Beeb’s Alert on Bombs (BBC Targeted? WTF?)
2004-03-18
SECURITY bosses fear al-Qaeda are plotting to attack the BBC.
Biting the hand that feeds them.
An alert was sparked when a Moroccan posing as a newspaper photographer was seen taking pictures of the TV Centre in White City, West London. When he was challenged, he gave false details — and fled in a car driven by another Arabic looking man.
Probably just tourists desperate for some good chow.
Security has been stepped up at all BBC buildings since the incident on Sunday.
Special Branch, foxes guarding the chicken house.
On the same day, two more Arabs asked reception staff at the TV Centre for a tour of the premises — and for details about the building’s lay-out.
ARABS!! They actually used the word, racist infidel dogs! How do they know it wasn’t some of those notorious British Mexican Methodist terrrorists?
A BBC insider said: “We are on a state of alert. Security is tight and these incidents have made people nervous.”
5000 nervous twits made more nervous? The floors must be buzzing.
A security source said: “The BBC is considered a prime target for terrorists because of the publicity it would generate worldwide.”
"EET ees nezezzary to shoot a dhimmi now and again, pour encourager les outres."
Actually, it makes sense for AQ to go after the BBC. Such an attack would play to a couple of common themes among the appeasement lobby: victimization and the need to blame those who oppose terrorism rather than the perpetrators. Surviving Beeb-dhimmis would pull out all stops to portray themselves as victims of Bush’s policies. The predictability of their response invites attack. Like jihadism, the LLL media culture is a suicide cult.
