British Police find eight bags of fertilizer

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday March 30, 2004 14:29author by Hilal Report this post to the editors

-then transform it into a, "half -ton of explosives"

Early today Scotland Yard did a very unusual thing in calling a press conference after raids on "Islamic militants" , i.e. Muslims. They spoon-fed the media a story of finding "explosives" to justify the biggest ever operation of it's type against "terrorists" in British history .

The "Explosives" found were in fact nothing more than eight bags of 10-10-20 bagged fertilizer . It was all the British could find in all the homes and businesses they raided in an operation which was designed to boulster their propaganda against Muslims.

Eight young Muslims have been arrested in an attempt to make a story for the press.

“I must stress the threat from terrorism is very real and the public must remain watchful and alert”, said Scotland Yard deputy assistant commissioner Peter Clarke , the UK National Co-ordinator for Terrorism. This he said while assuring the public that, “We know the overwhelming majority of the Muslim community are law-abiding and completely reject all forms of violence." Just in case you forgot who you are supposed to hate and be afraid of.

The British police are set to continue such searches along with media propaganda, to round-up all Muslims who have been vocal in their criticism of Bush and Blair and their mass-murder.

Last week-end the British media ran with a story leaked from MI5, that a man arrested last year had revealed how there had been an Al Qaeda plan to bomb Heathrow airport, post 9-11, but that the bombing and mass murder in Afghanistan had prevented it because of disrupted communications with Al Qaeda leadership . Another bullshit story, both designed to increase Islamophobia and indeed justify the mass-murder in Afghanistan.

They are liars and murderers . Richard the Lionheart would be proud of them!
