LONDON BOMBS : knowledge-drip, drip, drip...

When the bombs went off on 7th July last year the alleged bombers, we were told, were unknown to the police and intelligence services.

Shortly after 7/7 it was leaked that the alleged bombers had been under surveillance at some time, but were not thought to be a threat.

The French Minister Sarkozy alleged that some of the alleged bombers had been arrested the year before.

The Sunday Times today reports that the intelligence services had bugged Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer for two months. Kahn talked of his desire to fight in the Jihad, return to Pakistan, and raise money for Islamic extremism.

Question: why were they under surveillance in the first place? Is it, as the article alleges, because Kahn had attended a camp in Pakistan for terrorists?

So let's get this straight:
1. Kahn attends a terrorist training camp in Pakistan
2. Kahn returns to Great Britain and is subsequently bugged and placed under surveillance
3. during that surveillance Kahn is heard discussing fighting in the Jihad and raising money for terrorism

And yet he was not thought to be a threat to national security?

One item of news that has escaped the mainstream media's reporting of the London 7/7 bombs is the foreknowledge of the intelligence services of the bombs.

Meir Dagan told German newspaper Bild am Sontag that Mossad received advance warning of the bombs. This was reported in the 10th July edition of Bild am Sontag. It was only six minutes warning, Dagan says, but it was enough to stop Benjamin Netanyahu who was in a hotel close to Liverpool Street.

The reports surrounding this advance warning and Netanyahu are conflicting. Was it the British who stopped Netanyahu in the hotel foyer? Or was it the Israelis who stopped Netanyahu in his room?

Who knows? Who wants to know?

First Israel denied receiving advance warning.
Then it said the British told them.
But then Dagan says they received warning six minutes before the first explosion.

No wonder Blair wants to avoid a public inquiry!!

Who gave Israel advance warning of the explosions? Was it the British? If so, when did the British receive the warning? Was it coded like an IRA warning? Have they received similar warnings before?

2 = MI5 knew of Kahn's desire to fight in the Jihad and that he had attended a terrorist training camp
2 = there was advance warning received by somebody.

2 + 2 = coverup

I still stand by what I suggested to Rachel of North London when she attacked "the conspiraloons": THEY KNEW AND LET IT HAPPEN!!

Why?

In a word, WAR.

Bloody, destructive, power-grabbing, profit-making war.

ps what happened to the listening devices used on Kahn and Tanweer after they were deemed not to be a threat to national security? Is it possible they were left in place, still active or re-activated, and somebody from the intelligence services still listened in and heard every little detail of the plot to bomb London and not tell anyone until six minutes before the first bomb?

MI5 knew of bomber’s plan for holy war
David Leppard

BRITAIN’S top spies knew that the ringleader of the London bombers was planning to fight for Al-Qaeda more than a year before the July 7 suicide attacks, security sources have revealed.

MI5 bugged Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, a second bomber, for two months as they talked about Khan’s desire to fight in what he saw as the Islamic holy war.

Agents also listened in as the men talked between themselves about Khan’s plans to return to Pakistan where he had attended a camp for British terrorists. They also spoke about engaging in crime to raise money for Islamic extremism.


However, police and MI5 officers ruled that the two men were not an “immediate risk” and did not present a “direct threat” to national security.
