How did the Australian Police come into this one! :? I thought Mr Love was talking about a friend in LONDON. There is no mention that the police were Australian. I am assuming that it is the British Police that have been to see his friend! :?danyet wrote: I do not think that anyone needs to fear the Australian Police, if they are innocent.

I have watched a little bit of the World News today and they are saying that no one was injured in these last attacks. That there were four small explosions. Three on trains and one on a double decker bus.
It seems almost exactly the same as the attacks two weeks ago. So authorities are starting to wonder if these are copy-cats. Why don't they get a life.....~~~
From interviews they have conducted on the streets of London most people are very calm and mostly angry at the offenders. They have said that the London people are very resilient and will not let this sort of thing change their day to day lives.
It must be so frustrating for them having to deal with these sorts of things though; imagine trying to get to work and then back home again with all this going on.
It is a big enough drag trying to get to work during peak hour without all these delays.......

MORE BAD NEWS IN LONDON.
This morning I awoke to the news that a man was shot dead by police on a train in London's subway system. Onlookers say that he was shot 5 times. Reports are saying that under-cover police shot the man who they believed was about to detonate an explosive on the train.
This is madness!!! What is going on?

Yes I know these sorts of terrorist acts have been going on for decades. Obviously the media coverage is more intense now so we are totally inundated with tragic images (plus it's pretty much instant). When I was a child sometimes you waited days for news events to make it to the television; actually the radio was the best source for current news.danyet wrote:Yes and Muslim extremists were killing and terrorizing innocent bystanders all over the world before 9/11, too.
I'm just watching the news and there has been more bombings in Eygpt. It seems to be happening more often now than it did decades ago. It is pretty much a daily event somewhere in the World.
It is so sad so many innocent people are affected by terrorist actions! Families that lose love ones for no reason. They are just going about their daily routine.

There is alot of news coverage here about the explosions in Egypt tonight so i'm going to watch the news. It is so horrible! We are all so sick and tired of this sort of slaughter!! There has to be another way for these people to get their messages across.....None of this makes sense they aren't achieving anything. All they are doing is making people angrier. What are they trying to accomplish from this sort of stupidity? I'm at a total lose!chemist wrote:I heard that news about Eygpt this morning too.
I don't know what to say,I'm really sad and mad and I'm just wondering why those people are doing this.it's really unfair to kill innocent people like that.

You are probably right that you don't get the truth from mainstream media but I doubt that will get truth from the site you linked to either.Lucia wrote:You can not get the true if you watch normal tv.

The police made a mistake?????????????????????????
OK first of all, I don't think it's the police who should have taken the decision to kill that person. Why couldn't just get him and put him in prison??
And second, if the police shot an innocent man, they should be punished as well. Ask that man's families! What do they think it's best?
Geez.

This is a tradgedy of course. English police do not usually carry guns. Police are allowed to shoot if they believe that lives are at risk. Usually they would have tackeled the man but they thought that this man had a detonation device and could set off his bomb at an instant. I believe the man was shot in the head in order to shut down the nervous system.Dixie wrote:The police made a mistake?????????????????????????

It is absolutely shocking! There is a very little information here at the moment to determine why this happened! I suppose they are still investigating it. DANYET's comments are correct though "normally they don't carry guns". They usually only have batons. I don't know why the police thought this man was a risk/ or had a bomb!Dixie wrote:The police made a mistake?????????????????????????

Very true I know that the normal "Bobbies" don't. I'm not sure about under-cover detectives though. Apparently Detectives were involved in this case and carried out the act. It will be very interesting to see what comes out of this. What sort of intelligence / or lack of it, created this situation.danyet wrote:This is a tradgedy of course.

It appears from reports we are receiving here that the British police and security agents are making incredible inroads into capturing those involved in the recent terrorist attacks in London. My latest report was that they have arrested four suspects and are trying to arrange for the extradition of one suspect from Italy.
It is encouraging, as it sends a message to those who wish to take this sort of action that they are unable to hide.
:D :D

I know this is horrible and the fact that the man wasn't a bomber has now come to light which makes the whole thing worse. I think at the time the police believed that he was carrying a bomb and was going to detonate it. That is why they shot him as capture was classified as too risky to the public (as suicide bombers generally will detonate the bomb, before capture). The whole thing is terrible! The police will have to be very careful not to over-react and the intelligence has to be spot on.Dixie wrote:The police made a mistake?????????????????????????

Geez.
Imagine how the police involved feel too; knowing now that the man wasn't a bomber! They are following instructions in connection with national security! They are doing their jobs so to speak...
These are the sorts of tragedies that come about after terrorist attacks as countries are trying to protect the public...

I have an update!mr_Love wrote:i dint heared about it yet!!!!!1
British police charged two more prime suspects on Sunday in connection with failed attempts to bomb Londons transport system on July 21. Ibrakim Mukter Said, 27 and Ramzi Mohammed, 23.
On Saturday Yassin Hassan Omar, 24 and Manpo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, were charged with attempted murder (plus other charges).
I think the charges on Yassin and Manpo were from the first London bombings. The attack that derailed the London underground.

Al Jazeera television has reportedly received a video tape in which al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the London bombings. The video tape also contains the Will of one of the suicide bombers (Mohammad Sidique Khan) in which he blames the recent attacks on Britian's support of the war in Iraq.
Al Jazeera said the tape also included comments from Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahri to the affect that there will be more destruction.

The most profound development is the sudden need of the British and others to assert what it means to be British, Australian, or some other nationality. In the face of the Islamist challenge, historic identities taken for granted must now be explained and codified.
This can be seen on a diurnal level, where Islamist assertion has provoked a new European willingness in recent months to stand up for historic customs — as seen by the banning of burqas in Italy, requiring a German school boy to attend co-ed swimming classes, and making male applicants for Irish citizenship renounce polygamy. When a ranking Belgian politician cancelled lunch with an Iranian group after it demanded that alcohol not be present, his spokesman helpfully explained that "You can't force the authorities of Belgium to drink water."

that is like asking the british to take a shower, or an Australian to stop drinking beer isn't it.

Tonight I realised whilst reviewing some posts that the reason the English Government handled the recent terrorist acts with such efficiency is because they have been dealing with terrorist acts for decades. People seem to forget about the IRA (Irish Republican Army).
This week in Ireland the streets of Belfast have looked like a battlefield. Just when the people of the British Isles thought that the terror was over with once and for all (with the recent ceasefire by the IRA). However it would appear that the prodistans (Church of England) has risen again. There were petrol bombs etc.
I can't confirm for sure that this is the group (as no one has taken responsibility) but these are the reports that are reaching our shores.
