Cleared Car Bomb Doctor Allowed to Remain in Britain

If you ever thought that the people at the top were paid to protect you and further the values of our Judeo-Christian civilisation, disabuse yourselves of those notions now! The powers that be have all but given up on defending our way of life. They want the fat salaries, but they don’t want to take the uncomfortable decisions that go with those positions. In short, they are stupid, cowardly, greedy idiots, bereft of all sense of shame or responsibility. They care little about our safety, but a lot about lining their pockets. – ©Mark

THE TELEGRAPH: A doctor cleared of the London and Glasgow car bombings, Mohammed Asha, is to be allowed to remain in Britain after the British government dropped its attempt to deport him.

Dr Asha, 28, admitted being friends with both of the bombers, lending them money, and meeting them at key points in the build up to the plot but he was cleared of involvement at the end of a trial last year.

The Home Office has now dropped its attempt to deport him back to his native Jordan on the grounds that his presence was “not conducive to the national good”, opening the way for him to return to his work as a doctor.

A hearing of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) in January had already released him on bail and expressed the view that it was not in the public interest to prevent him from resuming work in the National Health Service.

A colleague had told the hearing in central London that Dr Asha, who was working as a neurologist in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, when he was arrested, had the potential to be one of the country’s leading neurosurgeons.

US Embassy Blast: 10 Die in Car Bomb Attack in Yemen

THE TELEGRAPH: Islamist militants attacked the heavily-guarded US embassy in Yemen with a car bomb and rockets, killing at least ten people.

The car exploded some distance from the embassy in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, at a checkpoint manned by security personnel, before gunmen in another car started firing.

The attackers wore police uniforms to try to get through the embassy's perimeter security during a morning shift change.

Four civilians and six members of the police died in the attack, a spokesman for the Yemeni security forces said. The six attackers - one wearing an explosives belt, also died. There were no casualties among US diplomatic staff.

Trevor Mason, a British eye-witness who lives in an apartment block close to the US embassy compound, said the attack began around 8.30 am local time.

"We heard the sounds of a heavy gun battle going on,'' he said.

"I looked out my window, and we saw the first explosion going off -- a massive fireball very close to the US embassy.

"The gun battle went on for a further 10 to 15 minutes, followed by two further loud explosions.

"The situation is quiet now but obviously very tense.''

A militant group calling itself the Islamic Jihad in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack. US Embassy Blast: 10 Die in Car Bomb Attack in Yemen >>> By Tim Butcher, Middle East Correspondent | September 17, 2008
