QUESTIONS ON MOHAMMED SIDDIQUE KAHN AND HIS NETWORK

MI5 are trying desperately to cover their arses over 7/7. They've received some help from the lapdog Intelligence and Security Committee who cleared them from blame for 7/7. They are now publicly answering the ISC's question of why MI5 did not investigate Kahn further. MI5's reply is that they had other more important tasks.

This morning I awoke to BBC News 24 reporting this pathetic excuse. It made no mention of the damning information recieved from Saudi Arabia. But it did show a board with blanked out pictures of, I assume, faces. The pictures seemed to be giving the impression that they were all linked in some kind of network. MI5 say that Kahn was of interest but resources were low at the time and so they marked Kahn down for further investgation later. Now, this network on BBC News 24 showed Kahn as a peripheral figure, which is why, I assume, he was labelled as IC2 (I think this is the phrase Crispin Black used, but I may be wrong).

OK. So there's Kahn, considered unimportant, on the periphery of this network.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF THE NETWORK??

I have no idea when this network was drawn up. But The Sunday Times reported that MI5 had run out leads in their investigation. And yet the BBC are showing a network of assumed terrorists, and it appeared to be quite a large network, with Kahn on the periphery.

I've not slept well this week, and I've quite an important interview today to think about, but this does not make full sense to me at the moment.

Was the network quickly made up to show Kahn as a peripheral figure so that when some bumbling BBC reporter films it it looks like Kahn was indeed considered a peripheral figure?

Does the network exist at all? If so, why has it not been busted? And if it was busted why was it not plastered all over the news? Is the network now under surveillance? If so hasn't the BBC just blown a potentially very important investigation?

These are initial, 6am-after-a-crap-sleep thoughts.

I'd appreciate some input from anyone who saw this newsclip on BBC 24 News this morning.
