Life, as we don't know it

MI5 admits: we've run out of leads on bombers

Anybody surprised? It's quite obvious that this whole operation was carried out by western interests and in my humbler opinion the bombers were patsies who likely didn't even know they were going to be blown up.....

MI5 admits: we've run out of leads on bombers
David Leppard
A LEAKED secret document reveals that MI5 has discovered almost nothing about the worst terrorist attack against Britain despite months of investigation.

After the biggest MI5 and police inquiry ever mounted, a secret report for Tony Blair and senior ministers into the July 7 London bombings states: “We know little about what three of the bombers did in Pakistan, when attack planning began, how and when the attackers were recruited, the extent of any external direction or assistance and the extent and role of any wider network.”

The eight-page report, by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC), admits that MI5 still does not know whether the attacks of July 7 and July 21 were linked and whether Al-Qaeda chiefs were behind them.

“The last few weeks have seen few significant developments . . . and we are not that much further on in our assessment,” the report notes.

Referring to the MI5 codenames for both terror plots, the report states: “There is still no intelligence to link the Stepford (July 7) and Hat (July 21) attacks; we still do not know whether we are dealing with an orchestrated campaign or coincidental/copycat attacks.

“We do not know how, when and with whom the attack planning originated. And we still do not know what degree of external assistance either group had.

“Whilst investigations are progressing, there remain significant gaps in our knowledge.”

On the possible role of Al-Qaeda chiefs, the report says: “We still have no insight into the degree . . . of command and control of the operation.”

It also says: “How long the 7/7 attack had been planned remains unknown.” It adds: “We do not have any conclusive findings from forensic examinations of the group’s bomb-making expertise.” The report concludes that “we know little” about how suspects operated.

The disclosure will anger victims’ relatives and survivors of the July 7 attacks in which 56 people, including the four suicide bombers, died.

This weekend Rachel North, an advertising executive who was injured in the King’s Cross bomb, said: “I am disappointed that they have not come up with any real leads. Most of the survivors want to know not just what happened but why it happened. This absolutely underlines the need for a transparent, independent public inquiry.”

The Tories are also calling for an independent inquiry into what the intelligence services knew before the attacks. The leak of a JTAC report, seen by The Sunday Times, is unprecedented and some within the intelligence services are known to feel that there should be a public inquiry.

Two years ago MI5 was given an injection of cash allowing it to recruit a further 1,000 staff, on top of the 2,000 it already has. Only last month the Treasury allocated a further £125m to the fight against terrorism, most of which went, despite police complaints, to MI5. It will be spent on recruiting hundreds more intelligence officers and opening branches in eight British cities.

The MI5 report, entitled London Attacks: the Emerging Picture, was delivered in October, but sources say the situation has changed little since then. Apparent contradictions in the report reveal how the intelligence services are struggling to make progress in their inquiries. At one point it records that some “AQ (Al-Qaeda) associations” are “emerging”; but it also says “there is no evidence yet of Al-Qaeda involvement”.

Even those leads that the intelligence services have managed to uncover are hedged. The report says that certain links between terrorist groups are “plausible” and “probably the most likely scenario”; and that it “strongly suspects” one man’s visit to Pakistan was relevant to one plot.

Haroon Aswat…FBI agent threatens former USDA federal agent, now staff reporter for The New Criminologist.
Published on 25 September 2005 | Author BERRY-DEE, Christopher.

New Criminologist

Haroon Aswat – the man British Police believe was behind the London bombings – was working for MI6, it has been confirmed by leading U.S. and French intelligence asset/agents.

Now an FBI agent in Seattle – name removed for security reasons, but can be published at the drop of a hat – has demanded that former USDA federal agent, Dr Janette Parker, stop talking to the British media about how the FBI obstructed their own top terrorism investigator, John O’Neill in his enquiries.

Dr Parker, who worked alongside O’Neill, although not in an official capacity’ is fearful of her life.

“Janet is a highly-professional and honest person. She is very brave,” says Christopher Berry-Dee, publisher of TNC. “But, now the cat is out of the bag, and we have ensured that she will be protected by circulating her information to leading British newspapers and the media.”

Dr Parker writes: “The American press can be silenced but not the British press. MI-5 and MI-6 and not happy about the intelligence failure on the American side of the Atlantic, especially withholding information about Haroon Aswat’s intention for additional bombings and his fund raising in Seattle area in March 2002 (after 911).”

Haroon Aswat is the primary suspect as the mastermind of the London Bombings 7/7. The FBI can assert that Haroon was not in Seattle on March 6, 2002, but British intelligence had him under close surveillance and they know whether he was in England or not.

Dr Parker, who is supported by many other FBI agents and John Loftus (see: http://www.newcriminologist.co.uk/news.asp?id=1124824797) adds: “You can fool some of the people some of the time, all the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time.”

By trying to discredit Dr Parker, she claims:

“The effort of the FBI to hide their own internal problems has now made it impossible for me to expose the corruption and fraudulent documents at the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. There were 40 doctors involved and 8 departments. Two doctors pled guilty to Medicaid billing fraud and obstruction of justice charges. The FBI had been conducting an investigation into the medical billing fraud but did not get indictments against them.”

In verified documents, sent to TNC and the British media, Dr Parker’s explosive investigative results cover far-ranging matters, from terrorist training camps, money laundering for the extreme Islamic terror campaigns, FBI cover-ups, prostitution and brutal homicide, threats to her own welfare, physical abuse and intimidation, to include possible phone taps and email interception.

With the events, unfolding in Chicago, (see: http://www.newcriminologist.co.uk/news.asp?id=1529297048 ) even a blind man can see that the current U.S. administration is rotten thru-and-thru, and this corruption has long spread to the UK – where British citizens should be demanding of Prime Minister Blair why SIS/MI6 was using Haroon Aswat as an agent, and why, as John Loftus claims, was Aswat – who was on the British security services ‘Watch List’, allowed to leave the UK, when the British Police were desperately searching for him?

Pinning down Aswat’s movements – as all of the movements of the London Bombers – prior to the bombings is crucial, claim New Scotland Yard.

“Dr Parker’s information IS crucial,” says TNC. “Her knowledge of Special Agent John Neill’s work in counter-terrorism, could make her a very valuable asset if the Met really mean what they say.”

The 911 disaster ( of course the U.S. emergency services hotline number) could have been prevented, as could have the London Bombings.

As a deeply embedded intelligence source recently told TNC:

“Bush and Blair are just puppets. Their strings are tugged by money, corruption, ego, by the Intel services. You don’t even want to know the truth.”

In a chilling observation, our source, who has been verified as having carried out executions on behalf of H.M. Government, and MI6, and a man who has served 25-years for terrorism offenses, added:

“The Northern Ireland Bank Robbery…the Dublin Art theft…the stealing of millions of pounds of UK Government Bonds – two in the name of Mark Thatcher – has all been covered up…MI6 would order me to commit murder, then the SAS would try and shoot me because I knew too much.”

“International terrorism is VERY BIG business,” our source confirmed. “The U.S. and UK trade in terrorism like it is some kind of off-the-shelf commodity. Forget the destruction of lives to normal people, women and children. I have been there and done it all. Your Dr Parker has done the right thing. Like me she is cladding herself with insurance – like a Kevlar jacket, and I wish her all the best.”

In a strange twist, an FBI agent emailed TNC, saying: “We wish you all good luck, and I personally hope that something good comes out of all of this.”

The people of the U.S. should be very proud of Dr Parker. And those of us who are concerned about terrorism in the UK should salute her.

Scotland Yard 'Not Interested' In Talking To 7/7 Bomb Mastermind

The reason: Aswat is an MI6 asset

Aswat

30 July 2005

"Searches of mobile phone records by British anti-terrorist police and secret service agents are understood to have found that he (Aswat) made numerous phone calls to the four suicide bombers.American authorities have revealed they have been hunting the man for several years. They claim he master-minded the London horror...

"It emerged today that Aswat had made mobile telephone calls to two of the Yorkshire July 7 suicide bombers and had possibly visited Dewsbury in the days before the bombings. Dewsbury was the home town of Mohammed Sidique Khan, one of the suicide bombers...

"Two years ago it was suspected Aswat had been killed in Afghanistan when his British passport was found on the body of a Taliban soldier.

"Aswat's phone number is thought to have been found on Khan's mobile phone."

http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=13913208

On 8 August 2005, Haroon Rashid Aswat, 30, who was deported from Zambia and arrested by British police under a US warrant, appeared in a courtroom at Belmarsh prison in southeast London.

According to several newspaper reports, Aswat spoke by telephone with some of the four July 7 attackers, who triggered bombs on three Underground trains and a London bus, killing 52 commuters and themselves.

But Scotland Yard police headquarters said on 7 August that detectives were not interested in speaking to Aswat about the London attacks.

No one has been charged in the July 7 attacks.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22989-1726513,00.html

Mr Aswat's family has raised concerns that if he is deported he will be sent to Guantanamo Bay, the detention camp in Cuba, without trial.

Al-Qaeda No 2 warning for London

Oh me oh my I'm so bored of this bullshit!! How many more times is the stunt going to work??

Something blows up, no evidence it was Al Q, few days later some bearded raghead dude releases a video claiming responsibility.

Firstly let me ask you a question. Do you remember some years ago a video was released claiming to be evidence of an alien autopsy? did you believe it? no, me neither. But the point is it LOOKED reasonably real, the body of the supposed alien LOOKED real, the autopsy and the set LOOKED pretty real, but it WAS A HOAX.

And remember when Bin Laden was kind enough to release a video right before the 2004 presidental elections? who do you think ultimately benefited from that??

How many tines I have read that Zawahri is either dead, captured, or mortally wounded? Amazing the way Allah heals and protects the blessed isn't it?

Here are some examples:-

al-Zawahri Reported Held in Pakistan; Pakistan Denies Report

Pakistan says it has cornered al-Zawahri

'High-Value Target' Surrounded in Pakistan

Bin Laden's Aide Killed, Another Wounded as Al-Qaeda Under Attack

Don't believe the bullshit!!! Zawahri is either a western intelligence asset, dead, or this video is simply a fake, concoted and released to stop the stampede of London Bomber skeptics, the EXACT same pattern of disinformation was undertaken after 911 when Fatty Bin Laden also released a video claiming responsibility....Only problem was it wasn't Bin Laden, which was obvious when you compared image captures of the 'Fatty' Bin Laden against stock footage. His forehead, nose, beard and body weight all somehow managed to completely change themselves( and then back again in future video releases)....Like I say, Allah is truly amazing, the things he can do!

Phil,

From the BBC website

Al-Qaeda No 2 warning for London

Zawahri has previously warned the US of interfering in the Middle East
Osama Bin Laden's lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri has warned London will face more attacks because of Tony Blair's foreign policy decisions.
His comments were made in a videotape which was broadcast on Arab satellite channel al-Jazeera.

The al-Qaeda deputy said: "Blair has brought to you destruction in central London, and he will bring more of that, God willing."

Mr Blair has denied his policies caused the 7 July bombs, which killed 56.

Police are still investigating the bombings on Tube trains at Aldgate, Russell Square and Edgware Road, as well as a bus in Tavistock Square, and are also holding 15 people over the failed 21 July attacks.

There is a massive police presence on London's streets, with 6,000 officers watching for a repeat of the attacks two and four weeks ago.

Al-Zawahri last appeared in a video in June, saying Muslims should not rely on peaceful protests but should also use violence. He also appeared in a video in February.

(Or maybe this is him!!!!)

The Egyptian-born mastermind is thought to be Bin Laden's deputy and to have been hiding in the rugged border areas of either Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Bombing Mastermind Aswat Works for MI-6

Bombing Mastermind Aswat Works for MI-6
Monday August 01st 2005, 11:44 pm

(Edited by Phil Howe- go to original article here for active links)

As Fox News tells it, at the very moment the British police were supposedly looking high and low for Dewsbury resident Haroon Rashid Aswat, pegged as the London bombing “mastermind,” MI-6 was quietly stowing him away for safe keeping. In fact, they were protecting him as an asset, although we should not expect Fox News to admit this “embarrassing” fact “The Times said Aswat was believed to have had a ten-year association with militant groups, and met Osama bin Laden at [a CIA-ISI built] al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan,” Breaking News reported almost two weeks ago. “The newspaper said it had obtained FBI documents indicating he was sent to America in 1999 where he had firearms and poison training.”

According to MI-5 counter-intelligence whistleblower David Shayler, “MI-6 is in bed with al Qaeda,” which of course makes perfect sense since al-Qaeda is a masterfully engineered intelligence contrivance (a fake terrorist front organization created through a collaboration between the CIA, ISI, and MI-6) designed to discredit Islam, sow violence and chaos, and bury any possibility of pan-Arab nationalism—or, as the Grand Chessboard master Zbigniew Brzezinski writes, “to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.”

In 2002, “Tony Blair … ordered a D-Notice [an institutionalized method of censorship, short for short for Defense Notices] on British media reporting government officials signing court gag orders. This regards the case of former MI5 officer David Shayler, who has evidence to prove MI6 gave £100,000 to bin Laden and Al-Qaeda,” Paul Joseph Watson noted, citing an article published in the Guardian. Another famous Londonistan radical, Abu Qatada (accused of being a key al-Qaeda member) was sheltered in a safe house in northern England by MI-6, the BBC reported in 2002. And then there is the story of British intelligence forking out large sums of money to “an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice,” the London Observer reported in November, 2002.

In the non-Bushzarro world, Britain would be placed on the State Department’s list of nations supporting international terrorism (and attacked like Iraq was, although Iraq did not shelter terrorists). For instance, Britain provided “exceptional leave” to the Saudi expatriate Mohammed al-Massari, the head of the London-based Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights, after he declared as “intellectually justified” the attack on a U.S. military barracks in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 American soldiers. Gamaa al-Islamiya (Islamic Group), the terrorist organization responsible for killing 62 tourists in Luxor, Egypt, was provided political asylum in Britain and numerous efforts by the Egyptian government to have members extradited were denied. The Algerian Armed Islamic Group, responsible for the assassination of Algerian President Mohamed Boudiaf on June 29, 1992, has its international headquarters in London. In addition, various other groups—including the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Hamas, the Kurdish Workers Party, al-Jihad, and others—operate out of the United Kingdom unmolested.

For Fox News, the presence of Haroon Rashid Aswat and radical clerics in Britain is nothing short of “appeasement,” when in fact it is part and parcel of a deliberate policy to undermine Islamic countries and discredit Arab nationalism, a long-standing effort to keep the “Mideast pot boiling,” as Joseph Brewda characterizes British intelligence-terrorist operations. “There is every reason to believe,” writes Webster Griffin Tarpley, “that London is one of the main recruiting grounds for patsies, dupes, fanatics, double agents, and other roustabouts of the terrorist scene” (9/11: Synthetic Terror, p. 156).

“British intelligence nurtures and cultivates—as it learned to do during its official colonial days and as it did with stunning success in southern Sudan for instance—an identity based on rigid ethnic or religious lines that fixates on the alleged difference between the victim population and perceived ‘enemy’ populations,” writes Linda de Hoyos. “In Africa, British intelligence focuses on stirring up tribal conflicts. In the Indian subcontinent, it focuses on religious or caste or ethnic differences. In the Caucasus and Balkans, religious and ethnic differences are played upon. In the global strategic arena, the British field such concepts as ‘clash of civilizations’”…. Naturally, British intelligence or its subcontractors will tend to back all sides in a conflict—since the conflict, NOT the victory of any one side—is the goal.”

In short, British state-sponsored terrorism is a perfect example of the Hegelian dialect in action. “The Hegelian dialectic has never failed because to understand it requires the total breakdown and reconstruction of everything you’ve ever known,” explains Paul Joseph Watson. “Upon the conclusion of the war on terrorism, the counterfeit foe awaits.”

Fox plays a crucial role—although the obvious role of Britain (working in tandem with intelligence operations out of Rumsfeld’s Pentagon) has posed a conundrum for the preeminent Bush Ministry of Disinformation and Lies, enshrined in its “fair and balanced” mythos. Instead of facing up to the reality behind the current situation in London, Fox’s talking heads and propaganda meisters spin a transparent web of deceit and fanciful alternate realities (as the dicta of Bushzarro world demands), all of it suffering miserably (and ludicrously) under the hard glare of truth.

Calls for Leading Muslim Cleric to resign and be prosecuted for saying "Al Qaeda does not exist

Comment: Mohammad Naseem today also appeared on BBC radio and asserted that there is no evidence Al Qaeda exists, no evidence it carried out the London Bombings and that it is a construction of Intelligence agencies falling in line with the CIA. These are all provable facts as we regularly point out on this website by refering to official sources. Are we to be prosecuted as well? The MAJORITY of the callers on the show also rightly pointed out that Bin Laden was a CIA asset and Al Qaeda, if it exists at all is a loose knit group of Mujahideen trained and funded by the CIA to do battle with Russian forces in Afghanistan in the late 70s and 1980s.

The most senior Islamic cleric in Birmingham claimed yesterday that Muslims were being unjustly blamed in the war on terrorism and that the eight suspects in the two bombing attacks on London "could have been innocent passengers".

Mohammad Naseem, the chairman of the city's central mosque, called Tony Blair a "liar" and "unreliable witness" and questioned whether CCTV footage issued of the suspected bombers was of the perpetrators.

He said that Muslims "all over the world have never heard of an organisation called al-Qa'eda".

Mr Naseem, who was speaking after police seized Yasin Hassan Omar in Birmingham, delivered his unprompted outburst when he was invited to a press conference with West Midlands police and Birmingham city council to help calm fears of racial or religious tension after the arrest.

It was held near the police cordon in Heybarnes Road, where Omar was arrested.

His comments shocked senior police officers.

Sources said that attempts to encourage Muslims to pass them information on the bombers' activities would be hindered. One said: "We are trying to gain the trust of the Muslim community and these kinds of comments have the opposite effect. All they do is encourage communities to close ranks against us."

To the obvious embarrassment of council officials and police standing next to him, Mr Naseem said the Government and security services "were not to be relied upon".

He said: "Tony Blair has told lies on going to Iraq and in a court of law if a witness has proved to be a liar he ceases to be a reliable witness. So we cannot give our blind trust to the Government.

"To have that trust it is important that the process of law should be independent, open and transparent. I am also sad that unfortunately the impression has been given that Muslims are to be targeted in this war against terror. There seems to be a directive to target Muslims. Why do we not have an open mind about this?

"Muslim bashing seems to be more earnest than the need for national unity and harmony. Terrorists can be anybody - we will have to see [whether the bombers are Muslims]. The process is not open; the process is not transparent; the process is not independent. I do not have faith in the system as it stands."

Mr Naseem is one of the most respected Muslims in the city and is considered a moderate. He has regular meetings with the chief constable to discuss religious harmony.

Mr Naseem said that while it was vital that terrorism was stamped out and that there was never any justification for it, the Government had not helped by going to war in Iraq.

Dismissing the Prime Minister's insistence that the war had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks, he said: "Tony Blair … is not going to be perceived as a reliable witness. His comments could motivate someone to take the law into his own hands.

"Some people have been caught but I have not seen any evidence. The process of law is not open."

Asked about the suspects' DNA being found at the scene of the first attacks, he said: "DNA can match you, but that does not mean you are going to commit a crime. Thousands of youths are passing by and caught on CCTV, so how do you know it is them?"

He added: "We must rely upon trust that we have between communities.

"We must remain united in the fight against terrorism but the process should be independent and open, not like the Hutton inquiry, not like the Lord Butler inquiry." And, in an editorial in The Dawn, the central mosque's newsletter, Mr Naseem writes: "Where is the evidence that four youths whose pictures were caught on CCTV cameras…were the perpetrators? How did we reject the possibility they were just innocent victims of this terrible happening? They had bought return train tickets."

Brazilian's family claim police altered their story

My goodness?! the police completely lying?! unheard of, what rubbish!! why would the police and the authorities ever conspire to completely deceive the general public?!

The mind boggles .....

Phil

From the London Times, article found here

THE family of the Brazilian man shot dead by marksmen who mistook him for a suicide bomber revealed last night how police have changed their account of the incident.
As the body of Jean Charles de Menezes was flown home to Brazil for his funeral later today, his cousin said that senior officers at Scotland Yard have retracted claims that the 27-year-old electrician was acting suspiciously, so officers had no option but to open fire.

Vivien Figueiredo, 22, said police told her that he was wearing a lightweight denim jacket and not some bulky coat that could have hidden an explosive belt underneath. Detectives also claimed immediately after the shooting that Mr Menezes had refused to heed shouted warnings by armed police and vaulted the ticket barriers at Stockwell Tube station.

Now police say that he used his travelcard to gain access to the station. Ms Figueiredo said: “They are saying he did absolutely nothing wrong when he was killed, so why don’t they say all this publicly.”

Police shot the electrician seven times in the head and once in the shoulder at point-blank range.

The family claim that Mr Menezes’s death forced Scotland Yard to change its shoot-to-kill orders. In yesterday’s arrest in Birmingham, the family point out that police used a Taser stun gun. They want to know why a similar weapon was not used last Friday.

Ms Figueiredo also expressed anger at reports that one of the officers involved in the fatal shooting had gone on holiday with his family, paid for by the Metropolitan Police.

She said: “It is not right that this person should now be enjoying his holiday when we are suffering.”

Alex Pereira, 27, another cousin accompanying the coffin on the flight home, said: “The officer must be brought back and show the world he did something wrong”. Senior officers emphasised that the independent investigation into the incident was continuing.

A vigil marking one week since Mr Menezes’s death will take place at 5.30pm on Friday in Parliament Square. A service will be held at Westminster Cathedral at the same time as his funeral in Brazil

Another Phony Al-Qaeda Group Claims Responsibility For Latest London Bombings

Isn't life great! You can do anything you like, blow people up, kill, rape, torture whatever and just blame it on Al Q and the evil raghead minions! woohoo!

By these standards surely that means the next time i steal a sony surround sound system, don't pay my bills on time, or I push an elderly lady down 14 flights of stairs for fun I can just tell the authorities...

' No officer it wasn't me, look i'm white and I eat McDonalds, tut! silly officer! obviously it was Al Qaeda!?'

Then the kindly police officer will call for the gunsquad and simply shoot down any dark coloured skin dude who just might be happening to run for a bus or wearing a puffy jacket within a 20 mile radius!

Cool!!!!! Isn't life great when we follow the example of our leaders and our secret agencies/societies?

Skynews reports:-

from prisonplanet

A group linked to al Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the latest London bombings, as forensic teams examine the rucksack bombs found on a bus and in Tube trains.

The group, Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade, also claimed responsibility for the explosions on July 7.

The statement's authenticity could not be immediately verified and some doubt has been cast on the group's previous claims.

Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade was described by the Boston Globe as a "phantom organization." The same group claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombing.

There is no evidence that the group even exists. They have claimed responsibility for everything from the 2003 blackout to car bombings in Iraq, yet in no case is there any proof of their involvement.

Ben Venzke, CEO of IntelCenter, a private company that specializes in analyzing terrorist messages for government agencies, said: "They started claiming responsibility for just about everything in the world. We've never been able to determine if it is just one person sitting at a computer having fun or if it really is a group."

Even Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair admitted last week, "Al Qaeda is not an organization. Al Qaeda is a way of working."

So how can Sky News use the headline 'Group Claims Bombings' when the group doesn't exist or is just one person sitting at a computer? If I went on a random internet forum and claimed to take responsibility for the bombings on behalf of the Intergalactic Imperial Reptoids, would that claim have any less credibility than the Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade claim? No it wouldn't, and yet it would never make it into the news.

This kind of reporting is an example of crass manipulation and appeals to the lowest common denominator. The average person will read the headline and go away with the forever entranched explanation that this bombing was the work of Al-Qaeda. No questions asked, end of story.

Police Get Coy About London Bomb Explosives

Article here

British police seem to be experiencing a very unusual -and hard to fathom- delay in identifying the type of explosive used in the London bombs.

"Forensic experts are scrutinising the four blast sites to determine the exact make-up of the substance... Early reports suggested the bombers had used a military plastic explosive during the attacks on the capital's transport network.

"It was later claimed that police had found acetone peroxide - or TATP - in a bath during a raid on a property in Leeds.... However, the source said police were still carrying out tests to establish its exact make-up." [Source]
Perhaps the coyness is because the truth would poke a hole in the official line about homemade bombs. A line at variance with early accounts by some media sources.

So how hard is this identification process? Not very.

Within hours of the blasts, early examination of the scene by explosives experts would have already narrowed down type of explosive used. The blast velocity is the clearest indicator.

This can be determined from visual inspection of damage to metal panels and gross structures; also from close examination of the penetration power of explosive metal fragments. An experienced eye could quickly make an educated guess.

Simple chemical tests would narrrow the options still further. And mass spectrographic analysis could not only identify the explosive, but can even potentially tell how it was manufactured -by identifying contaminants in the explosives.

It is hard to imagine how it would take more than 24hrs. to be pretty certain, maybe 48hrs. to be definitive.

It's been just two weeks.

London Stagecoach Employee Says Bus Bombing Suspicious

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet | July 15 2005

We received an e mail from an employee of Stagecoach, the company responsible for the majority of London buses.

Our contact works a route roughly one mile from the site of the bus bombing last Thursday.

The bus driver pointed out that the number 30 bus was the only one to be re-routed after the initial bombs went off in the London Underground, every other bus carried on its normal journey, but for some reason this bus was diverted.

The driver notes the following about CCTV maintainence.

"CCTV gets maintained at least 2 or 3 times a week and can digitally store upto 2 whole weeks worth of footage. this is done by a private contractor....So when I heard that the CCTV wasn't working on a vehicle that's no more than 2 years old since last June.....I'm sorry that's rubbish, I work for the company I know different."

Also a point of interest....last saturday a contractor came to inspect the CCTV on the buses at the depot, According to my supervisor the person spent more than 20 hours over that weekend, 20 hours to see if the CCTV is working? Also that person who came was not a regular contractor, for security reasons the same few people always come to the depot to carry out work, this time it was different.

Drivers in the depot already think the so called bombers had inside help because it was to organised. Some even think it had help from the company."

I have received other information suggesting that the CCTV is regularly maintained and checked. The police pay the bus company to check it, and the bus company makes a substantial profit out of this, so all parties benefit from keeping the CCTV systems working.

This information makes it all the more suspicious that the bus cameras were not working.

Was the mammoth 20 hour inspection session of the CCTV a means of disabling the CCTV, or something even darker? Were the contractors, who were not familiar to the bus company employees, actually placing the bomb?

But don't worry, the media are drooling over this picture of supposed suicide bomber Hasib Hussain, who we are told detonated the bus bomb.

Well, it's a grainy picture of a Muslim guy with a rucksack, case closed! That's good enough evidence for me, I'm going back to sleep.

It's beyond doubt that these four Muslims were framed. They were most likely hired as MI6 spies, sent to Pakistan and then brought back and told they were to take part in an important exercise to test national security. Give them the rucksacks, get them on the trains and then detonate the bombs remotely.

Do you really believe for a second that guys with 8 month babies and guys who taught diasbled schoolchildren would want to blow themselves up and kill other innocent people?
