Taliban begin crackdown on Pakistan-linked militants operating from Afghanistan: Express Tribune

2025-05-27

[KhaamaPress] The Taliban
Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
have started cracking down on hard boyz in Afghanistan who encourage attacks in Pakistain, signaling a shift in policy.
Rewriting 1998
Recent closed-door talks between a Pak delegation led by Muhammad Sadiq Khan, Pakistain’s Special Representative, and Amir Khan Muttaqi, Taliban Foreign Minister, marked a significant shift in Taliban policy. For the first time since their return to power, the Taliban have begun cracking down on individuals encouraging attacks inside Pakistain.

According to Express Tribune sources, over 70 murderous Moslems, primarily Afghan nationals linked to plans following the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, have been detained, earning Islamabad’s tentative trust.

China is believed to be playing a crucial behind-the-scenes role in facilitating dialogue between Pakistain and Afghanistan. On May 21, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted an informal trilateral meeting with the foreign ministers of Pakistain and Afghanistan in Beijing. The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that Pakistain and Afghanistan agreed in principle to exchange ambassadors, signaling a normalization of diplomatic ties.

For years, Pakistain struggled to convince the Taliban to take decisive action against terrorist groups operating from Afghanistan soil. However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
during the March talks in Kabul, Pak officials, including military and intelligence representatives, sensed a genuine change in Taliban approach. Islamabad now believes the Taliban are primarily focused on "business" and appear serious about addressing Pakistain’s security concerns.

Sources confirmed that many Afghans under Taliban rule who were recruiting or supporting Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) hard boyz are now imprisoned and facing legal actions. These developments followed growing evidence presented by Islamabad showing increased involvement of Afghan nationals in TTP-backed attacks within Pakistain, which heightened tensions and prompted Islamabad’s demands for accountability.

Since the crackdown began, Pakistain has witnessed a noticeable drop in suicide kabooms and terrorist attacks, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. These efforts have helped improve diplomatic relations between Pakistain and the Taliban government. The positive momentum paved the way for Pakistain’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Muhammad Ishaq Dar, to visit Kabul on April 19—the first such high-level Pak visit since the Taliban takeover.

Both sides agreed on several confidence-building measures during the visit, including Taliban assurances not to allow Afghanistan soil to be used against Pakistain. Pakistain reciprocated by easing some trade restrictions, such as removing banking guarantee requirements for Afghan importers. Islamabad has expressed cautious optimism but insists the Taliban take irreversible steps toward lasting peace.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had thought to pack sun block...
India continues to emphasize expanding ties with the Taliban, despite its tense relationship with Pakistain. Following the April 22 Pahalgam incident and subsequent cross-border exchanges with Pakistain, India recently resumed visa issuance to Afghan citizens after a four-year hiatus. New Delhi insists it will not allow Pakistain to hinder its relations with the Taliban, intensifying the regional diplomatic competition.

Pakistain has previously accused India of involvement in terrorist attacks on its soil, including in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, though Indian officials deny such claims. The evolving dynamics between Pakistain, Afghanistan, India, and China highlight the complex geopolitical contest shaping South Asia’s security landscape.

Leaflets in London: ‘Every Zionist Needs to Leave Britain or Be Slaughtered’

2024-12-01

[PJMedia] GB News reported Wednesday that "leaflets with the writing ’every Zionist needs to leave Britannia or be slaughtered’ were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London." The message itself was bad enough, but the fact that it has gotten so little attention was a disquieting indication of how much antisemitism has already become normalized amidst the left’s relentless propaganda campaign to isolate and demonize Israel after the Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.

If any other group had been targeted with the threat to leave any country or face mass slaughter, the headlines would have been international and insistent. But this? Hatred of Jews, not just of Zionists, has become a dispiritingly common feature of the contemporary landscape.

GB News noted also that "the threatening message was written in Hebrew," just in case any of its targets might not have understood it in English, and that as if that weren’t enough, the leaflet added, this time in English, "Zionist Free Zone." It also said: "Ha, made you pick up litter you zianazi [sic] freak." Clever!
Sounds like ACA JOE is on vacation
This could have been the handiwork either of leftist ideologues who are determined to destroy the Jewish state because, in its irreducible particularity, it interferes with their collectivist, internationalist vision. It could also have been the work of Moslems, who make up a considerable and growing population in London, and many of whom believe, in accord with the Qur’an, that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Moslems (5:82) and that Moslems have a divine responsibility to drive them out of land that was once ruled by Moslems and therefore must be ruled by Islamic law forever (2:191).

Isaaz Zarfati, the Executive Director of Stand With Us UK, took note of the prevailing winds and said: "We are witnessing a troubling trend of red lines being repeatedly crossed. This is not just another wave that will pass if we remain passive." Indeed. "We must take those threats and statements seriously," Zarfati added, "because they will one day turn into actions, and decisive steps are needed to combat this alarming phenomenon."

That’s right. If the government of London Mayor Sadiq Khan doesn’t take decisive action, and identify and prosecute those who are behind these threats, the perpetrators will only be encouraged and will continue and escalate their activities. This is clear from the fact that just last month, right before the beginning of Yom Kippur, the Hendon Golf Club, which is in the same neighborhood where the mass murder threats were found, was likewise targeted. "Raked into bunkers on the golf course" were National Socialist symbols and messages including "F*** the Jews" and "Heil Hitler
Hitler

...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days, sometimes every few hour if it's an election year, as a politician somebody doesn't like...
At that time, Khan stated: "I’m sickened by the rise in antisemitism in our city. Hate crime is a criminal offence and has no place in London. I’ll continue to work with the police and community representatives to tackle antisemitism and support those affected by such abhorrent abuse." Those were the right words to say, but actually, little was done. Khan also has a long history of coddling jihadis, going back to the days when he acted as their defense attorney, and demonstrating a notable lack of sympathy for Israel as it defends itself from the jihadi onslaught.

On Oct. 13, 2023, just six days after Hamas jihadis murdered 1,200 Israelis, Khan said: "I’ve spoken to Londoners who lost family members in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and Londoners who’ve lost family as a consequence of the Hamas terrorist attack last weekend, so we’re feeling the pain here." Political analyst Hugh Fitzgerald noted that "Khan refers first to the Paleostinians who died in Gaza (the family members ’lost’ by Londoners), and only after that, in a tortuous locution, he refers to ’Londoners who’ve lost family as a consequence of the Hamas terrorist attack last weekend.’ No. Say it straight, Sadiq: ’Londoners whose family members were murdered by Hamas.’" But he never did.

And so the Evening Standard reported in March 2024 that "growing numbers of Jewish families are considering leaving London — fleeing, really — in the face of this rising tide of hostility and hatred. Some have already departed. If you are shocked, you’ve not been paying attention. A report last month by the Community Security Trust found there were 4,103 incidents of anti-Jewish hate in the UK last year, a 147 percent rise on 2022. The peak occurred in the week after October 7, suggesting that for many it was a celebration of the Hamas massacre."

Eight months later, there are open threats in Sadiq Khan’s London to slaughter Jews. Will he act now?

Bus Service To Help Jewish Londoners Feel Safe

2024-09-05

[MSN-BBC] The mayor of London has launched a trial bus route in north London to help Jewish Londoners feel "safe when they travel".

Feel safe, sure. Actually being safe is a different question.

The 310 bus runs every 20 minutes between Stamford Hill in Hackney and Golders Green in Barnet.

It was launched in response to longstanding requests from the Jewish community for a service connecting the neighbourhoods, the mayor's office said.

Sadiq Khan said that creating the route, which operates from 07:00 to 19:00 daily, was one of his re-election pledges.

'MASSIVE INCREASE OF ANTISEMITISM'
Mr Khan told BBC London: "For 16 years now the Jewish communities in Stamford Hill and Golders Green have been lobbying for a direct link between those two communities.

"I was struck by the conversations I've had in recent months with the Jewish community.

"They were frightened because of a massive increase of antisemitism since October 7 last year.

"I was told stories by families who, where they changed buses from Stamford Hill to Golders Green at Finsbury Park, they were frightened about the abuse they had received."

The Met Police recorded 2,065 antisemitic hate crime incidents between October and July.

Of the 2,065 reports, 390 took place in Barnet, 277 in Westminster, 250 in Hackney and 190 in Camden.

Mr Khan said the new bus route "connects communities, connects congregations" and would reassure Jewish Londoners they would be "safe when they travel between these two communities".

"We have heard stories of Jewish Londoners receiving verbal abuse," Mr Khan added.

"We've also heard stories about Jewish Londoners not leaving their homes... because they're worried about their safety.

"I don't want any Londoner to be scared to leave their home because they're worried about public transport.

"I think we've got to recognise the fear that Londoners feel who are Jewish, we've got to recognise the tremors of hate that are felt by Jewish people across the country.

"We've got to be good allies to our Jewish friends and neighbours."

Antisemitic hate crimes rose by 278.9% in the 12 months to July compared with the preceding year, according to Met Police data.

Islamophobic hate crimes rose by 64.7% in the 12 months ending July 2024, compared to the year before. The force recorded 1,370 Islamophobic hate crime incidents between October and July.

Five people stabbed on second day of London carnival

2024-08-28

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Nothing like a mass stabbing by unwanted guests to get the celebratory spirit right.
[Regnum] Five people were stabbed on the final day of the Afro-Caribbean culture carnival in London's Notting Hill. Scotland Yard police provided details.

It is noted that the condition of two victims is assessed as critical.

The condition of the 32-year-old woman who was stabbed remains serious. She came to the carnival with a small child.

In total, eight people were stabbed during the two days of the carnival. The police also recorded two cases of slash wounds, which are not classified as knife wounds, and one case of acid use.

Over the course of two days, 320 people were detained, many of whom had weapons and drugs. A total of 50 police officers were injured.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, at least 90 people were arrested on the first day of the Caribbean Carnival in London, three people were injured.

The Caribbean Carnival has been held regularly since 1966 on the last Monday of August, with celebrations starting on Sunday. The founder of the carnival is Rowan Laslett. Initially, the main idea of the carnival was to unite the local multi-ethnic community in order to end racial conflicts. However, for many years, Londoners have associated the carnival with crime, alcohol and drug use, mountains of garbage and increased noise levels.

On July 29, a young man attacked students at a dance school in Southport with a knife. As a result, two children died and nine more were hospitalized. A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of the attack.

Protesters demand elections as hostage families seethe: ‘You could have saved them’

[IsraelTimes] Weekly Hostages Square rally highlights 6 captives whose bodies were recovered from Gaza, as Netanyahu is accused of thwarting talks in Egypt; 3 protesters said detained in Jerusalem

Thousands of Israelis erupted into the streets across the country Saturday to demand new elections as hostages’ families held their weekly rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, where they excoriated the government for failing to save six captives whose bodies were retrieved from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

earlier this week.

A group representing people detained in anti-government demonstrations said three protesters were arrested in Jerusalem.

Titled "You Could Have Saved Them," this week’s Hostages Square rally featured Ayala Metzger, daughter-in-law of Yoram Metzger, one of the six whose bodies were recovered overnight Monday-Tuesday, and Eyal Mor, whose uncle Avraham Munder’s body was another one of those retrieved.

Also featured were Aviva Siegel, whom Hamas

released in November and whose husband Keith remains in captivity; Michael Levy, brother of hostage Or Levy; and Gil Dickmann, cousin of hostage Carmel Gat.

The speakers called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sign a hostage and ceasefire deal.

Netanyahu’s insistence on Israel remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor, which separates Gaza from Egypt, in order to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza, has reportedly hindered the talks, after the demand was absent from a previous Israeli proposal.

"This isn’t the Philadelphi Corridor, it’s the Philadelphi spin," said Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker and a leading anti-government figure among the hostage families. The premier is "systematically thwarting the deal" with his eleventh-hour demands, she claimed.

Zangauker was speaking outside the military headquarters in Tel Aviv, where hostage families openly critical of the government hold a weekly presser ahead of the nearby Kaplan Street demonstration.

Other anti-government rallies were held in Haifa, Ness Ziona and outside Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea, among others. A left-wing, binational rally was also held earlier in the day in the central Arab town of Taibe.

Earlier Saturday, the Peace Partnership — a coalition of leftist groups that coalesced after October 7 — and Hadash, a Jewish-Arab communist Knesset party, held a protest against the war in Gaza, preceded by a conference featuring "testimonies on the war and the unspoken horrors, with people and groups that were there."

Protesters held signs calling for the establishment of a Paleostinian state.

Keir Starmer's Labour Party will prevail in landslide victory

2024-07-05

[NYPOST] Britannia’s left-wing Labour Party was poised Thursday for a landslide victory over the ruling Conservative Party after 14 years out of power.

According to an exit poll commissioned by all three major UK broadcasters and released as soon as the polls closed at 10 p.m., Labour was set to win 410 seats in the 650-member House of Commons, a majority of 170.

The result means that Keir Starmer,

Weekly rallies urging elections, hostage deal held amid elation over rescue op; police tie up 33 miscreants in Tel Aviv

[IsraelTimes] Families forum pledges to continue pushing ‘Netanyahu deal’ for release of hostages as part of ceasefire, says government has duty to bring Israelis ‘happiness, joy and closure’

Perhaps Hamas will be ready to accept a ceasefire once three quarters of them are dead, rather than only half.

’s Nuseirat camp.

News of the daring rescue mission led war cabinet member Benny Gantz to cancel a news conference scheduled for Saturday night, at which he was expected to announce he was leaving the government. The developments came amid uncertainty as to the fate of an Israeli proposal for a hostage-for-ceasefire deal that United States President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’...
presented last week.

Hamas has yet to formally respond to the proposal, though officials in the terror group have reiterated their insistence that any agreement must guarantee an end to the war, a demand Israel has repeatedly ruled out.

The Hostages and Families Forum has dubbed the proposal "the Netanyahu deal," in an effort to shore up support for it.

"The happiness, bliss and closure are the government’s duty toward its citizens," the group wrote on X after news of the hostages’ rescue.

Utter nonsense. The duty of government toward its citizens is to provide an even playing field where the same laws bind all, and secure borders. Bliss and closure result from individual efforts and achievements.

"They must promote the approval of the Netanyahu deal as soon as this week!"

If Hamas will not agree, there is no point to the Israeli government doing so.

The forum held its weekly rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. Anti-government protest groups clamoring for new elections assembled nearby, outside the Kirya military headquarters’ southern entrance on Kaplan Street.

The demonstrations in Tel Aviv were complemented by related protests in other parts of the country, including in front of the Herzliya home of war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot, the No. 2 in Gantz’s National Unity party.

Gantz threatened last month to quit the government by June 8 if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to present an agreed-upon post-war plan for Gaza’s governance.

Along with the weekly demonstrations, the Peace Partnership held a rally in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square calling to "stop the war as the occupation marks its 57th year," referring to Israel’s capture during the 1967 Six Day War of areas the Paleostinians claim for a future state. An organizer from the group — a coalition of some two dozen left-wing organizations — said Friday that the police did not authorize the protest, though the police website showed that approval was granted on Friday.

Police say 33 arrested as Tel Aviv protesters tried to block road; all routes now open

[IsraelTimes] Police say that 33 protesters were arrested during demonstrations in Tel Aviv this evening calling for new elections and the return of the remaining hostages held in captivity in Gazoo, hours after the military announced that four hostages were rescued alive from central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp.

The police statement adds that all roads near the protest have now been opened to traffic.

It says that while most demonstrators attended the preapproved rally and then dispersed, some stayed and marched along Begin and Kaplan roads, "while trying to block a traffic route.

"Police forces at the scene dispersed the protesters from the road, while employing riot control methods and arresting disrupters of public order," the statement added.

WATCH: 25 Arrested as Mass Street Brawl Breaks Out in Sheffield

2024-05-27

[Breitbart] Police arrested 25 people after a mass brawl broke out in broad daylight on the streets of Sheffield in northern England on Saturday.

South Yorkshire Police said on Sunday that 22 people were hospitalised, ten of whom with serious injuries after a violent brawl broke out at around 2 pm on Saturday on Woodbourn Road in Sheffield.

Footage purporting to have captured the incident posted on social media appeared to show two people being brutally beaten while lying on the ground. Dozens of men were seen in the footage, many of whom were wearing hooded sweatshirts and carrying weapons some of which appeared to be machetes.

Sounds like colonists, probably Moslem, to me. No doubt we’ll never know.

In total, 25 people were arrested on suspicion of multiple violent disorder offences and a number of weapons were recovered from the scene. So far, police have not revealed the motivation for the fight.

UK jails asylum seeker for random murder in ‘revenge’ for Israeli response to Oct. 7

2024-05-18

[IsraelTimes] Judge says Moroccan national killed 70-year-old man in ‘a terrorist act’ meant ‘to frighten the people of Britain and undermine the freedoms they enjoy’

A Moroccan asylum seeker on Friday was sentenced to life in prison for randomly stabbing a British man to death in revenge for Israel’s military response to the October 7 onslaught.

Ahmed Alid, 45, murdered victim Terence Carney, 70, in the streets of the northeastern English town of Hartlepool, eight days after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel last October.

Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb told Alid he had “attacked and murdered… in a terrorist act,” and said he would spend a minimum of 44 years behind bars.

She said he had “hoped to frighten the people of Britain and undermine the freedoms they enjoy” in actions “intended as revenge” for Israel’s response to the Hamas attack, in which terrorists killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 252 hostages into Gaza.

“You intended it as revenge for the actions of a foreign country, Israel, and to intimidate and influence the British government in its international relations.”

Minutes before killing Carney, Alid had also attempted to murder his housemate, Christian convert Javed Nouri, by breaking into his bedroom and hacking at him while he slept.

Alid shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”) during the attack at the government-approved asylum seekers’ accommodation before fleeing into the street, still armed with a knife.

That attack on Nouri had been “an attempt to punish him for converting to Christianity,” the judge said, adding that he had shown “no genuine remorse or pity” for his victims.

Alid admitted to police that Carney was “innocent” but justified killing him by saying Britain had created the “Zionist entity” of Israel and should make them leave, adding: “They killed children and I killed an old man.”

He had denied murder, attempted murder and assaulting two police officers.

He was unanimously found guilty of all four charges by a jury at Teesside Crown Court in Middlesbrough last month.

In a victim impact statement, the victim’s wife Patricia Carney said she could no longer go into town because it was “too painful” to be near the spot where her husband was murdered.

Nouri said the attack had destroyed his sense of safety.

“I would expect to be arrested and killed in my home country for converting to Christianity but I did not expect to be attacked in my sleep here,” his statement said. “How is it possible for someone to destroy someone’s life because of his religion?”

The Daily Mail has the usual photos, adding:

In the days following the October 7 attack by Hamas
Hamas

..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
, Morocco-born Ahmed Alid, 45, became increasingly agitated, 'laughing and praising God' as the news of each atrocity was reported.

Eight days after Hamas attacked Israel, he launched a ferocious knife attack on Javed Nouri, a housemate in a four bed asylum hostel, who he hated because he had converted to Christianity.

After Mr Nouri fought off his attacker, Alid grabbed a kitchen knife with a 20 inch blade and ran into the streets in the early hours of the morning where he encountered Terrence Carney, 70, and, shouting Alluha Akbar, stabbed him six times causing fatal injuries.

Alid, from Fez, Morocco, came to the UK to seek asylum after drifting around Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
for more than a decade, finding a home in Hartlepool, Durham.

He could offer no explanation as to why he was claiming asylum, other than security services were 'harassing ' him at the shop he ran in the popular tourist city.

His housemate, Iranian asylum seeker Javed Nouri, reported Alid to police and Home Office housing managers on October 9 and 13 - revealing how he would sit in the kitchen with a knife and give him 'bad looks' following his conversion to Christianity. Mr Nouri was told no further action would be taken as Alid had not committed an offence.

Mr Nouri also described seeing Alid laughing at coverage of the October 7 attacks but was told by police there was nothing they could do unless he was carrying the knife around the house or using it to threaten people.

Two days after sharing his concerns, Nouri was woken at 5am to find Alid breaking into his bedroom brandishing two kitchen knives. The attacker stabbed him in the chest and face before he and another housemate were able to fight him off.

In a police interview following his arrest, Alid attacked two female officers, yelling 'Paleostine' and 'Allahuakbar' [god is great] as he grabbed one of them and wrestled her to the ground, causing his solicitor to dial 999.

Asked if he intended to kill more people, Alid said: 'I swear by Allah if I had a machine gun and I had more weapons that they would be in thousands.

'I was going to contact someone to get me a machine gun and I would have done more and then that person told me to carry on with the knife.'

He told the officers if it had not been for the wounds to his hands from the knife, he would have continued the killing.

The court heard Alid, a former pastry chef, had travelled from Morocco to Spain in 2007.

He spent just days or weeks in some countries, but stayed for years in Germany - where he was briefly incarcerated
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
for entering the country without a passport or visa - but never achieved his aim of opening a shop. The terrorist tried to marry a German woman but had lost his passport in Greece, he told the court, so the marriage could not go through.

He claimed asylum and spent the next three years living in a hotel in Hull and then state-funded accommodation in a terraced house in Hartlepool, waiting for his claim to be processed. While his asylum status was still being processed he was permitted to work four hours a week, but that did not lead to him getting a job and he was often seen jogging around Hartlepool to keep fit.

The devout Moslem, who prayed five times a day and attended communal prayer at a mosque, clashed with his housemates over religion.

Two men accused in UK of plotting ISIS-style machine gun terror attack on Jews

2024-05-15

[IsraelTimes] Court told the two planned to gun down Jews in Manchester; chief rabbi says news ‘harrowing’; police say they believe there is ‘no longer a wider risk to the public’

Two men accused of plotting to gun down Jews in an Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
-inspired attack in northwest England were held without bail Tuesday after appearing in a London court.

Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, were accused of planning to use machine guns to kill Jews, police and military personnel, prosecutors said in Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The duo face charges of preparing terrorist acts between December 13 and May 9.

A third man, Bilel Saadaoui, 35, was accused of making arrangements for the expected death of his brother, co-defendant Walid Saadaoui.

He pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
to a charge of failing to disclose information about an act of terrorism.

Defense lawyer Angelo Saponiere said Bilel Saadaoui was a family man unaware of the alleged plot.

The three were arrested last week by Greater Manchester Police. They were held without bail and are scheduled to appear May 24 for a hearing in the Central Criminal Court.

The Daily Mail has photos of Mr. Saadaoui and his home, adding:

This is the 35-year-old terror suspect arrested over a failure to disclose an alleged Isis-inspired plot to murder Jewish people in a machine gun attack.

Bilel Saadaoui has appeared in court alongside two other men after a series of raids in north-west England.

Saadaoui, from Hindley in Wigan, is charged with failure to disclose information about an act of terrorism after allegedly taking receipt of his brother's will and the key to a safe containing £75,000.

His older brother, Tunisian-born Walid Saadaoui, 36, from Abram in Wigan, was also arrested along with Amar Hussein, 50, and those two have been charged with preparation of terrorist acts.

Walid Saadaoui and Hussein had 'intended causing multiple fatalities using automatic weapons' while also targeting 'law enforcement and military', it was alleged.
