Do you know about Mr. Aswat or Mr. Khan, readers?
"5 Convicted in London Bomb Plot" by DAVID STRINGER Associated Press | May 1, 2007; 5:33 PM
LONDON -- Five al-Qaida-linked men were sentenced to life in prison Monday for plotting to bomb a nightclub, power plants and a company doing work in Iraq -- a plan that exposed links between their terror cell and the suicide bombers who attacked London's transit system in 2005.
The five were convicted... after a yearlong trial in which prosecutors and an FBI informant claimed the group was linked to al-Qaida leaders. It was Britain's longest terror case.
Here we go again!! Always some FBI provocateur in the middle of it!
Surveillance teams tracking the five men stumbled onto the transit attackers over a year before they killed 52 commuters on July 7, 2005, but officials failed to piece together intelligence in time to halt the blasts.
More like MONITORING their PATSIES!
Though agents slipped a tracking device on transit bombing ringleader Mohammed Siddique Khan's car and heard him pledge to carry out violence against non-Muslims during bugged conversations, Britain's MI5 spy agency halted surveillance -- deciding he was not a priority....
And we now know why, readers.
The revelations are at odds with statements by Britain's government after the 2005 attack, when senior ministers -- who a month earlier had lowered the country's alert status -- said the strike was unexpected and the perpetrators unknown....
Translation: THEY LIED!
And then they LIED SOME MORE!
