Plot to behead a British Muslim soldier...

in Birmingham !! Whats going on ?

can't believe this stuff .. what has happened to British muslims ???

I always take this sort of news with a shed load of salt.

Anyone know who they worked for and what their cause was?

Amazing how Pakistans name gets dragged into all this.

These people are a product of the culture in Birmingham - not Pakistan !

main news over here...

apparently the spooks have been monitoring the suspects for 6 months...

talk of local imams imported from saudi and pakistan with extreme sermons in masjids... according to reports..dunno myself.

best to wait and see myself.

Apparently (not certain) all of them were pakistani kashmiri of origin..which is likely as majority of pakistani immigrants in the uk are of that origin according to stats and live mostly outside London.

yeah I dont get that part. Pieterson and Mahmood are Britishers eh! but the minute a brown dude blows up he becomes a Pakistani.

I only hope its not the same sort of thing as when the police arrested those 2 brothers and they were innocent.

hearsay and conjecture...once again the media has blown this out of proportion..same as the ricin plot, and forest gate..this will turn out to be another useless goose chase!!..theres no proof and until there is these lads are innocent..no matter what the nazi's at the daily mail think!

can we blame it on the indians then?

2 are released..

what was their arrest was all about then ?
I really feel for these kind of ppl who get arrest without doing anything and then been sent home without charge.
and they were have a close look on these guys for nearly 6 months before arrest ?

Dont know what to believe now ? Maybe we shouldnt believe ANYTHING !

I don't believe anything that the Western media says anymore...

Just noticed this thread. It's very reassuring to know these sort of people are living a mile away from your house. No suprise i saw Kingstanding as one of the locations. It's shocking for crime (usually by white people).

I smell bullSh!t

Have you noticed, everytime the government, in this case John Reid, is making headlines for the wrong reason, they divert our attention elsewhere!? Just another political stunt.

The police have nothing to do with the government, and dont you think the opposition i.e. David Cameron would latch on to this if it were true?

People should stop jumping to conclusions. This whole allegation along with the other bakwas about plots to blow up airliners using a bottle of water and a mobile phone stink of serious BS designed to scare the public.

All "politically correct" pakistanis seem to want to condemn everything - without even investigating whether the allegation is true or not.

Ah you've hit the nail on the head Naved, the western media rarely puts up level headed muslim moderates who do condemn everything, and resort to put up caricatures who think they represent rest of Muslim population, sit back and watch as they make fools of themselves, and rest of the community.

lo and behold 2 of them released without charge, their pictures and names all over the press. That's basically their lives ruined !

Tainted for life! 'Guilty' by association. Lets have a retracting headline from the gutter tabloid media tomorrow...I think not!

Five men have been charged with terrorism offences following last week's raids in Birmingham.
Nine men were arrested last Wednesday over what senior security sources say was an alleged plot to kidnap a member of the armed forces.

A 38-year-old man has been released without charge, and one remains in custody. Two others were released without charge earlier this week.

The five charged men will appear before Coventry magistrates later.

The five men, aged 29, 30, 31, 36 and 43, have been charged with offences under the Terrorism Act 2006 and the Terrorism Act 2000.

The 31-year-old and the 36-year-old face three charges each.

The other three men face two charges each.

West Midlands Police will reveal more details about the charges at a press conference later.

'Police state'

Police have until 0400 GMT on Saturday to interview the man who remains in custody.

On Thursday, Abu Bakr, one of those arrested, spoke out after he and another man were released without charge a day earlier.

Mr Bakr, who works in the Maktabah bookshop, targeted in the raids, told BBC News the UK was "a police state for Muslims".

Prime Minister Tony Blair later rejected the accusation as "categorically wrong".
