Police intelligence: reassuring, isn't it? posted by Meaders
Posted by MeadersKotaji has forwarded me this piece in the South London Advertiser:
A MUSLIM leader has revealed he warned police about a suspected suicide bomber.
Toaha Qureshi wrote to Lambeth police about Hussain Osman in July 2003, telling them how the 27-year-old had stormed Stockwell mosque and made death threats against Mr Qureshi's family.
Osman is a suspect for the Shepherd's Bush terror attack on July 21 and is fighting extradition in Italy...
Mr Qureshi, a trustee at the mosque, said: "We had a very nasty experience with him. He was a very angry young man who led a group of extremely violent men."
At the time, the police were busily eyeballing a clown with a comedy pirate-hook, and detaining a mentally ill refugee and a man without hands as "major threats here and across the world". More recently in Stockwell, they've managed to murder an innocent Brazilian on the tube. No wonder they're keeping so tight-lipped about Qureshi's revelations.
