Are the Brits shanking our pink asses?
Hey guys, hope everyone had a great 4th holiday! Now then, I read a pretty amazing article on CNN a few hours ago I wanted to tell you about.
It basically said that several prominant governments, including France and other countires, are stating that they know for a FACT that the UK has one of the top Al Qaeda leaders, a guy named Abu Qutada, under their protection. Apparently Time Magazine is running the story in their current issue. Time Magazine states that they have been informed by various high ranking European Officials, that England has Qutada in a safe house, is feeding and clothing and providing shelter and safety to him and his family.
The reasoning they say, is that England does not want to suffer reprisals from Al Qaeda by turning him over to the US, so they are hiding and protecting him and pretending they don't know where he is. By the way, he is one of the most wanted men from the 9/11 attacks, believed to be a senior planner of the attack.
Amazingly, CNN pulled the article and there is no trace of it at all now. Looks like someone pulled some strings maybe?
However, there is a summary of the magazine article on Time Magazines website located at this Time Magazine page.
What do you guys think, would England do this? Personally I think England would not do this, I sure hope not anyways, but the full article on CNN was shocking, as so was the way they have completely removed it, instead of just bumping it down the news list like they do any other article.
:Oh crap |
