Islamic Terror Suspects UP 50 percent in Britain
Islamic terror suspects in Britain up 50 percent since last year: report
(AFP)
The number of Islamic extremist security suspects in Britain has increased by 50 percent since the deadly suicide bombings in London last year, The Observer newspaper said on Sunday.
A senior intelligence source at the country’s domestic spy agency MI5 was quoted as saying that they were targeting 800 such suspects before the bombings on July 7 last year, but that figure now stood at 1,200.
In September 2001, the number of people deemed a “risk to national security” was 250, the newspaper said.
The unnamed MI5 source did not give a reason for the apparent rise in radicalisation but described the threat as “current, relentless and increasing”.
The Observer said a radical Islamic cleric whose sermons were attended by one of the July 7 bombers is to be released from prison ”within weeks” after serving just over half of a nine-year sentence for inciting murder and racial hatred.
Jamaican-born Abdullah el-Faisal once preached at the Brixton, south London, mosque attended by “Shoebomber” Richard Reid and Zacarias Moussaoui, the only man to be convicted in connection with the September 11, 2001 attacks.
He was convicted by a British jury in 2003 after his trial heard he had called for the murder of all non-Muslims and justified the use of nuclear and chemical weapons.
The newspaper said an order for his deportation was filed by the Home Office on March 30 but his lawyers have applied for his release on parole pending his removal.

What the hell is el-Faisal paying his attorneys for??? All the creep has to do is get deported, move to Afghanistan, highjack an airliner back to Britain, and request asylum. Why, I see book deals, movies, and talk show circuits to spread his poison.
The MI5 source didn't give a reason for the rise????? How about a lack of consequences.
Great Ceasar's Ghost, did someone spike their tea? And.......why is CHAVEZ allowed to visit Britain while refusing to meet with Blair????
Oh, Reagan, I hope you ain't watching this.
We need Superman.....Remember when he reversed the rotation of the earth so he could save Lois Lane???

Oh, by the way, the Chavez story is on the BBC news website. He is also stating that he will shut off all oil from Venezuela if we attack his buddy, his chum, his pal, Ahmadinejad.
Can't we find evidence of him laundering drug money and give him the old Noriega???
Ughhhhhhh,

Someday, probably after it is too late, The West will have to shut the immigration door for moslems and start closing the mosques and deporting imans, mullahs, etc.
