State Media Funding Jihadi's

Failed London car bombs, which were planned to be using "Propane & Petrol" as Explosive with a deadly cocktail of nails to rapture and tear nearby peoples, is well known by now. Police estimated that if the bomb found near tiger-tiger (not the second one) might have exploded, then injured/death toll might be up to 1600. yet something is gone unheard. This post is dedicated to the unheard corner of the news... CBS news has something special in its article, it adds

Hours before London explosives technicians dismantled a large car bomb in the heart of the British capital's tourist-rich theatre district, a message appeared on one of the most widely used jihadist Internet forums, saying: "Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah, London shall be bombed."

CBS News found the posting, which went on for nearly 300 words, on the "al Hesbah" chat room. It was left by a person who goes by the name abu Osama al-Hazeen, who appears regularly on the forum. The comment was posted on the forum, according to time stamp, at 08:09 a.m. British time on June 28 -- about 17 hours before the bomb was found early on June 29.

Al Hesbah is frequently used by international Sunni militant groups, including al Qaeda and the Taliban, to post propaganda videos and messages in their fight against the West.

I tried to look at this Al-Hesbah website, which is sponsor by State funded Channels, like Al-Reuters, CNN, ABC, AFP, AP, Swiss Info, ZDF, MSNBC and so on...

My Surprise was, that Hamas propaganda channel in West was missing from list, Perhaps because Hamas is more Shia/Iran based, instead of Chatting in Sunni insurgents Chat rooms...

thus You will miss this Channel in above list.

One more question struck to my mind was, for whom are our media really working. Propaganda videos and messages are posted on such sites, funded out by our Tax money, and later used against us. Is our media really capable to work on its own, or are they just broadcasting the same propaganda videos over the news network, which is believed to be to inform the nationals, and to protect them from any coming disaster.

CBS news further added

Al-Hazeen's message begins: "In the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Is Britain Longing for al Qaeda's bombings?"

Al-Hazeen decries the recent knighthood of controversial author Salman Rushdie as a blow felt by all British Muslims. "This 'honouring' came at a crucial time, a time when the whole nation is reeling from the crusaders attacks on all Muslim lands," he said, in an apparent reference to the British role in Iraq.

"We say to Britain: The Emir of al Qaeda, Sheikh Osama, has once threatened you, and he carried out his threats. Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah, London shall be bombed," the message reads.

Speaking at a news conference Friday after the bomb scare in central London, the Metropolitan Police force's Counter-Terrorism Commander Peter Clarke said that officials had "no indication that we were going to be attacked this way".

Prior to the Thursday night posting by al-Hazeen, there had been no specific allusions to threats against London or Britain seen on al Hesbah, or any other major jihadist forums in recent weeks.

Several responses to the posting by other forum members expressed hope that an attack against London would be realized in the near future.

In response, al-Hazeen urges patience, saying, "Victory is very close, but you are just rushing it."

Shock For intelligence agencies,

Intelligence sources who spoke to CBS News Friday morning seemed to express surprise at the discovery of the device, suggesting there had been "no warning, no intel, no smell" as a prelude to the plot — a vacuum of information which reportedly had Britain's domestic intelligence agency "very, very worried".

Yet if intelligence agencies can't recognize the real enemy inside democracies, the corrupted media groups, then what we can do. For sure, Media agencies are far more concentrated in collecting information about the movements of our troops, even by providing and sponsoring chat channels to Mujahadeen, then what you can suppose to happen?

BBC Hindi was running a Headlines for more then 12 hours, "London Police diffused 'Suspected' Bomb.", My Question of BBC is, I read from years about "Suspected Militants", but don't you think 'Suspected' Bomb is a bit more to digest.

Media disservice continues...

Media agencies had gone on one more level low, and they decided this time to undermine the threat the Car Bomb might have caused. MSNBC, a channel supporting Sunni insurgent chat room in above list, has a special coverage to undermine the effect, which can be located on hotair.

Please note, MSNBC even had decresed the Quantity of Petrol used. MSNBC says, it was 50 gallons. CNN told us, its was 60 Gallons.

Yet the deadliness of 25 litres of kerosene can be realized by recent samjhauta express blast in India. one can easily Imagine how deadly a "far more explosive" Petrol can be, especially when packed with Nails as projectiles with Propane.

The most strange part of the whole situation is synchronized Propaganda shift. Suddenly Muslim world had shifted its attention from largest Satan of the world, towards the Western Presence in Iraq. Whole global Media agencies have also shifted from "Salaman Rashdie" row to "War in Iraq" to justify the action.

Death to Terrorist On the eve of Failed Car Bomb, MPACUK (terrorist organization supporting Jihad in Kashmir and Israel) had received a death threat Note. MPACUK spoke person seems to be worried about the death threat, but had not contacted or complained the Police regarding Death threat.

The contents of Death Threat are not made public, I wonder what was inside the Death threat note?

Death to Terrorist...

Under such conditions, i will rather say... it was a stunt from MPACUK to minimize the pressure, what might have occurred if they succeed in the bombing. what ever, if someone come across the some post in Media referring "UK Muslims feels the heat", then please forward it to this blog.......

**UPDATE:

  1. Terror Plot Foiled: MSNBC Ignores It
  2. Confused Jihadi need Guidance, Is the UK classified as "Darul-Harb"?

Terrorist car bomb attack thwarted in London

Apparently a car was seen driving erratically in the haymarket area of London last night. The driver jumped out of the car and ran off. Bouncers from a local bar/club saw that there was something wrong with the car and then alerted the police. The security services have defused the device (which seems to consist of propane gas cylinders and other items covered by a blanket), and no one has been harmed. There is no Irish connection, so it's looking like this might be an Islamist based terror attack (though as always it's best to wait and see what the security services have to say). By the sounds of what the rolling news channels were saying this was a thwarted car bomb attack which would have resulted in massive loss of life. This could be the start of a campaign, but again that is speculation rather than anything based on fact (unless the Security services know otherwise, which is probably likely).

I shall post more about this later on in the day as the details become clearer. I'm just thankful that nobody lost their lives due to this incident. We have been lucky this time.

Conservapedia the truth will set you free or perhaps not...

A rather amusing article on The Register about Conservapedia made me chuckle. No liberal bias getting in the way of conservapedia like that rubbish Wikipedia oh no. I have already spotted a factual error, they have Gordon Brown down as taking over from Tony Blair in July. James Gordon Brown, generally known as Gordon Brown, is a Scottish Labour politician who has served as Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer since 1997. His mutual enmity with Prime Minister Tony Blair has been a consistent feature of British political life for a number of years, and he is to take over as Prime Minister when Tony Blair retires on 27 July 2007. Why was conservapedia started for ? Well because of this little incident: Conservapedia (Motto: "The truth shall set you free") is the brainchild of Andy Schlafly, who was moved to act when "teaching a history class to home-schooled teens" and confronted with the term "BCE", or "before the common era", in one student's assignment. "Where did that come from?" he asked, only to receive the chilling reply: "Wikipedia." The motto is actually quite silly, as the only truth you'll see on conservapedia is a conservative point of view on the truth. As the description for Hillary Clinton shows :- Hillary Clinton may suffer from a psychological condition that would raise questions about her fitness for office. A recent book entitled The Extreme Makeover of Hillary Rodham Clinton examines the Senator's instability, incoherent speeches as both student and First Lady, casual disregard for the law, and ever-changing opinion on the Iraq war. These character flaws, analyst Bay Buchanan writes, make Hillary overly dependent on gurus and outside experts, with no internal compass to guide her, displaying all the classic symptoms of "clinical narcissism." The American Psychiatric Association describes this condition to include feelings of superiority, self-importance and "fantasies of unlimited success, fame or power." The author further states, "We are not talking about self-infatuation, we are talking about a clinical condition that could make her dangerously ill-suited to become President and Commander in Chief." Yes that is pointing out the truth ain't it. Hillary Clinton is probably the main factor in Bill Clinton's successful attempt to become President of the United States, and she also stuck with Bill through thick and thin when the Conservatives tried their hardest to oust Clinton via impeachment. And it's not like Bush doesn't rely on a closed number of advisers and Dick Cheney. If Hillary Clinton is fit to be president is down to the American people to decide on election day if she of course wins the Democrat''s presidential nomination. For all wikipedia's faults, being too liberal is the least of my concerns about it. Factual correctness and impartial information is what is required for any truths to be valid. That means chucking out the liberal and conservative bias down the toilet and flushing it several times.

David Cameron declares himself a zionist and the current internal Palestinian violence

"If what you mean by Zionist, is someone who believes that the Jews have a right to a homeland in Israel and a right to their country then, yes, I am a Zionist and I'm proud of the fact that Conservative politicians down the ages have played a huge role in helping to bring this about." JP article on Cameron. Probably about the best thing Cameron has said in the past month (his grammar school comments had me snorting into my tea). If Cameron means it, is another question entirely. He seems to say a lot of things that play well with a particular group of people. I think it is high time that people in the UK had a more reasonable view of Israel, other than the bog standard "They kill Palestinians indiscriminately, occupy land illegally, part of the Zionist agenda" that the left tend to pump out with great vehemence. I have had many disagreements with Tulips over Israel, but i hold the firm belief that the world would be a much poorer place without Israel. Which on balance has a very good democracy, treats Palestinians in it's hospitals where possible and are willing to make peace with the Palestinians, providing Hamas recognises Israel and it's right to exist. Though it seems that Hamas is hell bent on controlling the Gaza strip and in doing so creating a small Islamic state that is undemocratic (i can't see Hamas holding elections, unless they feel sure of victory in the polls) and a regime that will propel Palestinians into ever more violent attacks against Israel. All the while demanding respect from the West and of course the money that the West is with holding from Hamas. It may seem like a good thing for Israel that the Palestinians are fighting and killing each other, but it's not. If Hamas gains control over the Gaza strip and more importantly young Palestinian minds, then Israel will be facing a much tougher and more radicalised enemy. Though I'm surprised that it's taken Hamas this long to try and create a dictatorship that replaces the old guard. BBC News Article. Jerusalem Post article. CNN article

Alan Johnston video

A video of the BBC reporter Alan Johnston has been released by the group (army of Islam) who claim to be holding him (he was abducted on March 12th on his way home in Gaza). It's a classic Jihadist video, the captive forced into bleating out the groups rants and demands. Now i find this to be counter productive for the Palestinians. As Alan Johnston was the only reporter to live in Gaza and give an account of the Palestinians every day life. It seems the Army of Islam is a shadowy group in Gaza that is slowly gaining a hold.

If this Army of Islam had any morals they would Alan Johnston without delay, but i fear he will end up being killed (if he hasn't been already, the Army of Islam follows the idiology of Osama Bin Laden if reports i saw on the rolling news channels were accurate, i shall do some checking up later. Though i don't think there is much to go on).

Which ever view point you take on the Israel vs Palestinian issues, you cannot deny that you need journalists to report the reality's of the conflict on the ground (even if those journalists are biased in you view - don't bite my head off Tulips, i know you dislike the BBC's reporting of Israel).

I hope i'm wrong and that Alan Johnston is still alive and will be freed shortly. It will be fascinating to hear his account of the experience. Frank Gardner another BBC journalist gave a very frank (pardon the pun) account of his shooting in Saudi Arabia by millitants and his battle to regain his mobility to a certain a degree.

Journalism is our window into the various conflicts around the world. Be they political or religious conflicts. Without Journalists risking their lives we would have very little idea of whats going on. Though these days you have to check up facts like never before (due to the various agenda's the news channels have, Murdoch being the worst example of pushing an agenda through his media outlets).
