TERRORISM WARNINGS GIVEN TO BRITISH INTELLIGENCE

Following the debacle of the trial of Abu Hamza and the subsequent questions of "why the hell did it take so long to cage him" coming from The Sun et al, here is an article that probes warnings of terrorism given to British Intelligence.

Hamza was going to be tried in 1999, but apprently there was not enough evidence (though I heard that he was convicted this time on basically the same evidence). Hamza was based at Finsbury Park Mosque, where he interacted with Abu Qatada. Shortly after 9/11 Qatada was whisked away to a safe house by British Intelligence and offered all sorts of incentives to leave for Afghanistan. Qatada had quite a close relationship with MI5, as did Hamza as given in his testimony.

The following article states that
A statement issued in August 2005 by Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi ambassador to the UK, confirmed, “There was certainly close liaison between the Saudi Arabian intelligence authorities and the British intelligence authorities some months ago when information was passed to Britain about a heightened terrorist threat to London.”

The Saudi intelligence is said to be based on information obtained from intercepted mobile phone calls from Kareem al-Majati, named as one of Al Qaeda’s leaders in the region, to Mohammed Siddiqui Kahn, who headed the four-man terrorist cell that detonated the London bombs.

According to the Observer, a Saudi official said, “It was clear to us that there was a terror group planning an attack in the UK. We passed all this information on to both MI5 and MI6 at the time. We are now investigating whether these calls were directly to the London bombers. It is our conclusion that either these were linked, or that a completely different terror network is still at large in Britain.”

A few weeks ago The Sunday Times reported leaks that Kahn had been under surveillance for a month but, despite being heard talking of Jihad and committing fraud to fund terrorism and having returned from a known terrorist training camp, he was not deemed a threat to national security. The Saudi intelligence hints that Kahn was in contact with a known al-Qaeda leader and that MI5 was informed of this.

So this begs the question, was the investigation into Kahn reopened? If not, why not?

It has been clear to many nations besides ours that London has been a centre for Islamic terrorism, hence the name Londonistan.

MI5 can offer the excuse for keeping the likes of Hamza on our streets because they can watch what he is doing and who contacts him, which could lead to other networks etc.

This looks more and more like 7/7 was allowed to happen.

Kahn was heard talking of joining in Jihad
Saudis tell MI5 Kahn is talking to an al-Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia about a bomb plot on London Underground.

So what happened?

A second leak in The Sunday Times reported that MI5 have run out of leads in their 7/7 investigation and don't know what to do! But they continue to terrorise us with further warnings of terrorist attacks.

Yeah, they know they're coming because they're listening in and allowing it to happen.

I am not accusing the whole of MI5, just a clique within, a rotten core.

Saudi Arabia alerted Britain of terror attack prior to London bombings
By Richard Tyler
8 February 2006

According to US intelligence sources, British officials received a credible warning months before the July 2005 London bombings, which killed 52 people.

An article in the February 5 Observer cites senior White House sources confirming that very specific information issued by Saudi intelligence authorities in early 2005 was passed on to Britain. Saudi intelligence reported that there was a bomb plot involving four Islamic militants, some of whom would be British citizens. The bombers could target the London Underground within the next six months.
