Four held under Terror Laws Four held under terror laws LONDON (Reuters) - Police say they have arrested four men under anti-terrorism legislation after a tip-off from a newspaper which said the suspects tried to buy explosives for a dirty bomb. Three of the men were arrested in a raid on a hotel in Brent Cross, north London, on Friday and the fourth was seized later the same day at his home, also in north London. "All four were arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act, on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement on Sunday. They said they had been acting on information provided by the News of the World, which said one of its reporters had infiltrated a gang trying to buy radioactive material for a Saudi Arabian who it said might be linked to Al Qaeda. The tabloid newspaper said the Saudi was prepared to pay 300,000 pounds for a kilogram of "red mercury", a mysterious radioactive substance which is rumoured to have been developed by Russian scientists during the Cold War. The paper said one of its reporters made contact with an Indian-born banker and a Somali -- the head of the gang -- who wanted to buy bomb-making material for a client in the Middle East who they said supported "the Muslim cause". As the staunchest ally of the United States in its war on terror, Britain has long seen itself as a potential target of an attack like the ones on New York, Washington, Bali and Madrid. Hundreds of suspects have been arrested under the country's far-reaching anti-terrorist legislation, passed in 2000, but only a handful have been convicted. So what do you think of this? Personally i think they are actually getting closer to actually achieving a Terror Attack. They are constantly trying or "are the goverment hatching these plots and stopping them to look like they have actually got control of the security in the U.K , i mean look at all the security breaches .. this could be a tactic to make us believe were safe ... but tell me this (how can you be safe from someone who is willing to kill themselves to kill you?) ... Just thought id post a few ideas ... and see what you think of them ..... let it begin!
its ridiculously easy to make a bomb capable of taking out a large building, im sure the Oklahoma bomb was made out of fertiliser et al. Even a mud hut educated assylum seeker could build one. UH OH!!!!!!!
