Maxito Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 BIRMINGHAM, England - Counterterrorism police arrested nine men in an alleged kidnapping plot Wednesday — a plan that reportedly involved torturing and beheading a British Muslim soldier and broadcasting the killing on the Internet. A ninth person was arrested just before police briefed reporters. The first group of arrests took place in the morning. “The threat of terrorism has been growing over the years,” David Shaw, of the West Midlands Police, said in announcing the arrest. Birmingham has been the site of several major terror raids in the past two years, including a plot uncovered in the summer that involved several suspects planning to use liquid explosives to blow up as many as 10 flights between Britain and the United States.

SkinsHokieFan Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wish these arrests were not broadcast so quickly The amount of intel that can be extracted is valuable, and the terrorists learn from their past mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
