than 60 other suspects are on trial or awaiting trial in the U.K. on terrorism charges that include allegations of plots to detonate a massive fertilizer bomb and to attack trans- Atlantic airliners.

The Foreign Office said it will focus on the four ``Ps'' of its ``Contest'' program to reduce the risk posed by international terrorism: prevent the radicalization of young Muslims; pursue terrorists; prepare to deal with the aftermath of any attack; and protect buildings and people at home and overseas.

``We hope to use the first two to prevent the last two,'' the Foreign Office said in the statement. The program, which started last year, is led by the Cabinet Office.

Many U.K. terrorism plots were linked to al-Qaeda in Pakistan, Manningham-Buller said. Four Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 people in attacks on three subway trains and a bus in London on July 7, 2005. Three of the bombers were British-born of Pakistani origin, the fourth a Muslim convert of Jamaican origin.

The Foreign Office said it isn't blaming other countries for not doing enough to combat extremists.

``We are not pointing the finger of blame at anyone, we're trying to extend the finger of help,'' the Foreign Office said.

Hmmm. Reminds me of propaganda that we used to hear of back in the 1960s about communist groups in the USA. Luckily, none of those myths which were promoted by the FBI ever tured out to be true. It is just as likely that the myths being promoted by the British version of the FBI will not turn out to be true as well.

Bloomberg truth….

“Mayor Bloomberg, New York state officials and the Dept. of Homeland Security don't believe it's terrorism, but blame the outages on the overloading of the Niagara-Mohawk power grid, starting from an unknown incident on the Canadian side of the border.”

Fact: On November 19, 2003, the U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force released an interim report placing the cause of the blackout on FirstEnergy Corporation's failure to trim trees in part of its Ohio service area. The report said that a generating plant in Parma, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, went off-line amid high electrical demand, and strained high-voltage power lines later went out of service when they came in contact with "overgrown trees". It also found that FirstEnergy did not take remedial action or warn other control centers until it was too late because of a bug in the Unix-based General Electric Energy's XA/21 system [2] that prevented alarms from showing on their control system [3], and they had inadequate staff to detect and correct the software bug. The cascading effect that resulted ultimately forced the shutdown of more than 100 power plants.

Bloomberg has an agenda and that agenda has nothing to do with what’s truly going on in the world.

Trust the little boy who cried wolf more than the Ameican press and Bloomberg in particular and you have a bettter chance of reading and hearing the truth.

That is exactly the same kind of evidence, us,uk and the whole"coalition of the 'brave'" (for some) 'chicken'"( for others) use for the war on terror, the anthrax attack after september 11,where alqueada letter were in the same enveloope said "allah is great, all americans will die, bla bla bla" , just to scare the public, then investigation pointed out to an insidejob, from us lab in maryland.

That shows the credibility of this war on terror,western media, even alqueada and the "leaders of the free world".

Do you realize that the guy on the complete left, works for ISI, a personal friend of george tenet and cia??


this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_General_Mahmood_Ahmad

Mahmoud Ahmad is an ex-head of the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (also Inter-Services Intelligence or I.S.I.), the principal intelligence body of the nation of Pakistan. Mahmoud Ahmad was known to be in America on regular visits of consultation with senior officials in the U.S. administration in the weeks before and after 9/11 and was with Republican Congressman Porter Goss and Democratic Senator Bob Graham in Washington, discussing Osama bin Laden over breakfast, when the attacks of September 11, 2001 happened. He was immediately called into meetings with American officials where demands of Pakistani cooperation were made and he was told to convey this to the Pakistani government.
In early October 2001, Indian intelligence alleged that Mahmoud had ordered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh — the convicted mastermind of the kidnapping and killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl — to wire US$100,000 from Dubai to one of 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta's two bank accounts in Florida.
Ahmad opposed the US invasion of Afghanistan, arguing that the Taliban, for all its faults was still better for Pakistan. He was retired from his role in the ISI on 8 October 2001, just prior to the US invasion of Afghanistan.

ISI -- government agency in Pakistan which the government most loyal to Bush.

Saddam Hussein -- avowed enemy of al-Qaeda.

Al-Zarqawi -- avowed enemy of Saddam

Moussaoui -- admitted into USA by Bush's Department of Justice


Looks like a movie for Republicans to enjoy and to celebrate with.

This is just a question gopher. Not an attack.

Is everything that does not support your views, propoganda?

Cut the crap, buddy.

You and others need to understand that what you are hearing is nothing more than war propaganda designed to stir up more war hysteria. Whether you like it or not, the vast majority of Americans are against Bush's war. We have grown tired of the lies, innuendo, right wing propaganda, and media control that the right wingers have foisted on us for all these years.

If you have the sense to do so ask yourself this question: If al-Qaeda was going to telegraph its plans why didn't they do so before 9/11?

Obviously, AQ knows how tired Americans have grown of this stupid war. WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY BE GIVING ANY FORM OF IMPETUS FOR BUSH?? If you had any sense at all you would know that nobody is going to try to make Bush look good, especially after he was greatly embarassed by the election.

They did.

They tried to blow up the WTC in 1993.


And of course you forgot those precise facts.....


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing

In the course of the trial it was revealed that the FBI had an informant, a former Egyptian army officer named Emad A. Salem. Salem claims to have informed the FBI of the plot to bomb the towers as early as February 6, 1992. Salem's role as informant allowed the FBI to quickly pinpoint the conspirators out of the hundreds of possible suspects.
Salem, initially believing that this was to be a sting operation, claimed that the FBI's original plan was for Salem to supply the conspirators with a harmless powder instead of actual explosive to build their bomb, but that the FBI chose to use him for other purposes instead. [4] He secretly recorded hundreds of hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handlers; reported by Ralph Blumenthal in the New York Times, Oct. 28, 1993, secton A,Page 1.
In December 1993, James M. Fox, the head of the FBI's New York Office, denied that the FBI had any foreknowledge of the attacks.[citation needed] The 1993 WTC sting operation was depicted as a false flag operation and was a plot device for the 1996 movie The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis.
