Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Six Muslims arrested as “significant plot to attack UK is disrupted”

Dec 14, 2016 8:47 am By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, the British government allows jihad preachers to stream into the UK, while banning foes of jihad terror.

“Terror arrests made after ‘significant plot to attack UK is disrupted,'” by Vikram Dodd, Guardian, December 12, 2016:

Counter-terrorism investigators have made six arrests after disrupting what they believe was a “significant plot” to attack the UK that was influenced by Islamic State.

Material recovered from an address raided in Derby has been initially assessed as being consistent with that needed to make homemade explosives, the Guardian understands.

The arrests were intelligence led but past cases have shown that initial assumptions among investigators are sometimes incorrect because materials for making homemade explosives can also have innocent uses.

It followed an operation by the domestic security service MI5 and counter-terrorism police. Counter-terrorism officials believe they have disrupted three attacks this year.

The arrests on Monday morning were made at four addresses in Derby, east Midlands, where those detained were aged 22, 27, 35 and 36. A 27-year-old man was also arrested in Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, as was a 32-year-old woman in London.

All six were detained on suspicion of engaging in the preparation of an act of terrorism, with the police operation being led by the north east counter-terrorism unit.

Bomb experts were called to an address after one of the arrests in Derby. Police said: “As a result of the arrests today, an army bomb disposal team has been called in as a precautionary measure to the Normanton area of Derby. No houses have been evacuated.”

As the day progressed, there was a noticeable and unusually high level of police activity in Leopold Street in Derby. Forensic teams entered a property and started carrying out searches….

Six addresses were being searched and police said the suspects were in custody, with detectives having 48 hours to release them, charge them or obtain a warrant for further detention.

Ch Supt Jack Atwal of Derbyshire police said: “People living and working in Normanton will have seen a large police presence in the area today.”

He added: “I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while officers remain in the area, supporting the investigation.

“Derby is a vibrant, multicultural city with a great community spirit and everyone has been very supportive of the action taken in Normanton today.”…

Translation: we’re not going to do anything about the motivating ideology behind this plot, so don’t even ask.

    Kudos to the law enforcement personnel who managed to do their work despite the shackles of political correctness forced on them from above.

      Just keep in mind, for each terror plot they disrupt, there has to be at least three or more plots cooking that they are un aware of!! Just a matter of time, before they pull it off… ie. the London subway attack… Opps, they missed that!! Just hope for the good people of all the UK, that the Yard, and others who are to protect the people are not ham strung on going after the pig savages!! For the sake of the innocent!!

    “Derby is a vibrant, multicultural city…”

    “The arrests on Monday morning were made at four addresses in Derby.”
    article

    Perhaps the two go together.

      Yes, ‘vibrant’ means ‘terrorist’ and ‘multicultural’ means ‘no one may criticize the terrorists’.

        Multicultural means white far-leftists are going to get a lot of Hindus and Blacks killed when the Muslims rise up, instead of just themselves.

        Ive never understood the need for diversity when you have a billion Europeans. Not to mention historically different cultures learn well from each other even when they don’t mix a lot.

        Reminds me of an Idiot journalist who said brexit was going to kill language learning. The European Union was only born in 1993, and I’m pretty sure Europeans learned each other’s languages long before that. Easier to kill each other that way.

    I would say that we deserve everything we get but do we? We can only, in a democracy, vote for the people the system puts up- the same people that make laws to allow this scum into the country. They will never stop trying to kill us and that is a direct result of our duplicitous, ignorant, left wing globalist politicians. Can you imagine what would happen, not if but when, the British public finally lose their rag and go on the offence? Well, if this carries on, which it will, you’ll see what happens and it ain’t gonna be pretty!!

      I think I’ve posted this comment previously but it’s worth repeating: if they keep on poking the sleeping English lion it will wake up and devour them.

    UK is an evil country which deserves to be punished by Muslims. No sympathy for a country which welcoms muslims with open arms. I hope one of those muslims will teach the ruling establishment in this country a good lesson in Islam.

      You have a Arabic first and last name, and want Muslims to rape England. For some reason, I doubt you are the Christian minority.

      There is not a single damn country without Islamic apologists. If you wish for Dhimmi countries to die, then you will soon be surrounded by Muslims. Not to mention a conquered Europe can be turned into a war machine.

      The ruling establishment kinda deserves it, but since you can’t differentiate between 60 million people I hope the counterattack gets you…..not really. But its the thought that counts.

    There are countless examples of the Far-left ignoring attacks on THEMSELVES. But, Since failed plots are so common, but not feared since no one died, imagine if every failed plot was reported as a deadly one?

    Haha, that would swamp “right-wing terrorism”, since it’s usually done by insane individuals impulsively. But count on the media to only use stats from 2002-2006.

    With each passing day in the UK, it must be that more and more caring British citizens are offended by a UK government that twists reality into “racist” accusations by loyal British citizens who witness and/or learn of the contortions of their government in order to cover-up the criminal excesses of a Muslim minority. That minority has no intent, nor will it ever have any interests in loyalty to the United Kingdom.
    Rather, the minority is treated to “carte blanche” brushes aside British law, in favor of its “shariah” law, receives protections from the UK government as it is afforded privileges while the non-Muslim population has its rights abridged by policies of appeasement.

    If they dont listen to Counter Jihadis, then they get what they ask for. So sad!
