Police let guilty 21st July bombers slip net

Police missed a string of opportunities to intercept four terrorists months before the botched suicide bomb attacks on July 21, it became clear last night. Four men who were given sanctuary in Britain after leaving their war-torn countries were yesterday found guilty of a plot that would have killed hundreds of people on the London transport system two years ago.
Muktar Ibrahim, 29, the leader of the suicide gang, was seen by officers on at least four occasions before the bombings, Woolwich Crown Court had heard and was on bail after being arrested on suspicion of extremism. says the Telegraph

The Guardian says

Anti-terrorist police and MI5 were under pressure last night to explain how the ringleader of the July 21 suicide bomb plot slipped through their net despite being captured on surveillance photographs more than 12 months before the attempted attacks on London.

Ibrahim, who was known to the others as the "emir", was the brains behind the scheme to carry out a suicide mission on the capital's transport network, the court heard. The jury was told that he may have attended the same training camp in Pakistan as Mohammed Siddique Khan, the ringleader of the July 7 attacks; the two were in the country at the same time in 2005.

Refugees who tried to wage war on London says the Times

All four were young refugees from Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia who had sought safety in Britain where they received education, were given housing and claimed welfare benefits. But they turned for religious guidance to Abu Hamza al-Masri, the extremist Muslim cleric who preached hatred, intolerance and holy war at the Finsbury Park mosque in North London.

Bombers on benefits: How four refugees taking sanctuary in Britain betrayed us says the Mail

They fled to Britain from war- torn East Africa to escape persecution.
Here, they were given homes, an education and benefits by a society which held out the hand of friendship.
In return, Muktar Said Ibrahim, Ramzi Mohammed, Yassin Omar and Hussain Osman plotted mass murder against the very people who gave them sanctuary when they needed it most.
The four Islamic terrorists were facing life sentences last night after they were convicted of the 21/7 suicide bomb plot, which they hoped would be 'bigger and better' than the 7/7 attacks two weeks before which killed 52.

MORON TERROR says the Sun

FOUR bombers behind the botched 21/7 suicide blitz on London were facing life in jail last night — as it emerged hundreds of lives were saved because the ringleader was an imbecile.
Buck-toothed fanatic Muktah Ibrahim, 29, mixed the ingredients for the rucksack bombs the four carried, but got the recipe for the main charge wrong.
The plot to blow up innocent Londoners, two weeks after the 7/7 massacre, ended with the men setting off their detonators, but nothing else happening.

Its leader adding

The jury had to decide if it was a publicity stunt or an attempt at mass murder. They reached the only possible verdict . . . guilty as hell.
Yet all we seem able to do is lock them away for a few years. These depraved plotters came here from Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Why can’t we drop them back where they came from...with or without a parachute?

CHEMICAL WALLY says the Mirror

FOUR 21/7 suicide bombers failed to explode their rucksack devices because ringleader Mukhtar Ibrahim bungled the bomb mix, it was revealed yesterday.
"Emir" Ibrahim, who failed maths GCSE, scribbled on a piece of paper found at his flat the recipe for boiling down hydrogen peroxide and mixing it with chaphati flour.

THEY TRIED TO BLOW UP MY BABY

A MOTHER told last night how twisted 21/7 suicide bomber Ramzi Mohammed deliberately tried to blow up her nine-month-old baby.
Nadia Baro, 26, said callous Mohammed turned his explosive-filled rucksack towards her and little Marc moments before he pressed the detonator on a packed Tube train. It was only because of the bombers' stupidity that the device failed to go off.

Grounded: Another victory in battle to curb airport growth headlines the former

A dramatic grassroots fightback is under way against the massive expansion plans of Britain's airports which, despite grave concerns about effects on the environment, are aiming to treble flights and vastly increase passenger numbers within 20 years.
In an unexpected triumph for campaigners yesterday, Manchester airport's plans to expand on to green belt land which it owns in Cheshire were rejected by a government planning inspector, who supported the objections of Macclesfield Borough Council. The decision follows a similar triumph for Warwick District Council, whose opposition to ambitious development plans at Coventry airport have halted plans to double passenger numbers.

MUSLIM JUROR 'WORE MP3 PLAYER' UNDER HIJAB

A MURDER trial was halted after a woman juror was caught listening to her MP3 player under a Muslim headscarf.
The woman – in her 20s – slipped earphones under her sequinned headdress so she could hear her favourite tunes rather than the ­evidence.The judge heard the tinny beat of the music but thought he had imagined it.The final straw came when a fellow juror spotted tell-tale wires coming from the woman’s hijab while the accused man was giving evidence.

PM's Roy Keane tells of the little things that got on top of his boss reports the Guardian

For a couple of political operators who had the reputations of being manipulative, Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell emerge from The Blair Years as a surprisingly edgy pair. Mr Blair is often in a state of "constant agitation", his press secretary and confidante plagued by self-doubt and a desire - as early as 1999 - to leave No 10.
Throughout the book Mr Blair is worried that Campbell is becoming "such a big thing in politics" that he cannot continue as his spokesman because he is now part of the story for the media. As a result, in 2001 Campbell stops frontline media briefing - though Peter Mandelson later insists that Mr Blair is the political "genius" not least because he is "totally selfish".

Campbell book reveals how fights and threats dominated Blair era says the Times

Despite Alastair Campbell’s decision to remove from his diaries material that he believed would be damaging to Gordon Brown, his 800-page book throws an uncomfortable light on to the partnership that has dominated politics for 13 years.
It reveals for the first time that Mr Blair gave warning to his Chancellor then that he would oppose him becoming Prime Minister unless he stopped agitating against him, that the two of them argued over the make-up of the first Blair Government as early as polling day in 1997, that Mr Brown had tried to stop Mr Blair’s team talking about tax because that was his territory, and how John Prescott had stepped in to dissuade Mr Brown from pushing for Mr Blair to retire.

Blair feared coup by Brown says the Telegraph

Tony Blair warned Gordon Brown only six months after leading Labour to its second landslide election victory that he would not support him as his replacement if he was ousted from office, according to Alastair Campbell's diaries.

How Mandy swung at Alastair, and Tony broke it up reports the Mail

Obsessed with spin and frequently displaying symptoms of paranoia, the key players at the heart of New Labour appear more like squabbling characters in a soap opera than serious politicians.
The diaries detail an extraordinary punch-up between Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and Alastair Campbell - over whether the Labour leader should wear a tie.
Like members of a dysfunctional family, Mandelson is portrayed as petulant, while Cherie is stubborn, argumentative and has 'hideous' dress sense

We lift lid on Campbell diaries says the Sun

TONY Blair reckoned wife Cherie would “chew my b*lls off” if he ever cheated on her, his former spin chief revealed last night.
Alastair Campbell’s diaries also disclosed the ex-PM sometimes worked in the NUDE or wearing just underpants.
And lifting the lid on a host of wacky incidents that peppered the Blair years, Campbell also told how:
CHERIE had her bum pinched by an African leader at an international summit.
BLAIR cracked a dirty joke while having a pee with Bill Clinton and other world leaders.

Mortgage shake-up to tackle homes crisis

Ministers plan to shake-up Britain's mortgage market as part of a three-pronged approach to tackle the crisis in affordable housing that is posing a threat to the economy and triggering a political backlash, the chancellor, Alistair Darling, said last night.
Mr Darling said Labour would issue proposals shortly to boost the supply of long-term fixed-rate home loans for periods of up to 25 years, amid concern that lenders are only offering shorter-term mortgages so they can repeatedly charge high arrangement fees.

Three jailed over shed imprisonment reports the Indy

Three people who kept an epileptic man prisoner in a garden shed in Gloucestershire for four months have been given lengthy jail sentences.
Handyman Kevin Davies, 29, was repeatedly beaten, burned and humiliated by the trio, who held him hostage over a minor debt they claimed he owed them.
He was found dead by paramedics at a house in Bream, Gloucestershire, on September 26 last year, where he had been locked away in David Lehane and Amanda Baggus's shed since May 27.
She had kept a diary, in which she recorded the punishments they had meted out to the vulnerable victim and scornfully noted his cries for help

LOCKED IN A SHED.. TORTURED TO DEATH says the Mirror

THREE sadists who imprisoned an epileptic in a garden shed for four months and tortured him to death were jailed yesterday.
Victim Kevin Davies was beaten with sticks, burned with a hot knife and starved so harshly he lost three stone.
He was freed only to help with household chores. His blood was found on the ceiling, walls and furniture at the home of his tormentors.
Incredibly Kevin, 29 - cruelly nicknamed P**** - was even forced to make a "distressing" Middle East hostage-style video in which he praised his captors for looking after him.

Republican revolt prompts Bush to rethink surge

The White House is reviewing its Iraq strategy earlier than planned because of an escalating revolt by Republicans who have run out of patience and want US troops brought home.
George Bush had been hoping he had until at least September before debate began on whether his surge strategy, in which 30,000 extra troops were sent to Iraq, was working. But the White House is alarmed by the loss of confidence among Republicans who returned to Congress yesterday after a short recess. The Senate began discussions yesterday on whether to attach a withdrawal timetable to a new round of funding for the Iraq war.

Iraq warns of catastrophe as Bush struggles with rising US rebellion says the Times

Iraq’s Foreign Minister gave warning yesterday that a hasty US withdrawal could plunge the country into full-scale civil war and ultimate collapse, just as President Bush faces mounting domestic pressure to pull out.
Amid a growing Republican rebellion over the President’s “surge” strategy and intensifying pressure from Congress for a troop withdrawal, Hoshyar Zebari said that the US had to stay the course or face catastrophic consequences. He was responding to reports that the White House was discussing the possibility of announcing a gradual withdrawal of troops from Baghdad before September’s pivotal progress report. The aim would be to halt Republican defections before General David Petraeus, the US ground commander, reports to Congress.

Food prices set to rise as floods ruin crops

Food prices will soar in the coming months after the recent flooding wiped out huge swathes of the country's crops, experts warned yesterday.
A predicted shortage of vegetables - including potatoes and peas, and cereals such as wheat - is likely to cause manufacturers and retailers to push their prices up and increase food-price inflation.
Fields in prime vegetable growing areas of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire remain under water and only an extended dry period will give farmers any hope of salvaging this year's crop.

Floods batter fish and chips says the Sun

THE price of fish and chips is soaring — because of the UK’s summer washout.
Customers were warned of further hikes yesterday after potato crops were hit by floods.
Pea harvests have also been devastated — raising the cost of mushy peas.
Some chippies are now charging more than £7 for Britain’s traditional dish.

Olympic costs could spiral out of control, says spending watchdog reports the Times

The Government has left itself “financially exposed” over the 2012 Olympic Games and at risk of letting costs spiral out of control again, the public spending watchdog warns today.
In a highly critical report the Public Accounts Committee condemns the Government for allowing the original Olympic budget to treble to £9 billion and calls for urgent risk management to give warning of potential problems.
The report argues that no individual has overall responsibility for delivering the Games and the large numbers of bodies meant there was a high risk of time delays and cost overruns.

Relieved David Hill, 33, said his half sister was in high spirits hours after the end of her four-day ordeal.
He added: "She kept shouting 'David, David' down the phone. Her first words were, 'I'm fine, how are you?' She really is a little topper. We're all over the moon."

Alien hunters 'should also seek weird life'

The hunt for extra-terrestrial life should encompass what experts call "weird life", according to a committee of scientists in the US. Nasa selects planets and moons with hints of water for its exploratory missions. But according to the scientists, who have written a report for the National Research Council in the US, other chemicals such as ammonia or methane could also support life.
So-called "weird life" or organisms that lack DNA or other molecules found in life on Earth could exist, the scientists say. For example, while DNA uses phosphorus in its backbone, it might be possible to build a backbone out of arsenic.
