SO EVIDENCE WAS WITHHELD FROM THE ISC! SHOCK! HORROR! :-()

The Sunday Times is reporting that evidence indicating that Mohammed Sidique Kahn was more of a potential threat than was previously thought has been withheld from the Intelligence and Security Committee during their inquiry into 7/7. This should come as no surprise. The list of witnesses in Annex A of the ISC report reads like a who's who of the gimps who lied to us about Iraq and took us in there on a false pretext.

There is a follow-up article by David Leppard which goes into the withheld evidence in more detail, and it is very damaging. According to the Leppard article
THE CLUES THAT MI5 MISSED AND THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS


Mohammad Sidique Khan led the 7/7 bombers. His phone number was logged by MI5 in 2003 after he was contacted by a known terror suspect already being monitored by the security services. The two men talked about arranging meetings but this was never followed up. Why?

The following year Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, another 7/7 bomber, were bugged over a number of months by MI5 talking about a separate alleged plot to blow up targets in the UK. One of the bugs was placed in a car Khan was driving, yet MI5 says it did not have the “resources” to identify either man. Is this credible? [TTM: er, did it not have a number plate? And if the car was bugged I would guess it was being tracked too.]

Khan and Tanweer visited terror training camps in Pakistan in 2003 and 2004. Their trips were not monitored, say the security services, despite the war on terror being in full flow. Why did MI6, which has substantial resources in Islamabad, fail to pick them up? Why were they not clocked at British ports? [TTM: I would guess they were but were allowed to go on with their terrorist business.]


In the months before the bombings MI5 took a greater interest in Khan for reasons not properly explained. It admits it showed surveillance photos of him to foreign intelligence services and terrorist prisoners in detention centres around the world. Why was MI5 suddenly so interested in Khan? [TTM: to get an idea as to how well known Kahn was before he was allowed to bomb London so that many people wouldn't say, "oh yeah, everybody knew Kahn was a terrorist".]


The telephone number of a third bomber, Germaine Lindsay, was also on MI5 files long before the attacks. This had previously been denied. Lindsay’s Fiat car was linked to a burglary in May 2005, in which a handgun was involved. Lindsay was shown on the police computer as the registered owner, but police inquiries at the time failed to track the car. Why? [TTM: Again, to allow the plot to evolve and happen]


The security services had been monitoring a suspected Islamic fundamentalist in the Beeston area of Leeds that the bombers came from only a year or so before the attacks. He worked in the same extremist bookshop the bombers frequented and he knew them. Why was this not mentioned in the Home Office account last week? [TTM : because this, along with the other evidence, would indicate not incompetence but complicity]



The flat where the bombs were made was sublet to the bombers just a few weeks before the attack. The man who gave them the keys is an Egyptian with a PhD in biochemistry. He left for Cairo eight days before the bombings. Last week he said he was entirely innocent of any involvement. He also confirmed the British authorities have never sought to interview him. Why? [TTM: perhaps he is not innocent and British authorities know this]

As explained a few days ago, the point is to create terror. Synthetic terror to control us. But the terror that does occur needs to be of the correct size; too big/much and there is absolutely no way a public inquiry can be avoided and light shone into the shadows, while too small/little then the effect of the terror/trauma is not worth the risk. I would say about 50 dead and hundreds more injured is in the 'possibly too big but just about acceptable' scale. 7/7 was the biggest terrorist attack on mainland Britain.

But again, look at how 7/7 was used. The politicians and security services were crying out for torture and 90 day detention!

I cannot see how MI5 can be this incompetent. They claim 'lack of resources' but they've had extra millions and millions thrown at them, as reported in the ISC's annual reports, besides the usual budget (which was not completely used up). But what Leppard shows is that Kahn and Tanweer were bugged talking of a bomb plot! Kahn and Tanweer were under surveillance for months and extensively photographed. You don't spend months putting someone under surveillance unless they are a serious threat, particularly as MI5 claim 'lack of resources' and the manpower for a such surveillance is substantial, as stated in the ISC report. But what other modes of surveillance were used? Were all emails and phones logged? Were bugs/cameras placed in their places of residence? Were these still active in the period before 7/7? But more importantly, who were the case officers?

Personally I don't believe the official story. The government 'has form'. 7/7 was a LIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose) for one reason; Police State.
