Extract: "(To be read in continuation of my earlier article of 3-5-03 titled "AL QAEDA & LASHKAR-E-TOIBA" at http://www.saag.org/papers7/paper678.html , the article of 2-7-03 titled "LET: Al Qaeda's Clone" at http://www.saag.org/papers8/paper729.html, and the article of 5-5-07 titled "Countering Jihadi Terrorism in UK" at http://www.saag.org/papers23/paper2235.html [....]) This is my second article analysing the British fertiliser bomb case in which the judgement was delivered by a British court on April 30, 2007. In my earlier article, I had referred to the extensive roots taken by the Pakistanised version of Al Qaeda in the UK and the danger of this spreading to the US and Canada. 2. From this, one should not jump to the conclusion that the US is not yet facing threats from home-grown jihadis of Pakistani origin in its territory. It has been since the 1980s. [....] A saving grace is that the US intelligence has a better awareness than the British of the dangers that could arise from its population of Pakistani origin and has been keeping a tight watch on them. The British are paying a heavy price for their negligence till now." - b.raman
