September 11 was meant to be much, much bigger. Imagine the effect if the jihadists had succeeded in crashing a plane into the White House, which seems to be where the one that crashed in Pennsylvania was likely going, as well as into the House of Commons and the Tower Bridge. "Al-Qaeda Suspect Jailed in Bombay," from ArabNews, with thanks to Skeetstreet:
BOMBAY, 23 July 2005 — A local Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court in Bombay, became the first Indian court to send to jail the first Indian Muslim on charges of terrorism.The man was jailed for plotting to crash passenger jets into the House of Commons and the Tower Bridge in London on Sept. 11, 2001....
The suicide squads which included men from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan booked themselves on two Manchester-bound flights but the group panicked and fled just before they were due to board.
Remind us again -when were those British troops sent to Iraq?
I saw this on the news this evening. He was treated like a hero. And didn't exactly seem all that remorseful or sad. But at least he'll be jailed. Hopefully the jails over there are a lot more uncomfortable than the ones in Western countries.
Melbourne's Rialto Towers was also a target. In 2001. Hmmm, yes, a bit earlier than Iraq. So I doubt the media will pay much attention to this story. No mileage in it. No opportunity to kick John Howard over it.
Thank god the POTA act was created when the Hindu majority government came to power in India or else you wouldn't even see this happen.

March 2003.

HANG ON A MINUTE
Was britain not bombed because of Its involvement in the war in IRAQ?
Surprise! britain was already targeted before then?
Is this not a huge argument in challenging the idiocy of the liberal lefty brits.
