Incredible intelligence PDF Print E-mail

4 June 2006

Been holding off on this one, but it's looking increasingly likely that the East London 'terrorist raid' on Friday was based on faulty intelligence and badly handled. The evidence for this is roundabout, true, but based on past history, when the Met starts leaking bullshit to friendly newspapers.

A CHEMICAL bomb held by Islamic terrorists is primed to go off at any time, police feared last night. The device is believed to have been designed to release a toxic cloud in a crowded space — killing hundreds
The Sun

Bomb suspect shot by brother
The Screws

...right thinking men and women start drawing conclusions. The lack of corroborating evidence is the key here - the BBC admitted that they'd been told the same thing ('number of dead in three figures'), but not what the alleged chemical was (even though the police knew) and that the informant was 'possibly unreliable'. Single source, unreliable human intelligence on chemical weapons? Porton Down involved? Do we detect a whiff of 45 minutes and ricin here, mixed with the aroma of a bull's back end?

Which brings us to the shooting - according to the Sun (or the Met, even):

British-born Royal Mail worker Kahar Kalam, 23, was hit by a bullet in the chest after cops warned him not to move.

While the BBC has:

One line of inquiry is that there was a struggle with police and a gun went off accidentally, said BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw.

and

the only official statement about the shooting - from the head of the anti-terrorist branch Peter Clarke - did not say police shot the man.

And according to his lawyer:

He was woken up about four in the morning by screams from downstairs, got out of bed in his pyjamas obviously unarmed, nothing in his hands and hurrying down the stairs.

Her client, whom she said was innocent, was shot "without any warning" as he came down the stairs. He wasn't asked to freeze, given any warning and didn't know the people in his house were police officers until after he was shot,"

Today's Screws, as we've seen, claims the brother did it. So an unarmed man was shot by another unarmed man after they struggled with people they didn't know were policeman, but who *were* armed. All very confusing. If the guys in the house *were* armed do you really think the police wouldn't have given them the De Menezes treatment?

One final joyous word from Murdoch's finest:

The alleged bomb plot is the fourth major conspiracy hatched by al-Qaeda sympathisers to have been smashed by security services in Britain since the July 7 bombings which killed 52.

A source said: “After 9/11 in 2001, we were dealing with one major scenario every six months. Now we deal with serious terrorist conspiracies every six days

World-class bullshit there. You wear a beard, go to a mosque, the police bash your door in and shoot your brother and you're now an 'al-Qaeda sympathiser'. I didn't realise it was so easy to join.
