1. police expect Mumbai style attack on London

Scotland Yard has warned businesses in London to expect a Mumbai-style attack on the capital.

In a briefing in the City of London 12 days ago, a senior detective from SO15, the Metropolitan police counter-terrorism command, said: “Mumbai is coming to London.”

The detective said companies should anticipate a shooting and hostage-taking raid “involving a small number of gunmen with handguns and improvised explosive devices”.

The warning — the bluntest issued by police — has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year.

2. more terror attacks soon?


Never before have I put people or ongoing plans at risk by speaking of an operation that is still live. Historical intelligence operations are one thing, but ongoing ones are something else.

But this is different, informed sources tell me a very sinister operation in the “Strategic Deceptions” category is being planned to be unleashed soon by the British government “on its own people”.

Preparations are being made for a December Spectacular. We’ve already seen the US/Israeli 9/11 attacks, and the British 7/7 bombings, which were part of a series of False Flag operations that have been planned to happen periodically.

In 1929 the Rothschild banks were allowed to take the public for a huge ride with the latter day equivalents of the Bernie Madoff scam. So shafting the public is nothing new and what they did to the German economy helped bring Mr. Hitler to power.

3. aangirfan: do security services ever attack their own people?

It could be argued that the Mumbai attacks of 2008 were carried out by the CIA and its friends.

Attacks of this kind are normally the work of the security services. (False flag operations from Amman to Zambia)

1. On 20 December 2009, in the Hindustan Times, Vir Sanghvi wrote the following about the American called David Headley, who is suspected of planning the Mumbai attacks of 2008 (Did America keep mum on 26/11? ):

"The only explanation that fits is this: he was an American agent all along.

"The US arrested him only when it seemed that Indian investigators were on his trail.

"He will be sentenced to jail, will vanish into the US jail system for a while and will then be sprung again — as he was the last time."

4. govt tables Mumbai report


The report went into the response by the police to the 26/11 attacks and pointed out “total confusion” in processing of Intelligence alerts at the level of the state government and “inadequacies” in the existing mechanism for analysing alerts about possible strikes.

The panel report cited instances of non-adherence to the Standard Operating Practice (SOP) during the terror siege.

5. report find serious lapses by police leadership, no problem found with intelligence agencies O_o

A high-level committee appointed by the Maharashtra government to go into the Mumbai terror strikes has found serious lapses on the part of the then Mumbai Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor in handling the “war-like” multi-pronged attack.

However, the two-member committee did not find any serious lapses to act or react on the part of individual officers and police men of the Mumbai Police.

“There was absence of overt leadership on the part of Hasan Gafoor, the CP, and lack of visible Command and Control at the CP’s office,” said the report prepared by former Governor and Union Home Secretary R.D. Pradhan.

...The committee said "we have come to the conclusion that there was absence of visible and overt leadership on the part of Hasan Gafoor, the CP".

The committee did not find any failure to act on inputs provided by the central intelligence agencies.

It had a word of praise for the then Director General of Police A N Roy, who it found that throughout the operations, he made himself available to provide information and offered help while taking care not to intrude into the functioning of Mumbai Police officers.

6. Kasab: i did not kill Karkare

Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab on Monday denied the killing of police officers Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte and Vijay Salasakar on the night of 26/11, claiming he was not present at the site.

“There is no question of me shooting at them as I was not present on the site,” he told the special court during the trial.

Kasab said that he was not present at CST, Cama Hospital or Girgaum Chowpati (where he was nabbed by police) during Mumbai attack, because he was already in police custody when the terror attack took place.

After the attack, he was taken out by Crime Branch officers in a police vehicle, and was shown the sites, he said.

“They are police, they need an accused. So they framed me up,” he alleged.

When the court asked him how he received a bullet injury on his hand, Kasab alleged that when he was in custody, police gave him local anaesthesia in his hands, and shot him.
