British airports on alert over fears that terrorists are plotting attack using ‘human bombs’

Al-Qaeda’s top bomb-maker is working on a device that can evade scanners and be hidden inside a terrorist’s body or electronic gadgets

British airports are on terror alert over fears that fanatics from Yemen and Syria have joined forces to plot a “stealth” bomb attack.

Al-Qaeda’s top bomb maker Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri is working on a device that can evade scanners and be hidden inside a terrorist’s body or electronic gadgets.

His Yemen-based team are feared to have made the ‘human bombs’ after linking up with jihadis in Syria where hundreds of Britons are among thousands of Western Muslims waging war on dictator Bashar al Assad.

Security chiefs fear would-be bombers equipped with European passports are being groomed to slip out of the country and use the deadly new technology to blow a plane out of the sky.

Holidaymakers could face a summer of chaos and delays as extra security checks are carried out in a bid to thwart them.

Passengers were urged to be patient and Nick Clegg warned that the extra precautions could be here to stay.

The Deputy PM said: “I don’t think we should expect this to be a one-off temporary thing. We have to make sure the checks are there to meet the nature of the new kinds of threats.

“Whether it is forever – I can’t make any predictions. But I don’t want people to think that this is just a sort of a blip for a week.

“This is part of an evolving and constant review about whether the checks keep up with the nature of the threats we face.”

Racist thugs jailed for 36 years for battering two men almost to death with baseball bats because they weren’t Muslim

Six thugs have been jailed for more than 36 years for the racist, religiously-motivated attack started by Abu Bakr Mansha, 30, at a Tesco store in Bow, east London. He followed the victims, who were black and non-Muslim, to their home and knowing where they lived, he summoned five other attackers to help beat them. Police said it was ‘vicious, racist attack’ which left the victims leading hospital treatment. Mansha (centre), who was previously jailed
under the Terrorism Act for plotting to kill or harm a decorated soldier, was jailed for 10 years. Of the other attackers: Javed Patel, 29, was jailed for eight years (bottom left), Zuber Kara, 30, for two years (top left), Salim Jada, 32, for eight years (top right) and Ibrahim Mohammed, 32, for six and a half years (bottom right).

British mom, Jennifer Butler is leaving her three children in UK to marry American prisoner. Do you think she’s in her right sense?

Isaiah 49:15

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, or have no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these mothers may forget; But as for me, I’ll never forget you! 

I now understand this bible verse clearly.

is very hard to comprehend why a woman could give up her wonderful children for a prisoner.

Report

A British mother is leaving her children behind to make a new life with a U.S. prisoner she met online.

Jennifer Butler, 29, is flying 5,000 miles from the UK to French Robertson Unit in Texas to marry Christopher Mosier, 23, leaving her three young kids who are all younger than 10.

She plans to move in with him when he is released on parole in September. Her children will stay with their dad, from whom she split in 2010.

‘Some people might think I’m bonkers for falling in love with a prisoner. And not everyone will agree with our relationship,’ Butler said. ‘But Chris is a wonderful man. Sure, he made a few mistakes in the past, but everybody deserves a second chance.’

Butler says she felt an immediate connection to him and was impressed by his honesty.

‘I felt sorry for him being locked up, nobody to talk to except other prisoners. Of course, I didn’t condone his crimes. But he was still a human being, and deserved to have a friend,’ Butler said. 

‘I was really intrigued by his profile. It was different to the rest. Most of the guys were posing with their tops off. But his was articulate and he was open about his crime.’

They started writing up to three times a week and their relationship deepened, but in June 2013 she suddenly stopped receiving his letters.

I felt really sad that I hadn’t heard from him. That’s when I realized my feelings for him ran a lot deeper. I no longer saw him as just a friend anymore,’ Butler said.

‘Then a month later I received a letter from him. He told me that the prison had been on lockdown so he had not been able to get stamps to write to me,’ the smitten mom said. 

‘I realized I was in love with him and that letter made me admit it to myself. I couldn’t bear to lose him.’

Their relationship became more serious, and Butler even encouraged her three children — Tyler, 8, Tristan, 7, and Mia, 4 — to write to Mosier, too.

The jailbird frequently sent them letters back with drawings for his cell that they had made him.

The mom-of-three says she believes it’s important for her children to get to know him, as she now plans to spend the rest of her life with him.

After saving from her monthly wages as a part-time sales assistant, Butler was able to afford a trip to visit Mosier in prison.

‘Leaving my children is not an easy thing to decide to do. But I want to get everything ready for them in America before they move, too,’ she said. 

‘I’m doing this for our future because I want us to be a family. I need to set up a life out there for us and I’ll do whatever I can to get them over with us as soon as possible.’

She added, ‘I am devoted to my children but they deserve a happy mum too. This relationship will be for me but the life I build is going to be for all of us.’

Butler says she believes her children are just as excited about the move as she is, and although they haven’t met their future stepdad yet, she’d confident they’ll make a happy family.

‘My children are excited about eventually moving over there. As kids, they won’t realize about me not being around until I’m actually gone. It’s going to be hard saying goodbye, but I know I’ll see them again soon,” she said. 

‘It’s fine because they know I’m going over there to find us a house and to sort out their schooling. The main thing is that they’re excited to get to meet Chris.’

Butler concludes: ‘I know he did a terrible crime but he’s a changed man. He’s going to make a wonderful husband and a brilliant stepdad to my children.

Nigeria’s break-up less likely, says Soyinka

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has said that Nigeria is suffering greater carnage at the hands of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, than it did during the country’s 30-month civil war.

Soyinka, however, said the Boko Haram insurgency had made the country’s break-up less likely.

He said this in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Soyinka said the horrors inflicted by the Boko Haram insurgents had shown Nigerians across the mostly Muslim north and Christian south that sticking together might be the only way to avoid even greater sectarian slaughter.

Nigeria fought a bloody civil war between 1967 and 1970 to stop the secession attempt by the Igbo of the present South-East zone.

The Nobel laureate said, “We have never been confronted with butchery on this scale, even during the civil war.

“There were atrocities (during Biafra) but we never had such a near predictable level of carnage and this is what is horrifying.”

A million people died during the Biafra war, though mostly through starvation and illness, rather than violence.

Boko Haram’s five-year-old struggle to carve out an Islamic state from its bases in the North-East has become increasingly bloody, with near daily attacks killing many thousands.

The conflict’s growing intensity has led Nigerian commentators to predict it may split the country, 100 years after British colonial rulers cobbled Nigeria together from their northern and southern protectorates.

“I think ironically it’s less likely now. For the first time, a sense of belonging is predominating. It’s either we stick together now or we break up, and we know it would be not in a pleasant way,” Soyinka said.

Boko Haram’s abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14 drew unprecedented international attention to the insurgency and pledges of aid from Western powers, but violence has worsened.

The sect’s fighters frequently massacre whole villages, gunning down fleeing residents and burning their homes.

The insurgents on Sunday returned to the Chibok Local Government Area, attacking churches and worshippers during worship in Kwada, Kautikari and Kanagau communities. On Tuesday, the insurgents bombed a popular market in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, from where the sect started off its campaign of violence in 2009.

Soyinka said fewer people were shrugging off Boko Haram’s menace.

“It’s almost unthinkable to say: ‘well, let’s leave them to their devices.’ Very few people are thinking that way,” he said.

Attacks spreading southwards, including three bombings in the Federal Capital Territory since April, showed it was not a just a northern problem.

Soyinka said, “The (Boko Haram) forces that would like to see this nation break up are the very forces which will not be satisfied having their enclave.

“(We) are confronted with an enemy that will never be satisfied with the space it has.

“When the spectre of Sharia first came up, for political reasons, this was allowed to hold, instead of the president defending the constitution.”

He sees both Christianity and Islam as foreign impositions.

“We cannot ignore the negative impacts which both have had on African society. They are imperialist forces: intervening, arrogant. Modern Africa has been distorted,” he told Reuters.

He added that while the leadership of Boko Haram needed to be “decapitated completely”, little had been done to present an alternative ideological vision to their “deluded” followers, driven largely by economic destitution and despair.
