New 7/7 Suicide Bomber Video Released - JNV Predicts Media Self-Censorship

Milan Rai, JNV, author of 7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War | 06.07.2006 16:37 | Analysis | Terror War

The London suicide bomber's video statement confirms that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a major part of the motivation of the bombers. Milan Rai, author of 7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War, predicts that this will be effectively censored by the mainstream media.

Second 7/7 Suicide Bomber Video Released: Self-Censorship Predicted

The latest al-Qaeda video, broadcast on Al-Jazeera television, features a second 7/7 suicide bomber, Shehzad Tanweer. The previous video featured suspected lead bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan. Tanweer is thought to be Khan's 'right-hand man'.

Tanweer confirms that the bombings on 7 July were connected to British foreign policy - exactly as the majority of British people believed after the attacks, exactly as leaks from inside the British government confirmed in the aftermath of the atrocities, and exactly as charged in my '7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War'.

According to the Washington Post transcript of the broadcast, Tanweer says:

"What have you witnessed now is only the beginning of a string of attacks that will continue and become stronger until you pull your forces out of Afghanistan and Iraq. And until you stop your financial and military support to America and Israel."

The BBC report has Tanweer saying the non-Muslims of Britain deserve the attacks because they voted for a government which "continues to oppress our mothers, children, brothers and sisters in Palestine, Afghanistan,
Iraq and Chechnya".

It is unclear how much of this is going to survive into tomorrow's newspapers. On past form, these vital elements will be effectively censored, despite the fact that they confirm crucial facts fatal to the Government's case.

Note the importance of Afghanistan in Tanweer's statement. People sometimes ask why al-Qaeda planning continued in Spain after the withdrawal from Iraq was announced, following the 2004 election. Part of the reason may be Spain's continuing military contribution to the US-led
occupation in Afghanistan.

(A recent Daily Mail report (see last paragraph) says: 'Ministry of Defence aides say there is irritation in Downing Street that Spain and Germany, both with troops in safer parts of Afghanistan, are reluctant to divert forces to relieve the British contingent' in Helmand province.)

Laughable Pattern ...

Wow, another tape surfaces, a year after the fact, and suddenly, we're supposed to forget the many refuted and exposed LIES told by the Bliar Regime about this incident, and the still-missing key evidence which would exist if the Official Conspiracy Theory - upon which Bliar seized for himself powers the courts had denied him for four years - was true.

An independent inquiry is the only way we shall ever really know what happened, and more importantly, who was responsible.

al Qaeda = CIA/Mossad/MI6

"An independent inquiry is the only way we shall ever really know what happened, and more importantly, who was responsible. "

Boy, when you hitch your cart to a wagon you don't let go.

Can I be the first to say

1. Obvious fake video (see refections etc)
2. Obvious MI6/MI5/mossad/CIA/iluminati fake video
3. He was a MI5 agent.
4. He is alive and well living in Sudan
6. Obvious use of holograms to make video

etc etc etc

Some bad predictions..

"It is unclear how much of this is going to survive into tomorrow's newspapers" -- Typical paranoid indy person

A depressingly accurate prediction

07.07.2006 09:45

Scanning the news headlines reveals that true motives are barely mentioned if at all. In the words of the inimitable Basil Fawlty "Don't mention the war! I did a couple of times but I think I got away with it".
Time to break out all the "I TOLD YOU SO!" T shirts.

No Iraq link to London bombs

07.07.2006 12:09

It’s obvious to many and to the Left that the motivation for the London bombs was the Iraq invasion. They are wrong.

In Khan and Tanweer’s video confessions, they suggest they care about Muslim suffering at the hands of the West, particularly the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions. But they have to be lying.

Khan cited Zarqawi as a hero. Yet, the now dead Zarqawi hated Shia Muslims and wanted a civil war in Iraq between them and Sunni Muslims. Why would four young Muslims kill themselves because of Western-caused deaths and suffering of Iraqi Muslims and then support Muslim fundamentalist caused deaths and suffering of Iraqi Muslims? Were they stupid and deluded? Were they so racist they thought Western violence against Muslims is evil and Muslim violence against Muslims praiseworthy? Were they lying?

Logic says that they could not have cared about Muslim suffering and when they said they did, they were lying. That is, if we don’t believe that the London bombs were caused by a rogue network in MI5. As renown former US federal prosecutor has stated concerning London bombs: "There are compartmentalized groups who engage in crimes. Are these authorized by the Government or is it wink and a nod stuff? We haven't got to the bottom of this yet and a lot of us are very, very concerned."
