Saudi man 'key suspect' in jet bomb plot, says US


www.bbc.co.uk

US officials have suggested a Saudi bombmaker is the key suspect in last week's attempt to send two parcel bombs from Yemen to the US on cargo planes.

They named the man as Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who is said to be the main bombmaker for al-Qaeda's Yemeni branch.

It has emerged that one of the bombs was carried on two passenger planes before being seized in Dubai.

A Yemeni woman suspected of sending the bombs has been freed. She said she was the victim of identity theft.

Bomb plot shows growing creativeness and ambition

The last source/report reads like a pat on the back for the 'bomb maker' when you get to the Creativeness and ambition section.

Also now if looks like they will be more restrictions at airports...

The prime minister is due to chair a meeting of the government's emergency planning committee Cobra, as calls grow for a full review of airport security.

UK emergency committee to discuss air cargo security

It was only one day before this 'Event' there was talk of the intention to relax the airport sercurity...

Philip Hammond was responding to senior figures in the airline industry who had backed BA chairman Martin Broughton's attack on measures imposed by the US. Mr Broughton said many of the checks were "completely redundant". Mr Hammond said he would be allowing airlines to look at ways of "easing the passenger experience". Mr Broughton had criticised the US for imposing increased checks on US-bound flights but not on its own domestic services, saying the UK should stop "kowtowing" to US security demands. He said practices such as forcing passengers to take off their shoes should be abandoned, and questioned why laptop computers needed to be screened separately

Minister may allow changes to UK air security checks

Is it just a coincidence that this was aired then 1 DAY later, suspect device was found at UK airport?
Hmm some seems alittle fishy.

Why, oh why, is the man's country of origin an issue? It just strikes odd to me that whenever a middle eastern man is involved with ANYTHING, his location of birth will be plastered over the news.

It's as if the government is desperately trying to get the public behind further conflicts and wars in the middle east .... because, OMG!! A TERRORIST MAN IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!! THEY ALL MUST BE TERRORISTS!!!!!!1!11!!!

The BBC is discussing the possibility of military aid to Yemen, but one correspondent says that US officials are considering “moving the operation to a CIA-basis”, utilising their Paramilitary Operations Officers, basically.

Now it’s bad enough that the US/CIA have an overt paramilitary force about which a ridiculous amount of information is available (deterrence-based no doubt), but for Government officials to openly discuss the possibility of using these men is just ludicrous. And people wonder why the US Government has so much trouble keeping their secrets secret.

Hmm the word of this seems to be getting around...I've seen two threads pop up already about this false flag operation, one here: Governments review air security after Yemen plot and the other here: Cargo plane bomb plot: Cobra review 'could lead to new security measures

Looks like the Hundredth Monkey Effect/Syndrome is kicking in

Really, no way, I have never noticed this, you may be on to something here. Are you saying that perhaps their is an AGENDA in play that is trying to force upon the masses that whenever we see middleeastern folk we automatically think terrorist? wow, now theres a thought.

Thanks for imbeding the YouTube video, here's some more evidence that a bomb threat would soon be pinned on him/them...

Security and intelligence experts are deeply worried by a new development in suicide bombing, the BBC has learned. It has emerged that an al-Qaeda bomber who died last month while trying to blow up a Saudi prince in Jeddah had hidden the explosives inside his body. Only the attacker died, but it is feared that the new development could be copied by others. Experts say it could have implications for airport security, rendering traditional metal detectors "useless".


The explosives, they believe, were detonated by mobile phone.


The bomber was a Saudi al-Qaeda fugitive who said he wanted to give himself up to the prince in person.

Sounds like a way to further justify those stupid scanner things.
