duh the LA Times says ‘origin of the attacks still unclear’
This is a riot, if only for its utter sheer cluelessness.
LONDON — At least six of the suspects in the failed London and Glasgow car bombings were foreign doctors or medical personnel working for the National Health Service, but officials still have not determined whether a foreign terror group sent them to Britain or they were recruited here.
So the Times writer Marjorie Miller can’t seem to make a connection between the…(I’m borrowing CN’s phrase here)- “jihad doctors” and terrorism? I’m not certain exactly what she’s questioning; that they haven’t pinpointed exactly what jihad group they belong to, or is she questioning merely the country of origin of the faction to which they belong? It still is, the last time I checked, a GLOBAL war on terror, lol…
Spelled out in that article are the nationalities and descriptions of six seven of the jihad docs:
–Bilal Abdullah, an Iraqi doctor from Baghdad who worked at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Scotland. He has been identified as a passenger in the Jeep Cherokee that plowed into the main terminal of Glasgow Airport and exploded in flames. He was detained at the airport at the time of the attack.
–Khalid Ahmed, reported to be the driver of the SUV who was critically burned in the fire. He is believed to be a doctor who worked and roomed with Abdullah in Paisley. His nationality is unknown and he remains under police custody at the Royal Alexandra hospital.
–Mohammed Jameel Asha, a Palestinian-Jordanian neurosurgeon, who was arrested along with his wife Saturday night on a highway in northern England. He worked at the North Staffordshire Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent.
–Mohammed Haneef, an Indian doctor who worked at Halton Hospital in Cheshire, south of Liverpool, in 2005. He was detained in Brisbane, Australia as he was about to board a flight with a one-way ticket.
–Another man identified as Sabeel Ahmed, a post-graduate medical trainee from India, reportedly worked with Haneef in Cheshire and was detained in Liverpool on Saturday night.
–Two unidentified medical students who lived in a medical residence of the Royal Alexandra Hospital, are believed to be from Saudi Arabia.
The suspects were tracked down through mobile telephones left in the London car bombs, apparently as detonators.
Malkin points out that there’s at least one Jihad Doctor which has left the radar, and wonders exactly where is Aafia Siddiqui?
