How he got in, and whatever failure of communication between German and British officials that made this possible should be urgently investigated and corrected. "Germany Terror Plot Suspect On Run in Britain," from The Times of London:
A key suspect in the alleged plot to mount an attack in Germany on the scale of 9/11 is on the run in Britain, German security officials disclosed Saturday.
Scotland Yard counterterrorism detectives are hunting the man, who escaped from Germany after a plot to explode bombs at Frankfurt airport and a U.S. airbase. The collective power of the bombs would have exceeded those in Madrid and London in 2004 and 2005.
The plot was foiled on Sept. 4 when three men were arrested at a rented holiday apartment near the central German town of Kassel. Police recovered chemicals and bomb-making equipment which investigators believe would have led to the biggest loss of life since the 9/11 attacks in America six years ago.
About 10 other members of the gang were said by German prosecutors to have escaped and one is now in Britain. The arrested three — two of whom were German nationals who had converted to Islam — were alleged by prosecutors to be members of an Al Qaeda splinter group called the Islamic Jihad Union.
At the time the British and German authorities denied that there were any links between the cell and Britain. Security sources also played down reports that there had been telephone contact between members of the cell and people in Britain.
However, it emerged Saturday that the Germans have told Britain that at least one of the fugitives has since made his way to this country. A security dragnet has been put in place by Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command to try to arrest the man.
I still stand by my prediction that CAIR and Hooper will embrace "Profiling" at the Airports and Border-points when the Islamists finally start bombing U.S. Mosques that are deemed as Moderate and "Apostate" filled .
Iraq has Muslims killing other Muslims by bombing the Holy-Sites which they tell us are called Mosques , we already saw the Sunni/Shi'ite tension in the USA that Hooper blamed on Bush so it's not a far stretch to see the current Muslim-Vandalism of Mosques -that CAIR labels as "Islamophobic" acts- escalate to a full out Jihad for Allah to purge the Apostate-Muslims prior to the big Jihad for a Caliphate and Sharia law for the USA.
CAIR/Hooper , will once again blame the USA as they did for the 9/11 attack when they boasted that none of the 19 Muslims were "American" based mass-murderer followers of Islam , the rantings by Hooper will "Demand" profiling to stop the Bad-Muslims from entering the USA and smearing the Peaceful tenets of Islam and Muhammed.
The Jihadists on the run are being allowed to run merely by the lack of will by other Muslims to turn this Murderers in because I really doubt that not one Muslim has every met or saw these thugs in their Mosque or local community.
Maher Arar was a Victim of CAIR's tactic to coach Muslim to not help Police expose terror cells or Terrorists in the West, plus , CAIR had earlier said that 9-11 was from Poor national Security for allowing Single/Foreign/young/Muslim/males into the USA that enter by themselves as Arar tried to do when he fled Tunisia as the Government drained the swamp and found him and the family after they fled canada to live with his wifes Family that was being watched for their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Politician and the average person just can't seem to connect the dots for CAIR's flow-chart of Whahabists within the Pyramid structure of bogus
Charities and Civil Liberty org.'s laundering donation through each other to end up supporting Global Jihad.
Good letter in jpost.com:
There's a problem,
let's admit it
Sir, - Rabbi Eric Yoffie claims "there is no shortage of voices prepared to tell us that fanaticism and intolerance are fundamental to Islamic religion." One of the more credible of those voices is the Danish linguist Tina Magaard, whose comparative study of the basic texts of 10 religions over three years concluded: "The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree. There are also straightforward calls for terror. This has long been a taboo in the research into Islam, but it is a fact that we need to deal with. There are hundreds of calls in the Koran for fighting against people of other faiths. If it is correct that many Muslims view the Koran as the literal words of God, which cannot be interpreted or rephrased, then we have a problem."
Events validate these conclusions, and the sooner we admit we have a problem, the sooner it can be fixed ("Will Rabbi Yoffie's message resonate?" September 30).
"TERRORISM AND THE KORAN".
Where is that book?
With each sura that promotes unholy violence - along with its historical evidence- quoted and critiqued in a short, sharp and shocking volume.
Too many people will not read long, scholarly works.
We need a "Why They Fight Us" primer.
Like Tom Paine's "The Crisis".
A good online link for internal contradictions in the Koran is:

"Jihadist on the Run" - not by Paul McCartney and Wings
This guy can run and he can also hide. How many Muslims in Europe will help him evade capture? That is apparently the role of the so called moderate Muslims.
From Marisol's comment above: "How he got in ....... should be investigated"
Unfortunately this is one of the joys of EU membership; citizens of any member state can travel freely to any other member state. Just join the correct queue at the port/airport, the one labelled "EU Passports", and you are generally waved on through.
This, of course, leads one to wonder if the missing jihadi, like his two 'revert' colleagues, is one of those cutely-termed "home grown terrorists" that we keep hearing about (pictures of potting sheds and suburban green houses come to mind)rather than an "Asian Youth".
Off topic but I just wanted to butt in to let everyone know I'm back at the helm and blogging again.
Oh crumbs....what have I done???
'Escaped?'
A bit weird, that. The Germans usually don't let anyone escape.
I would really like to know how that happened. But more peculiar:
The guy gets to the UK and 'disappears'- just like OBL disappeared in spite of a 50 million dollar bounty on his head. Mysterious, no?
I will await Gordon Brown making an announcement soon that Islam has no more to do with terrorism than any other religion. Following this will be a fervent request by the Prime Minister or a spokesman of his that moderate (and deeply patriotic of course) British Muslims actively aid British authorities in tracking down this particular Muslim fugitive from Germany, who has so stained the honor of the ultimate religion where peace and tolerance are concerned.
50 million in bounty is peanuts compared to what the US gives Pakistan for "cooperation."
The Pakis are way ahead keeping him hidden and pretending to help find him.
infidel!, that's a very good point. As long as there are terror masters hiding in Pacrappistan we'll keep on paying them the jizya, ostensibly to get them to help us find Loney-bin Laden and a few other terrorists.
But once we catch them all, they'd lose the billions in yearly income from us.
Makes ya feel goo abotu paying taxes, doesn't it?
I thinbk we should create incentive for their cooperation by bombing the heck out of the place until they hand over the terrorists we want.
If they say: "we don't know where they are" we should say: "Your bad. Go find 'em and we'll stop bombing the crap out of your hellholistan."
I guarantee you that approach would have alredy delivered the looney-one plus a few others more..
Britain's membership of the EU means that we cannot stop citizens of other EU countries from coming here.
Not only that, but our adherence to the EU's human rights laws mean we can't kick out undesirables if they are from an EU country. e.g. the murderer Learco Chindamo, who we can't deport back to his native Italy. See:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6955071.stm
We also cannot kick out Abu Hamza's family, who are ensconced here at tax-payers' expense, and they're not even from Europe. See:

The EU is great if you're a bad guy. It's not surprising they flock here and try to murder us.
