Allegation – MI5 Recruited Al Qaeda Sympathizers Posted: 02 Aug 2009 12:41 AM PDT MI5 mistakenly recruited al Qaeda sympathisers who were trying to infiltrate the British secret service, it has been alleged. Conservative MP Patrick Mercer is demanding a probe into claims six Muslims were thrown out of MI5 because of concerns about their past. Two of the six allegedly attended al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan while the others had unexplained gaps of up to three months in their CVs. Mr Mercer, counter-terrorism sub-committee chairman, told Sky News that MI5 is believed to have detected two sympathisers at a “fairly early stage” of their secret service training. The others allegedly did not make it through vetting procedures. However, Mr Mercer wants clarification on how successful the security services have been at detecting enemy infiltrators. via MI5 Recruited Al Qaeda Sympathisers Claim: Conservative MP Patrick Mercer Demands Probe UK News Sky News.

Daniel Pearl Killer Believed Captured In Pakistan Posted: 01 Aug 2009 06:53 PM PDT In a major catch, Pakistani authorities today nabbed a top militant suspected of beheading the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. Rao Shakir, a suspected member of banned Sunni militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was arrested from Bhara Kahu on the outskirts of the federal capital late last night, police said. The militant is believed by the police to be closely linked to al-Qaeda and Taliban groups and their commanders. Pearl was abducted from Karachi in 2002 while doing a story on militant funding. His remains were later found in a grave on outskirts of the port city. Shakir is also linked to several terrorist strikes, including a suicide attack on a bus of a spy agency, the suicide bombing of the Marriott Hotel last year and an attack in Rawalpindi. Officials said police had been hunting for Shakir for a long time. Read Full Story This story comes to us via Homeland Security - National Terror Alert.

LaGuardia Airport Reopens After Bomb Scare Posted: 01 Aug 2009 06:33 AM PDT Authorities temporarily closed one of the terminals at New York’s busy LaGuardia airport on Saturday morning and took a man into custody after discovering what turned out to be a fake bomb in his bag. Most of the airport’s main terminal was closed at 5:30 a.m./0930 GMT and travelers were allowed to return about 3 1/2 hours later. Jack Kelly, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said the terminal’s Concourse C, where the man was taken into custody, would remain closed until a crime scene investigation had been completed. Kelly described the suspect as emotionally disturbed and said his bag contained batteries and wires. A police bomb squad was called in and local media reports described the bag’s contents as a fake bomb that was not dangerous.
