London Terror Plot
22 August, 2006
The British government claims to have foiled a terrorist plan to blow up as many as 10 jetliners flying to the United States from Britain. So far,
around 50 suspects linked to the London terror plot have been arrested in UK and Pakistan.
The plan was unearthed at a time when the world media was fully engaged in covering the Israeli brutalities in Lebanon. Even, the US television channels,
including Fox, CNN and ABC, which are considered staunch supporters of Israel, were also highlighting the killings of civilians, particularly women and
children.
Following the disclosure of the plan, the international media attention was diverted towards Pakistan and London shifting its focus from Israeli repression to London
terror plan.
Is this a coincidence that whenever the international media, though very rarely, focuses its attention towards Israeli brutalities, or US atrocities something
startling comes out? Whether it was the case the Abu Ghuraib jail or the visit of any US high up to
Pakistan.
A common Pakistani is reluctant to receive it as a coincidence that before the visit of any US high up to Pakistan, either a top Al Qaeda leader is arrested or
the tribal areas are bombed.
Here are some questions
1) Why does it always happen that whenever world media focuses on US or Israeli brutalities, a terrorism plan involving Muslims is unearthed?
2) Is London terror plan a sequel of that exercise aimed at diverting the world attention from Israeli bombardment in Lebanon?
3) Do you think that Pakistani government is part of that exercise?
4) Pakistan says it has again proved its sincerity and active participation in war on terror by helping UK government. What do you think?
