Terror Plot Involves Islamic Extremists; Police Have 'Crystal Clear' Picture of Suspect
June 29, 2007 2:56 PM
British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence.
Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.
Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
Special Report Video Multiple Bombs in Foiled Plot
U.S. and British law enforcement officials tell ABC News it is increasingly clear Friday's bomb plot in London involves multliple vehicles, and is described by a senior official as a "terror plot involving lslamic extremists."
THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS
The silver Mercedes sedan discovered early Friday morning outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub in Piccadilly Circus appears to have been stolen in early June and was spotted in the last two days, first in Scotland and then in Birmingham, England, according to law enforcement officials.

The car contained five or six propane and butane gas cylinders as well as 33 gallons of gasoline, all rigged to detonate with calls to two cell phones. Officials say the cell phones failed to initiate the explosions, even after each phone had been called twice.

These Islamic extremists are equal to the KKK or Black Panthers with these kind of tactics. They must be stopped.

I say we should help the British find the Islamic terrorists who are behing this and snuff them as an example to the others seeking to harm innocent people.

I hope when they arrested this guy they beat him within an inch of his life,rinse and repeat. I cann't believe I feel the way I do. 2 years ago I was a peaceful democrat, today I am a right wing fanatic that wants to erase these people from the history books. Hows that for submission Islam?

"Islamic Extremists" again, huh? BIG surprise there. Will we hear from the moderate Islamists? Will they stand up and defend the TRUE meaning of their religion and admonish those who drag Islam and Allah through the mud?

There is a person who was under house arrest who disappeared two weeks ago.
Must be him

Surely not something like this from the religion of peace!

"I have been made victorious with terror"
Can anyone guess who said this? Google is your friend.

The moderate Islamists will not denounce this type of action by Islamic Extremists.. So they must be part of the problem.. Maybe some one should start knocking Extremist Islamist off? And see how they like it then.. Fight fire with fire..

To Arizona Mike: These Islamic extremists are equal to the Bush Administration not the Black Panthers.

It is one thing to want to kill all of the terrorists that were/are trying to attack us. It is quite another thing to divert our ENTIRE military into a country that never had any ties to attacking us, thereby taking away most of our resources in tracking down the real terrorists.
Even if you are mad, you must keep your mind clear enough to make rational decisions.

Yeah, thanks for printing this story. Now the next time the terrorists will wear masks to hide their ID -- brilliant!

Ah yes, the Peaceful Religion.

Too bad the brits cant defend themsleves. Note to USA, first get rid of Radical Islam, THEN ban all the guns.. not the other way around..

Why do all of this police work? Kerry suggested that terrorism was a police issue and he was belittled by Bush. Hey George, instead of arresting the bombers and their cell, who do we bomb??
Posted by: Robert | Jun 29, 2007 3:44:01 PM
Maybe 'we can't all get along.' If Extremist are 'unhappy' living in the West ..... than GO BACK HOME. We don't need you ..... we don't want you .... truthfully we really don't want to learn anything about you or your religion.....or ANY religion! Good-bye!

Anyone who thinks we aren't in the middle of WW III is out of their mind.

What is it going to take to get BUSH out of office. They prove us wrong every step of the way. We need to bring the troops home. and take the people that aren't suppose to be here send them back to their country and stay there. Enough is a enough. If Bush is so right then prove it but, it on the evening news. if his plan is right then the troops would stop being killed, gas price would go down, The American Farmers could feed their cows. We could make ends meet at the grocery store. Just stop all of this. Every day the terriost win, if not by killing, by running prices up, Stand together America get BUSH out of office. We were going to impeach Clinton. NOBODY DIED for what he did and you could buy things. THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE. WE HAVE THE POWER.

Moslems are laughing their heads off. They know they can take down "the West" through the Trojan Horse of immigration. France and Germany are already "Eurabia". I am positive that all the leftist multiculturalists in Europe and America look forward to the day when Sharia law will be killing lesbians and homosexuals, chopping off the hands of thieves...I can't wait to see how welcoming Islamic governments in England, USA, France, etc. will be toward Gay Pride paraders. Get ready, America, we have already been invaded.
