Barbarians at the (boarding) gates
Sky News' Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said those arrested were mainly young, British-born Asian men. Spot the missing word?
Recently added to the Rainy Day blogroll is the Counterterrorism Blog and there Dr Walid Phares, author of forthcoming Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against the West, asks a number of stimulating questions. Two favourites:
2) Did the Jihadi-Terrorists study the possibilities of hand bags use and analyze the current state of security of the flights between the UK and the US? Have they been taking these flights back and forth and thus determine that it is feasible? So are there Terrorists flying with us and exploring the holes in the system?4) Why the insistence on striking a London US bound plane? What are the Jihadists trying to score on these air corridors? Why not London Pakistan and Venezuela lines?
The barbarians are at the (boarding) gates.
