From The Observer, with thanks to Twostellas:
A British Muslim linked to the group suspected of carrying out the Madrid and Casablanca bombings worked at Heathrow airport as a manager for an international air company, an Observer investigation can reveal.Abdulatif Merroun, 42, who was jailed for five years in Morocco last year for his connection with an Islamic extremist group linked to al-Qaeda, was working for a Canadian airline as a site manager at Heathrow in 1998. During this time he met Mohamed al-Fazazi, the spiritual leader of the Moroccan extremist group Salifia Jihadia, and who is linked to the September 11 attacks.
According to Whitehall sources Merroun 'helped' the radical cleric at Heathrow airport.
Merroun, who obtained his British nationality by marrying a British convert to Islam, has dual British and Moroccan nationality. His wife is believed to have reported him missing in June 2002, when he is alleged to have travelled to Tangier in Morocco, and visited Fazazi's radical mosque.
Merroun was arrested last year in an operation conducted by Moroccan security forces against Islamic radicals in the wake of the Casablanca bombings and imprisoned.
And of course:
When the verdict was announced his wife Fatima Merroun, who lives in west London, claimed he was innocent and had nothing to do with Salafia Jihadia.'My husband wanted to bring his own witnesses to prove that he had nothing to do with this group ... and they refused it,' she said. Her husband had acted as an informal interpreter once for Fazazi at Heathrow, she said, adding that she was planning to launch a campaign in Britain to have him freed. Security sources said that Merroun 'did not feature' as a terror suspect.
"'My husband wanted to bring his own witnesses to prove that he had nothing to do with this group ... and they refused it,'" she said.
There is no way to get any truth out of an adherent to a so-called "religion" that encourages dissimulation (lying or taqiyya) for the faithful.
This sort of thing will happen more and more until one day it might be too late. The West is like the proverbial frog in the hot water bath. . .

This goes to show how carefully we must scrutinize people in those very sensitive positions. He had the opportunity to facilitate all kinds of mischief. Who knows who or what was brought in, or even forwarded to other countries.
The fifth column is indeed here...
We cannot do anything to stop this self destruction,not until the political correctness madness is gone.
We are practically forced to accept muslims in the military,at airport security areas,etc.
Times and agains ,muslims in key positions have turned against us and we still didn`t learn the lesson.
What does it take and how long until a catastrophic attack?!
God forbid such an attack happens,but if it will,i bet we will look back and regret our blindness.
