Car bombs yesterday- and an attack on Glasgow airport today as a jeep was driven in through the doors.
Seems like it was definately a terrorist operation, albeit a botched one. There was a gas cylinder in the car and it was on fire before it crashed.
No major explosion, but the two occupants are badly burnt. Assuming this is terrorism- Good enough for the f**kers.
4 Asian men arrested according to Sky News. They were in the jeep at the time.
The organisation seems poor. Does that represent good work done on destroying networks? Elimination of key personnel? Or just luck that nothing worse happened?
The cynic in me would be inclined to rule out Al-Queda or any massive organised threat
I mean have they actually gone from crashing plains into Skyscrapers to being unable to crash jeeps into terminals??
.....and missing out on the 40 virgins. :rolleyes:Bet they feel sick in more ways than one now.Quote:

It's no laughing matter. 9/11 only cost $400k dollars. The London bombings a couple of years back only cost £1k. You can cause a suprising amount of damage for little money. Even $400k is small fish compared to the amount of money raised through criminal activity.Quote:

It's probably some disaffected British foreign nationals.
Had to laugh when I saw the 'suicide bomber' being hosed down.
He must have been looking all around him for a roof to jump off.
I have not seen or read much on the Glasgow attacks but seems very similar to 7/7. Seems some second generation asians have a glorified vision of their home land. Sad that they think their lives would somehow be so much better in Pakistan or wherever :rolleyes:Quote:

I mean, really, if you're going to do this type of thing there's no point going about it half-assed.
as my sig says :
Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after you :D
i guess nobody will be questioning britain's ever increasingly big-brother style surveillance for a while, at least not at the start of a new premier-ship while the new guy is vulnerable.
handy that.
Conspiracy Theories are for kids & people with too much time on their hands.
:rolleyes:
Do you think that fact that the Uk are involved in two wars at present might have a been a reason, or am i just totally wrong!
By the way...............did anyone notice that the Americans killed 80 civilians in Afghanistan yesterday?
Its a strange world we live in"!
Thats exactly what happened last year with the "liquid bombs " in airports scare....cheers for the exampleQuote:

Surely a comment from a kid himself.Tut tut you still sitting at the back of the class refusing to look at the blackboard??!?! :rolleyes:Quote:

The M15 have been involved in almost every IRA bombing since the 1980s FACT......and those orders came straight from the top.....
Here read it fromt he horses mouth
Sunday Herald: Neil Mackay
Original Link: http://www.sundayherald.com/25646
Exclusive: confessions of a secret agent turned terrorist
KEVIN Fulton is very clear about where the orders were coming from. 'I was told that this was sanctioned right at the top,' he says, sipping a Pepsi in the bar of a Glasgow hotel. 'I was told 'there'll be no medals for this, and no recognition, but this goes the whole way to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knows what you are doing.'
This was 1980, and if Margaret Thatcher knew about the activities of military intelligence agents such as Fulton, then she was also aware her own military officers were planning to infiltrate British soldiers as 'moles' into the IRA. These moles were ordered by their handlers to carry out terrorist crimes in order to keep their cover within the Provos so they could feed information on other leading republicans back to security forces.
For almost two years the Sunday Herald has been investigating the activities of the FRU -- the Force Research Unit, an ultra-secret wing of British military intelligence. Fulton worked for the FRU for much of his career as an IRA mole. This unit, which has been under investigation by Scotland Yard commissioner Sir John Stevens for more than a decade, was involved in the murder of civilians in Northern Ireland.
So who was the overall controller of the FRU with its 'licence to kill' republicans? Until now it seemed that responsibility for the activities of the FRU rested on the shoulders of one man -- Brigadier Gordon Kerr, the Scottish officer who led the unit and is now the British military attach? to Beijing. A two-part BBC Panorama programme, concluding tonight, much of it based on the Sunday Herald's previous investigations, puts Kerr squarely in the frame.
But if Fulton's claims are correct, then Kerr, soon to be questioned by the Stevens team, was just one link in a chain of command which went all the way to the cabinet and the Prime Minister. As Fulton says: 'Kerr was just following orders. Soldiers don't make up the rules, they just do as they're told.'
the article goes on.....
The claim that the cabinet and Thatcher knew of these types of operations is startling. Thatcher's office has refused to comment on Fulton's claims. It is known, though, that intelligence supplied by other British army moles inside the republican movement was being read at cabinet level. One such mole, Willie Carlin, was flown out of Northern Ireland in Thatcher's Prime Ministerial jet in 1985 after his cover was blown. As chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, which met weekly at Number 10, Thatcher was kept informed of FRU activities. Whether this ran to the day-to-day details of agent-handling is not known. Thatcher did grant the FRU extra funding to recruit agents in the wake of the IRA's Remembrance Day bombing in Enniskillen.
Now you tell me that is NOT a conspiracy. Did you see "Dozens " of whistle blowers!?!?!:rolleyes: Well this guy actually did blow the whistle but sure who listens to it anyway??
Google operation gladio, gulf of tonkien or the hilarious liquid bombs of last summer for more example of governments supporting terrorism for their own benefit....or.......Head back in the sand......
They were moles! If you dont understand the concept of a mole ...........Quote:
