Daily Mail 22nd August 2008
Three Muslim men seized in terror raids are being questioned over threats to kill the Prime Minister, it emerged tonight.
The trio, two of whom were about to catch a flight out of the country, were held after they were linked to threats to assassinate Gordon Brown and his predecessor, Tony Blair.
Anti-terror teams have been investigating the warnings made on a recognised jihadi website since they were posted in January by a group calling itself 'Al Qaeda in Britain'.
The statement also demanded the withdrawal of British forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and the release of Muslim prisoners from Belmarsh high-security prison in London.
Two of the men, believed to be brothers, were arrested last Thursday evening as they attempted to board a flight from Manchester Airport to Finland.
Counter-terrorist officers have travelled to Scandinavia as they continue their investigations.
The pair lived in Blackburn, Lancashire, where Justice Secretary Jack Straw is the local MP. A third man was arrested at a warehouse where he worked in nearby Accrington.
Earlier this week police were given an extra seven days to question the trio, but their suspected connection with the threats to kill Mr Brown and Mr Blair only emerged today.
The assassination threat and demands for a British withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan appeared on an extremist Islamic website, but police sources have stressed that no actual plot is thought to have been in place.
Security services routinely monitor many websites claiming allegiance to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden and hosting warnings and threats to political leaders in the UK and the US over the West's involvement in the Middle East.
Senior members of the area's large Muslim community have spoken of their shock at the arrests, saying all three men were devoutly religious and had travelled abroad - including to Iceland - to lead prayers and teach their faith.
The arrests of the trio, aged 21, 22 and 23, were a joint operation between Lancashire Police and Greater Manchester Counter Terrorism Unit.
Tonight a spokeswoman for Lancashire Police refused to comment on the investigation.
Police have until Thursday to charge the men, release them or seek an extension to their custody.
UK Lockdown point of view
Al Queda have managed yet again with almost perfect timing to spring out of the shadows at the exact same time another major scandal hits the traitorous criminal new labour party with the so-called accidental loss of the personal details of 130,000 hardcore criminals leaving PM Gordon Brown's popularity rating lower than ever before, so with no other option left Zionist stooge Gordon Brown has resorted back to the Al Queda scarecrow tactic framing perfectly innocent muslim anti-war activists
by branding them as terrorists based entirely on circumstantial evidence; To highlight the fact that the criminal UK mis-leaders have waged and illegal war based on provable lies which almost got Tony Blair impeached had he not escaped office two years short of serving his full term, and that the subsequent post-impeachment prosecution could have lead to him being convicted under the treason laws which at one point required that traitors be punished by death (a law that was removed during Blair's time in office) it is entirely justifiable to highlight the fact that Blair and his Cabinet under the old laws would have been convicted of treason and sentenced to death for their acts of evil and their acts of betrayal against our country. New Labour are the real threat to our country and it is they who are the real terrorists
