International | Anti-WarBritish press: Widow of 7/7 bomber hunted in terror alert
British media's ever-increasing campaign of war, fear and hate-mongering is an ominous sign of new wars abroad and severe repression at home. ![]() The Times, 29 February 2012 ![]() London Evening Standard, 29 February 2012 ![]() The Sun, 1 March 2012 ![]() Belfast Telegraph, 1 March 2012 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ British press: Widow of 7/7 bomber hunted in terror alert [propaganda alert] compiled by Cem Ertür 2 March 2012 Widow of 7/7 bomber hunted in terror alert Kenyan police investigating new plot seek woman with multiple identities 7/7 bomber's widow hunted in terror alert by Sean O'Neill, The Times, 29 February 2012 A
woman who police believe may be the widow of one of the July 7 bombers
is wanted for questioning by Kenyan authorities about a suspected
terror plot, The Times has learnt.
Anti-terrorist officers in Nairobi suspect that Samantha Lewthwaite, 28, who was married to Jermaine Lindsay, the suicide bomber who blew up a Tube train at King's Cross [in Central London] in 2005, may have been part of a cell planning a terror attack in the coastal city of Mombasa last Christmas. The Kenyans are hunting a female suspect who evaded capture when police swooped on the group last December. [...] She has had three identities in the past and that [Samantha Lewthwaite] is one possible identity," Eric Kiraithe, a Kenyan police spokesman, said yesterday. [...] The Kenyan authorities have been liaising with the [London] Metropolitan Police over the continuing operation. The Met [i.e. the London Metropolitan Police] sent a large team of detectives from its Counter Terrorism Command to Nairobi to assist with the investigation and attempts have been made to trace her in Britain. [...] The terror cell is thought to have been directed by al-Shabaab, the Mujahidin group which is waging a guerrilla war against Kenyan security forces in neighbouring Somalia. There are between 30 and 40 Britons at present fighting with al-Shabaab, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda, in the Somali conflict. ______________________________ related news: Head of state 'funded al-Qaeda and knew of 7/7 terror attacks' Members of an Asian head of state's family have funded al–Qaeda and had advance knowledge of the July 7 terrorist attacks on London, according to claims made public by MPs and peers yesterday. by Christopher Hope and Robert Winnett, Daily Telegraph, 25 February 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/9104424/Head-of-state-funded-al-Qaeda-and-knew-of-77-terror-attacks.html Somali terrorists warn of reprisals on British streets Islamists tell West not to intervene as London summit discusses future of war-torn state by Nigel Morris, The Independent, 24 February 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/somali-terrorists-warn-of-reprisals-on-british-streets-7440157.html Al-Shabaab: armed, violent and recruiting young Britons to its ranks (*) Intelligence agencies say young extremists are traveling to training camps in Somalia as they once did in Afghanistan (*) title of the print edition by Nick Hopkins and Richard Norton-Taylor, The Guardian, 22 February 2012 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/21/al-shabaab-somali-militant-recruiting Don't panic: scheduled terror event About 2,500 people are taking part in "Operation Forward Defensive", a large-scale Olympics counter-terrorism training exercise, the "most complex" that has been attempted to date. by Tom Peck, The Independent, 21 February 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/dont-panic-scheduled-terror-event-7237438.html 'Lone wolf' terror threat to Britain British terrorists returning from international conflict zones are posing a growing "lone wolf" threat to the UK, a think tank has warned. by Neil Millard, The Sun, 7 February 2012 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4113106/British-terror-news-Lone-wolf-terror-threat-to-UK.html Syria releases the 7/7 'mastermind' The alleged terrorist mastermind behind the July 7 London bombings is reported to have been freed from a Syrian jail by President Bashar Assad's regime. by Jason Lewis, Sunday Telegraph, 5 February 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/9061400/Syria-releases-the-77-mastermind.html Gang inspired by al-Qaida admit plot to bomb landmarks across London: Targets included Stock Exchange and Big Ben 'Linchpin' warned he faces 13 years in prison by Sandra Laville, The Guardian, 2 February 2012 http://dialog.newsedge.com/portal.asp?site=2007100814443105593225&searchfolderid=pg2007100814522209759333&block=default&portlet=ep&nzesm=on&syntax=advanced&display=1675684152&action=sitetopics&mode=realtime&nzenb=left&criteria=[company%3D1675684152]&searchID=730071&datetime=[t-minus%3D7]&hdlaction=story&storyid=[storyid=4MWddXkvbwJyWoKm6yTi4a3gSNyl7JzRJhWCQYhM0pn61DG9_bNP_pFjLmp9yhee]&rtcrdata=on&epname=USDOLLAR& ______________________________ from the archives: UK on alert for women bombers Two women suicide bombers are plotting a terrorist outrage timed to coincide with a conference of world leaders being held in London this week. by James Murray and Ted Jeory, The Express on Sunday, 24 January 2010 http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/153778/UK-on-alert-for-women-bombers/ Terror cops seize widow of 7/7 bomber Atrocity ringleader's wife and brother among four held by Lucy Thornton and Jeff Edwards, Daily Mirror, 10 May 2007 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/terror-cops-seize-widow-of-77-473716 ______________________________ related articles: Paratroopers readied for future social unrest in UK Repressive techniques perfected in Northern Ireland are being deployed for the first time on the British mainland. by Paul Stuart, World Socialist Web Site, 25 February 2012 http://www.wsws.org/articles/2012/feb2012/riot-f25.shtml Britain’s secret proxy war in Syria The UK has been instrumental in consolidating relations between the disparate and isolationist opposition groups in Syria—not because the British elite want genuine democracy, of course, but because Syria’s President Assad would not acquiesce to the neo-liberal economic policies of the Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiative (BMENAI). by T.
