From AP:
LONDON - Police in Britain and Italy questioned 21 suspects as they sought to piece together the networks behind the London bombings, probing for possible links between the two sets of attacks and for connections to any accomplices overseas.Investigators arrested seven people Sunday at a four-story brick apartment building in Brighton, on England's southern coast, and also searched another home in the city. They gave few details about what role the six men and seven women were suspected of playing in the failed July 21 attacks on the capital's transit system.
So far, 18 people are in custody in Britain and three in Italy.
Police say the four suicide bombers who carried out the July 7 attacks, which killed 52 victims, are all dead. And they believe they have arrested all the failed July 21 bombers, whose explosives detonated only partially and took no lives.
Now they are searching for those who may have recruited and directed the attackers and built the explosives, anxious to catch them before they - or other would-be bombers they command - strike again.
Investigators are also searching for links between the two terror cells, one made up mostly of Pakistani Britons and the other mainly of east African immigrants to London. The groups struck exactly two weeks apart, each attacking three London Underground trains and a red double-decker bus...
"It's extremely likely there will be other people involved in harboring (suspects), financing and making the devices," she said, speaking on condition of anonymity, because the department does not allow her to give her name.
In Italy, authorities were pursuing contacts linked to Osman Hussain, 27, who was arrested in Rome on Friday and is suspected of trying to bomb the Shepherd's Bush subway station in west London.
Police have discovered that Hussain called Saudi Arabia hours before his arrest, the Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported. The Sunday Times said another bombing suspect - Ethiopian-born Briton Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27 - took a monthlong trip to Saudi Arabia in 2003, telling friends he was to undergo training there...
Off Topic. John Garang's death has been confirmed. Rioting is taking place in Juba and Khartum: the Christians of Sudan evidently have no more confidence that this death is an accident than I do. I have a suspicion that civil war is about to restart. How sad. Sudan has been forced to the negotiating table; they have been forced to make peace; now the main partner in that peace is dead "by accident". What a pity, huh?
Meanwhile, on AL BBC:
Tarik Ramadan, (Robert Spencers favorite foe and adversary) -I hasten to add that seeing the guy live conirmed my nightmares- yes, this said Tarik Ramadan was on " BBC-Hardtalk" with a clueless interviewer.
Obviously Tim Sebstian escaped since he didn't want to lose his job. He likes to ask questions...
Oh yes, there was also a third party, a "Mohammed":
Kaftan, beard, coffee-filter and calling himself a "Britsh Muslim" and the usual: The "rootcause", (of course the Paleys/Israel) but surprise: Not ONLY: The terror would have happened anyhow, for Afganistan, Chechnya, Iraq. And it's all our fault, and of course THEY ARE HERE TO STAY (not a word about hundred thousand wanting to leave the hostile infidel countries) and that it is a "two way street" of course that we should go out on a limb to accommodate our Muzzie brothers who would gladly cut our throats if we just only let them be...
No. Deportations is the only answer. Whatever it takes!
Meanwhile, on AL BBC:
al-Laurel and al-Hardy
al-Laurel(Tarik Ramadan)and al-Hardy(Sidi Muhammad Umar)Interviewed by stooge(Nick Clarke)
The reaction within Britain's Muslim community to the London attacks has been swift and apparently unanimous - these killings had absolutely no sanction in Islam, but it is a community in shock. Many are asking themselves how apparently devout young men could commit such acts of terror in the name of their religion. Tariq Ramadan is an Islamic writer and academic based in France and Sidi Muhamad Umar represents young Muslims in the United Kingdom. Both represent Muslims advocating urgent action be taken to stop the killings.
It was proposed that
#1 British should try and understand Islam more
#2 People should stop attacking and preaching against islam
#3 The goverment should come down to the young muslim Blah blah blah
The stooge(Nick Clarke) did begin to warm up when he asked if Tony blairs statement that the terror was committed by people following an evil idiology,(we all know what that is) was making it more difficlt for al-laurel and al-hardy.But it bbecame very clear that the stooge(Nick Clarke) had no clue what the evil idiology is
At this point I called my dogs and went for a walk
18 UK suspects in custody, only 1 million, nine hundred & ninety nine thousand, nine hundred & eighty two still to round up.
Ramadan on BBC Hardtalk - what an absolute travesty! Whats next for the BBC, a Mosque Make Over show? Garden Force with Abu Hamza taking the place of Alan "infidel" Titchmarsh?
Soft soft soft - & corrupt. Thats the good old BBC - biased broadcasting cronyism. Just which section of British society do they actually represent? Maybe they have seen the way the tide is flowing & want some of that Saudi Jihad cash when the REAL British citizens stop paying the TV tax (licence). I have already stopped & told them why. I will not fund a left wing, anti US pro EUrabia, pro Islam broadcaster.
I have no problem with them being part of the Camel Corps, I just strongly object to paying for it.
Today they are beginning the rumour & speculation that the US UK special relationship is over - a new front in the tyrannically liberal
anti US BBC. If WWII was to start now, would they really give the Third Reich the same prominence, credence & legitamacy that Islamic Fascists get in the UK today? I wonder....
To my US colleagues & friends - rumours that we are about to have a falling out have been greatly exaggerated by the BBC. Please note they will use any story they can spin to support this bollocks - including a Poll taken at a Muslims Women Festival or George Galloways "Bring a Bush Effigy To Burn" BBQ or some such thing, asking them what they thought of the UK US Special Relationship. No surprises at the answers from those crowds.
One excellent thing to come out of the bastard who escaped to Italy - even the pro EUrabia lobby in the UK cannot understand why he was not put on the first plane back to the UK. Apparently, he will recind his UK citizenship BECAUSE he lied to get it - apparently he is not even Somali. Looks like he may, via the Human Rights Laws now governing the EU, be deported directly to Somalia where we cannot get hold of him - no matter how much food aid / cash aid / pop star aid we give them. Will someone please wake up the UK Customs man who watches the Eurostar trains, apparently suicide bombers can come & go as they please.
Remarkable really - the charity cash raised at the original Live Aid concert in 1985 - just how many Jihadists have been kept alive & thriving, do to the goodwill, generosity & naivety of the British public?
Albion: you are a twerp. Your suggestion that Italy of all countries is soft on terrorism comes ill from a Briton, even an ignorant one such as yourself. Nor do you seem to realize that this is not a game of macho men, but a matter of defending laws and citizens. In case you were not aware of it, dork, there is such a thing as extradition. Only criminals put their enemies "on the first plane". The rest of us have laws. And I had this weird idea that it was in the name of these laws that we should resist Islam, not in the name of your machismo and racism. The extradition proceedings are going on, and the murderous scum will be sent back to Britain in due course. Meanwhile, I suggest you learn something about international law and morality.
Some good piece of writing from the times in London

and
why multi-culti is such bull shit - this is a sweet article - on why diversity is only great in the oceans, the rainforests but not in the urban jungle ;)

FOXnews just reported that the Brits said they will use racial profiling in their searchs. One police official said they don't intent to "waste time on old white ladies". Britain's Black policemans association says racial profiling is acceptable if it is done "politely".
albion, the special relationship with the US is over, and the UK military is being quietly integrated into the ERRF. This will make future joint operations with US military impossible. See the EU Referendum blog:
