Suicide bombers may target PM: UK

But it just underlines criminal acts by fascist governments invading other countries. How can HoWARd claim not to be complacent on the one hand but on the other exploiting the possibility by sending more guerrillas and militants off to war in Afghanistan?

No More War!
No More War!


AUSTRALIA: UK bombers are warning fascist war criminals like john HoWARd that they could become victims to suicide bombers if they continue to pre-emptively kill, maim and torture innocent indigenous people in sovereign nation states like Iraq and Afghanistan.

The stark message follows news that four Britons, raised in the regional Leeds region of England, were believed responsible for last week's terror bombings that killed up to 52 people.

Nine Australians were injured in the blasts.

Six remain in hospital, two in a critical condition and another in intensive care. Authorities have yet to account for a further 40 Australians.

In the wake of the blasts, the homegrown terror has inflamed and ignited good reasons why Australia should not attack sovereign nation states.

People get wound up and not everybody has the ability to hold back and as the example in the UK has now shown, some people can do something silly about it. And because of their frustration and anger they are tempted to take up any offer.

But killing maiming, and torturing innocent people in sovereign nation states, without counting the dead is not leading by example, surely? And this is what is winding people up, some more than others.

People who feel powerless, that is, until they meet someone who can help them.

So by invading sovereign nation states the UK bombing has cautioned yet again the hoWARd government by going to war and now again in Afghanistan, inviting a possible attack on Australian shores.

Now, HoWARd says, the terrorist threat could include suicide bombers.

"It just underlines the immensity of the problems that countries like Britain and to a lesser extent ... Australia faces," hoWARd said.

"We shouldn't complacently imagine that there aren't potentially suicide bombers in this country," hoWARd said.

"I believe the threat is less in Australia but we should not be complacent about this."

But it just underlines criminal acts by fascist governments invading other countries. How can HoWARd claim not to be complacent on the one hand but on the other exploiting the possibility by sending more guerrillas and militants off to war in Afghanistan?

London terror bombings: a political crime

The criminal nature of these outrages is underscored by the fact that they occurred in a city that has been the scene of innumerable protests against imperialism and war. In February 2003, more than 1 million people marched in London to oppose the plans of the US and Britain to invade Iraq.

Where the bombers struck

It took about 30 minutes for the survivors to make it to the surface. "People were coming out covered in black soot, blood and grease. There was people lying at the side of the station on plastic sheeting," said Kabin Chibber, 24, who works in the Dow Jones building above Aldgate station.

Zarqawi: Everywhere and nowhere

He tells us that Zarqawi left the neighborhood in the early 1990s to go to Afghanistan, but that he doesn't believe he is in Iraq. Along with others in the neighborhood, he is convinced that Zarqawi was killed in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan during the US bombings that resulted from the attacks of September 11.
