Iranian threat to British Jews

Adam | 26.10.2003 10:00 | Indymedia | London

In a possible repeat of previous bombings in Argentina, the Iranians seem to be looking to Jewish targets in the UK.


Iranian spies have been photographing synagogues
and other Jewish buildings in Britain in
preparation for terrorist attacks, the
Sunday Telegraph reported on Sunday.

Britain's security service,
MI5, and Special Branch
officers have discovered
Iranians photographing such
buildings in London and other
parts of Britain, with an
increase in such activity in
recent months, the newspaper
reported.

Up to 20 Iranians, most of who are enrolled at
British universities, are involved in the
surveillance of the buildings and two men have
reportedly been asked to leave the country.

A spokesman for the umbrella body of British
Jewry, the Board of Deputies, told the
Telegraph that British authorities were taking
the threats seriously and that there could be a
possible link with al-Qaeda. He said the
threats had the community very worried and
among the buildings photographed were
synagogues in Finchley, north London, home to
one of Britain's largest Jewish communities.

The Sunday Telegraph hey!

Known to many as "the sewer outlet for the british intelligence services" (George Galloway)

And look out! The Al-Queda bogeyman might get you (again (not))

Grow up, I could read this in my sunday supplements should I wish to.

Some Idiots Making Stuff Up

The intelligence services are up to bs again. They have no evidence on anything!! They just make things up as they go along!! One of the finest examples is their so-called hard evidence dossier. All it was was some student's thesis. Oh yes, that's great ground breaking evidence NOT!!!

Of course the British Jews Society or whatever they're called will play this up so that their illegal occupation of Palestine is justified. You know what, nothing will ever justify the illegal occupation of Palestine and the mass murders successive jewish governments are committing on muslims.

Of course, all this trash talk in the papers is designed to attack innocent muslims. May the trouble makers of Israel, America and Britain rot in the fire of hell.

a british government investigation concluded that the 1994 bombing of the israeli embassy in londond was actually carried out by israeli secret services, Mossad, in an attempt to stir up anti-arab backlash! (Reported in The Independent - an internet search will turn it up). don't believe the hype!!!

Let the witchhunt against Iranians and the demonization of Iran commence, by order of Israel, in preparation for the next war.
