Seems that the news companies haven't made much of it all?

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

they is a bit on 2br

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

The Accy arrest was actually in Church; has anybody got any idea exactly where? I see also that the cops are saying the offences against which they are holding them are "at the least serious end of the scale". Does anyone know what is meant by that?

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Any terrorist involvment is serious in my opinion.............

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

It could be they were planning to blow up Accy, which is far more serious than planning to blow up Ossy.

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

yeh i heard that, never heard anything as crazy.:rolleyes:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Cripes what about Church then Tealeaf:D

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I think it's the opposite to the most serious end of the scale:D

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

i heard it on news 24 late last night

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Heard the arrest in Church was on Persia Street

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Police have been given another 7 days to question the three men

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I wonder if Andrewb and Co. are outside protesting, in case they need to be questioned for forty two days?:rolleyes::D

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

LOL!
For the love of god don't bring that up again we will never hear the end of it!!:D

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Not to worry its not law yet. ;)

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

It appears that all three are teachers of some sort, according to the news channels, wonder what they teach:eek:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

i dont think they were real teachers.... think it was a religious thing...

edit.... found this http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...are_teachers_/

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

So what were they teaching?
This might give us an inkling what they were teaching
Terrorism Act 2006 | Home Office
# Encouragement to Terrorism
This makes it a criminal offence to directly or indirectly incite or encourage others to commit acts of terrorism. This will include the glorification of terrorism, where this may be understood as encouraging the emulation of terrorism.

I suppose an 'I love Osama' on a tshirt could be 'glorification'.:rolleyes:
if you were twisted enough to wear one

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

The police have been granted an extra seven days for questioning

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

They could be scousers trying to get out of the country before they play Man UTD!

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Apparently the arrest in Church was at Express Gifts he was a security guard!!!!

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I think they are more like Sunday School teachers (well the equivalent) rather than professional teachers. I think the use of the word teachers was the Telegraph trying to bring some sensationalism to the story

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

thats what i was told, just great...people with possible "Terror" connections working in security, just imagine the scenario that could happen, if one gets a security job at a "Chemical Plant":eek:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

If they've been vetted cashy whats to stop them getting a job at Manchester Airport, now that is frightening:eek:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Ha. Just a tad more extreme I would say.

We don't teach terrorism at our Sunday School. :p

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Is there such things as Sunday Schools now Lilly:confused:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

seems the local guys wanted to assassinate the Prime Minister and Tony Blair

:eek: :eek:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Thats very scary, to say the least, you may have noticed I'm a fan of either, but this is sick. Well at least we know why they were arrested fore and shows evrybody that you never know where these terrorist live, these are a bit too close for comfort

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Seems they've arrested a forth man in Blackburn, on the same charges

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I hope David Davis & Co. are counting how many days they are being held without charge for.

I wonder if certain people are already making banners to 'Free the Blackburn Four'?

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

so why arrest em?:rolleyes:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

they should throw an extra charge of treason on top as well just to get a few more years in prison

pity you cant hang them

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

that was the point of my question accyman, if the uncovered plot had been 3 white, british christian men, i doubt very much the " Media" Police, would call it terrorism, treason or attempted murder possibly.:rolleyes:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I believe the sign is on the drawing board at this very minute Rindi:D

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

what I found a bit odd about the original story was that the guys arrested at the airport were supposedly on their way to Iceland , wouldn't have thought it held much attraction for Islamic fundamentalists , Sven and Thor are not really the kind of names one associates with terrorism, more with chunky pullovers and cod , must be bit of a ****** when Ramadan falls during the summer and the sun never sets :confused: :confused: :eek: :eek:

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

I think it was Finland steeljack not Iceland, It also seems that this 4th guy who has been arrested is a white muslim convert, according to a muslim councillor in Blackburn, but he says he has never seen him in local mosques

Re: arest in accrington and mancheseter airport
 

Formal charges have now been laid and these three will be in court tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what the press has to report from Horseferry Road tomorrow.
