UK airports on alert over jihad plots involving surgically implanted bombs

Jul 3, 2014 9:33 pm By Robert Spencer

UKpoliceairport“It is feared Islamist groups may be putting together a ‘non-metallic’ device, which could potentially be surgically-implanted inside a terrorist’s body and be almost invisible to current security checks.” Islamic jihad groups keep coming up with new innovations to foil airport security procedures. When will they be added to the 1001 Muslim Inventions exhibit?

“Air passengers face extra delays and second checks at departure gates amid fears of ‘plot to bring down jets with new type of “stealth” bomb,'” by Ray Massey, Richard Spillett and Emma Glanfield, Daily Mail, July 2, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Air passengers are facing extra delays at departure gates across the UK as security staff carry out heightened checks amid fears that Islamist groups are working on an undetectable ‘stealth bomb’ which could bring down an airliner.

Increased patrols and extra precautions were brought in at terminals around the UK overnight as Britain remained on a ‘substantial’ terror alert following reports that two networks are trying to produce a new explosive.

However, the increased security measures have left thousands of passengers facing possible delays with some claiming the increased scrutiny of hand luggage and X-ray machine images has slowed the pace at departure gates.

The increased security warnings from the Department of Transport and Downing Street today came as millions of holidaymakers prepared to embark on their summer breaks.

Although the full extent of the new security measures has not been divulged, they could include second checks on personal electronics and footwear before passengers board a plane.

It is feared Islamist groups may be putting together a ‘non-metallic’ device, which could potentially be surgically-implanted inside a terrorist’s body and be almost invisible to current security checks.

Concerns are growing over the ‘new generation bombs’ – possibly being developed by Syrian and Yemeni terrorists – which could slip past conventional detectors and may already have been tested by militants in war-torn Syria.

ABC News today quoted a US defence insider as saying the new threat is ‘different and more disturbing’ than attempted terror attacks in the past.

Travellers at London’s Heathrow said airport staff’s painstaking analysis of hand luggage and heightened security measures had slowed the pace at the departure gate at Terminal Three today.

American student Eryk Salvaggi, 35, who was due to travel on a Virgin Atlantic flight to Boston this evening, said: ‘We had to go through the same process as usual, taking belts off, electronics out of bags, no large amounts of liquids and stuff, but the security guys were paying a lot of attention to everyone’s bags and items as they went through the scanners.

‘It seemed to take twice as long for each bag to go through, I’ve never seen it done like that before and I have travelled a lot.

‘There were a lot of bags being taken aside too, when they came out the other side, for extra searches.

‘There seemed to be a lot of frisking going on too.

‘Luckily it seemed pretty quiet, there weren’t big queues. It’s a good thing it’s not the holidays.’
Clegg stresses importance of increased airport security

The extra caution comes after the US Department of Defence said there was a ‘credible’ and ‘realtime’ threat from international terrorists, singling out jihadis from al-Qaeda backed groups in the Middle East for plotting to bring down airlines.

The Department for Transport said the extra measures – which have not been disclosed in detail – were not expected to cause ‘significant disruption’ to passengers and noted that the official UK threat status remained unchanged….

    Remember, though, that world jihad has nothing to do with Islam.

      Your sentence will thing of the past soon. The civilized world will inevitably realize and the mass media will finally have the courage to explain that jihad has everything to do with Islam. It is inevitable. Mr. Spencer and Mrs Geller will finally get the respect they deserve.

      Ha! Ha! Yes, let’s hear Dave Cameron tell us that one more time: “SUICIDE BOMBING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM”… even the mullahs write fatwas that say suicide bombings (…oops! ‘MARTYRDOM operations’) are halal.

      When will the COST of having Muslims in Western countries become too high to bear?

    “When will they be added to the 1001 Muslim Inventions exhibit?”

    What a laugh.

    Now tell me Robert why do you think that Muslims could not have 1001 inventions when they discovered Australia.

    http://sheikyermami.com/is-ahmed-fahur-deceiving-unsuspecting-australian-taxpayers/

    The Islamic ­Museum of Australia show­cases the heritage and culture of Australian Mozlems, through art, architecture, food and installations. One of their most outrageous claims is that they ‘discovered’ Australia long before Captain Cook arrived.

    If it is stealth jihad why can’t it be stealth bomb.

    Time for a new book Robert or new chapter on stealth bomb which is not in your Stealth Jihad

    A preemptive strike exposing the blatant farce of Islamic ideology would do more to stop this than a piece-meal attack on the so called “fringe extremist radicals”

    Inventors of evil – A perfect example of this passage:

    And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

    (Romans 1:28-32)

    • Charli Main says

      Jul 4, 2014 at 2:43 am

      because they make an enormous contribution to British society.
      Mosques on every street, designer bin bag apparel for women, taking over schools for the purpose of religious indoctrination of children and rejecting British laws in the areas they infest.
      Oh, and lets not forget all the cultural contributions the Muslims make– hacking off women´s genitals, grooming and raping little girls ( under 9 years are best )
      murdering any women that refuse to obey their male owners, breeding like rats and living off the Jizya the Kaffirs give them AKA the British benefits system

  9. Smart Guy says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 12:57 am

    The Tories brought in the Moslems in to Britain for cheap labor that will not support trade unionism. The ruling class then came up with the idea of calling anyone who opposed the importation of Moslems as racists. The labour party has supported Islam thinking that importing Moslems was their idea. A Tory from Wolverhampton could see such a policy as the desruction of England. He broke from the party and preached against it, so that people mistakenly think that opposition to Islam comes from the Tories, it does not.

    US airports also currently have heightened security, as you’d think would happen here, this weekend especially, if needed in the UK. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/03/us-increases-airport-security-worldwide-following-report-increased-terror/

    Fireworks are already being shot off in my neighborhood in anticipation of the US 4th of July where, oddly, we are celebrating an “independence” from the King of England when — less than 250 years later — we are headed down the same path as the UK to death or dhimmi enslavement of “we, the people” who are Jewish, Christian, humanist or otherwise non-Muslim.

    Because of UK roots in the main part of the family tree that isn’t Cherokee (another dominated people), I have always felt we had much more in common between our two countries (including Judeo-Christian heritage) than, say, either of us would have with Muslims. That goes double with how horrific are the Quranic and related Islamic scriptures for virtual genocide along a road of hideous cruelty to all who do not capitulate.

    This is preamble to how I’d like to keep the Celtic people of the UK as blood kin, so to speak, in my prayers, along with all non-Muslims in the UK. Also I ask for your prayers for the US as we go into flag-waving Independence Day with a POTUS who by his own interview words conveys the Muslim view of Jesus that Muhammad bastardized into the Quran instead of the orthodox and/or Bible view of Jesus Christ as Son of God (born through Mary), the Savior and Lord, in the triune Godhead.

    Much like Islam’s false taqiyyah claim by billboard that “Jesus is Muslim,” the POTUS has claimed to be a Christian when his own explanation and paternal lineage belies it.

    Without my strong assurance and faith in the authentic (not the bastardized Islamic) Jesus Christ as author and finisher of the faith, “Christus Victor” over the Evil One, I would not sleep a wink in the US tonight knowing what could be coming as terrorism under this particular POTUS when the IS caliphate has been declared. Even if I can sleep well, I decry the suffering that Islam brings everywhere.

    And so I ask you, if you’re non-Muslim praying people, please say a little prayer for the US and her people from now through this July 4th weekend along these lines:

    (1) Any weapon formed against the US by Muslims or their allies will not prosper;
    (2) Heroes and heroines will be vigilant among the rank-and-file people from young to old, from students to parents and off-duty military, from sea to shining sea, gathering in stadiums and large venues to watch fireworks and hear music to notice, report and block any efforts of Islamic terror on US soil or adjacent air and water;
    (3) Heroic law enforcement folks of all types, on and off duty (from highway patrol and city and county police officers to private security guards, the Border Patrol and TSA) will likewise bear the task to be the eyes and ears on the ground to notice, report and block any efforts of Islamic terror on US soil or adjacent air and water; and
    (4) If there are any thwarted plans for Islamic terrorism, all co-conspirators leave an unmistakable trail of evidence gathered and handled heroically by those who will refuse to bury or contaminate the evidence even if bribed, so that full prosecution can occur as well as credible and extensive news coverage through everything from cell-phone cameras and online social media and blogs to reporting media presenting facts to a global public about the truth of Islam in violent action plan.

    And please know I’m praying the same four-fold prayer for all non-Muslim people the world over!

    If you’re willing to pray, I’d prefer it in prayed in Jesus’ name, if that fits for you, but any compassionate thought or prayer is welcome because God will honor the intentions of your heart wherever you are.

    Also as another note about the connection between the two English speaking nations across the Atlantic from one another — Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924), an Anglican priest who graduated Cambridge, wrote what was my favorite hymn in what used to be called Vacation Bible School as sung when a little girl. It is perhaps fitting for the spiritual warfare to which Christians are (or ought to be) called in response to Islam’s physical terror, because it goes like this: “Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go!” See also, e.g., Ephesians 6: 10-20.

    Of course the hymn for reasons of political correctness no longer appears in the last hymnal I had from singing in a postmodern denominational choir, so good thing I remember the tune!

    In these times of Islamic jihad, I’m thinking of changing my church-going loyalty to the Salvation Army. The SA seemingly doesn’t get invited in the US by the imams who strain for Islamic interfaith dominance on their own turf of American mosques. The SA has apparently shown up in the UK at Islamic request for interfaith photo ops with church women in leadership roles which, given that the last photo I found was four years ago, no doubt didn’t go over well with the bearded imams of misogyny. Another taqiyyah trick foiled. Praises to the true, living God which Allah will never be!

    The UK Security Services said that it will not be using race or religion to profile passengers carrying surgically implanted bombs. So if you’re an aged white European you are most likely to be strip searched, internally probed and x-rayed while a woman in a burka will be waved through. To do otherwise would be to infuriate our Muslim community who are ready to complain of Islamophobia if one of them is searched to this extent.

      but, of course!!!!
      Indians, Sikhs, Chinese, Jews, Poles el al have a long history of blowing up women and children on buses, trains and planes.
      and don´t forget all those priests and nuns–they are the most dangerous of all !!!!!

      The women are the ones who present the greatest danger as a woman can be intimidated into carrying a bomb and she can most easily conceal it under her Islamic dress. They are also less likely under the present climate to be searched thoroughly. One drawback though, women cannot be enticed by the promised 72 dark eyed virgins. According to Madmo most women go to hell!

    And who is it that surgically implants these bombs? A Doctor? In a hospital or clinic where he has assistance of a nurse or 6? And what about sterilized instruments, what about infections, what kind of painkillers are provided? The presence of drugs or alcohol in a persons system can be determined the same way police test for drunk drivers, blood , urine, or breathalizer, and another, sputum. The breathalizer is the least intrusive, followed by spitting in a cup. The agent can know nearly everything about you in seconds, if someone has suspicious drugs in their systems they can be pulled aside for closer examination.
    Personally, I don’t fly so I don’t have to share any of my vital body fluids with strangers. My vital body fluids are important to me, I use them almost every day, so I’m reluctant to give them up.

    “Islamic jihad groups ‘plot to bring down jets with new type of “stealth” bomb,’”

    What is really amazing is their ability to bring leftist liberals to their knees with something as simple as a stealthy COEXIST bumper sticker.

    Wasn’t there an arab that tried to kill a Saudi Prince by having a bomb shoved up his ass? It did’t work. It was all about getting former terrorists to surrender. This terrorist got all the way into the inner office of the Saudi. He asked to use the phone to call his terrorist buddy to tell him to surrender as well. The number he dialed was the phone in his ass. Boooooom. These terrorists really put their ass into it!
