New York Times Tells Brits They Can't Read Article On UK Terror Case

from the jurisdictional-silliness dept

Questions of legal jurisdiction over online content are nothing new at all. Over the years, we’ve pointed to plenty of legal cases that raised issues about online publications, and whether the content was liable under local laws in countries outside of where the publisher (or its servers) were based. Unfortunately, there still isn’t a general agreement on what laws apply, and that makes things risky. Apparently, the NY Times didn’t want to risk any such lawsuit in the UK, so when it published an article yesterday about the British terror case, it used some of its geographic ad targeting technology to also block out visitors from the UK from reading the content. This is to stay on the right side of British laws that “prohibits publication of prejudicial information about the defendants prior to trial.” Of course, the Times then went on to publish an article proudly stating how they blocked the content from UK readers, which makes you wonder how effective the ban really is. By calling attention to it, it seems pretty likely that plenty of folks in the UK will be able to read the same (or similar) content from plenty of other sources. This isn’t to call out the Times for the practice, but to question whether such laws are actually still possible in a world with a global internet.

red flag - white flag

Silly fascist rag, stop trying to eat from the middle of the pie first.

If the servers are here, these laws should apply. there, those. is the times really that concerned that the UK is learning a thing or 2 from china? big [brit] brother can block any content they want, but when media starts self-sensorship and then waves the good-guy flag, it’s even more hyppocritical than one might have come to expect from a US news source.

Taylor says:

Re: red flag - white flag

Perhaps if you took a minute to find out why such content has been blocked from the view of the UK’s public you would be less eager to draw comparisons between the UK and China. The directive has been issued to ensure that the terrorists on trial (they being the individuals attempting to blow up planes over US cities) are sucessfully convicted and that lawyers for the defence cannot point to articles such as this one as grounds for the case to be dismissed on the basis that the defendants could not receive a fair trial.

Sean says:

Re: Re: red flag - white flag

In the spirit of “innocent until proven guilty” I think you need at least one “allegedly” in there.

On the other hand, I don’t think this is a censorship discussion at all. The action by the NYT fulfills the spirit of the law which allows potential jurors to deliberate the facts of the case.

Ian Eiloart says:

Re: Re: red flag - white flag

“The directive has been issued to ensure that the terrorists on trial… are sucessfully convicted”

No, there’s no directive. There’s a law, and there’s a decision by the NYT. The law exists to ensure fair trial. I don’t know whether the NYT decided to respect the law so that the accused can get a fair trial, or whether they did it to help convict.

Either way, if there’s extensive media coverage asserting the guilt of the accused, then that’s grounds for dismissing the trial.

me says:

definition of the UK

What’s even more silly is that their definition of the UK is wrong. I live within the British Isles, but not in the UK, and yet I cannot view the article…. actually, their comment says “On advice of legal counsel, this article is unavailable to readers of nytimes.com in Britain. This arises from the requirement in British law that prohibits publication of prejudicial information about the defendants prior to trial.”

So somebody doesn’t know that there’s a difference between the UK and Britain!

Anonymous Coward says:

indeed. what’s next?

the real unfortunate thing is that the internet is global. you have content creators in country A with their servers in country B while users in country C have the access. who has “control” over everything? must the creators adhere to lawas of country a, b or c? there is no “international law” that i’m aware of that coveres the interned. and from my understanding anything on the web is subject to the laws of where the content is stored. however if you break your country’s laws and host somewhere else…gambling, porn, drugs weapons and the like…i’m sure you’ll be caught and charged where you live. but, nothing has been said. this will get ugly before some sense comes of it.

Internet laws

Theoretical Conversation:

“Yes censorship is evil- nothing should be censored… ”

But what about Poedophile sites showing abuse of kids…

“Well, yeah, that should be censored…”

So you are pro censorship then…

Certain stuff we don’t want on the web- such as that outlined above. But removing that IS censorship.

In a perfect world all nations could sit down over a nice plate of Strawberry Cheescake and Hot Coffee and agree to a list of what is and isn’t acceptable on the web.

This isn’t a perfect world.

So China will block sites for Taiwanese independence- and google will be forced to kneel and do what the red overlords ask.

For the so called “free world” though- it would be nice if standards were put in place- ensuring ALMOST no censorship on any of the free worlds servers- obviously most people would agree… those Michael Jackson wannabes should not be allowed to have their fun.

More broardly- websites that make money by depicting internationally recognized crime (we wouldn’t want pay per view sites of people commiting murder or rape popping up either)…

Please note, Britain is not the villain here- the NYT is- they censored their own content. I would like to hope that Britain is not the enemy of free press- although there have been times when it had been.

I still remember when British comedians were barred from making Diana jokes for example… tasteless- but no government should tell us what humour to express.

Anyhow- no censorship? You wanna allow Michael Jackson’s friends abusing children online?

No, few people want no censorship… what we want is ALMOST no censorship.

anonymizing proxies

I’ve had reason in the past to access sites such as annualcreditreport.com and the SC DMV. For some reason these and other government sites use IP geolocation to lock out visitors from outside the USA. WTF? What’s so fscking secret about the South Carolina DMV website that nobody outside the 50 is allowed to view it?

Anyway, I learned then that many anonymizing proxies are based in the US, which made reading the NYT article from the UK a breeze.

AC says:

US Legal System is not Universal

While Americans seem quite happy with their legal system where the defendants are tried by the media in the court of public opinion before they ever see a judge, not every country works the same way. Many countries place limits on what can be reported before a trial begins to avoid tainting the jury (and frequently the media can publish whatever they want once the trial begins). It’s not censorship, it’s due process.

Anonymous Coward says:

censorship is quite crazy.

i mean, it’s true that you wouldn’t want media spin on potential jurors of a major murder/treason or whatever case to be impacted by partial reporters.

now, in one respect the nyt did a great job by saying, ok…we have this stuff, but to make you happy we won’t let you view it, because it is illegal in your country. however their implementation (from what i gather) sucked. so on one hand it’s kinda cool and respectful, and on the other it’s a real piece of siht

Just Me says:

publicity stunt

Could this be a publicity stunt? I am not aware of any laws they would prevent a publisher from publishing contents over the internet, and worry about who should or shouldn’t see the contents.

Yes, there are contents that if published, then you would have the law nocking on your door, but we are not talking about that now, are we?

Of course, there are many countries like China, Tunisia, Moroco, etc that have blocked websites, so that people of these countries are unable to view the contents of whatever sites that have been blocked.

The point I am trying to make here is a simple one. Given the Freedom of Information Act 2000, UK citizens have more rights to access information than those in the US.

So, it has to be a publicity stunt, and they have successeded already, as we’ve already started talking about it.

Banned in Britian

I’m a SU citizen in |London for a few weeks on a project. Google offered the headline, but then the NYT said they were not showing me the article for British legal reasons. No problem – I VNC’d into my home system and read it from there. Those NYT guys are so clever.

Interestingly, the article was full of repors from ‘sources that couldn’t be named’ because it is illegal to talk about it… hm..

Grant Woodward says:

Even the Times doesn't like this

The NYT hasn’t had the best track record recently — it sat on the US domestic wiretapping story for over a year — but this still surprises me. And no, not the “banning UK readers” part. Companies are so vulnerable to legal action these days that their protective measures must necessarily be asinine.

The real surprise is the Times’ “look what we did!” article. It’s either one of two things: (a) a gross lapse of judgement by the editors of one of the world’s most widely-read newspapers, wherein they forgot that their paper is read outside of New York; or (b) a way to encourage Britons and others to read the article, and to less-than-subtly emphasize the silliness of the situation. Sadly, the way the Times is run now I could put money on either option, but I have to hope that it’s B.

Censorship huh?

Details Emerge in British Terror Case

LONDON, Aug. 27 — On Aug. 9, in a small second-floor apartment in East London, two young Muslim men recorded a video justifying what the police say was their suicide plot to blow up trans-Atlantic planes: revenge against the United States and its “accomplices,” Britain and the Jews.

“As you bomb, you will be bombed; as you kill, you will be killed,” said one of the men on a “martyrdom” videotape, whose contents were described by a senior British official and a person briefed about the case. The young man added that he hoped God would be “pleased with us and accepts our deed.”

As it happened, the police had been monitoring the apartment with hidden video and audio equipment. Not long after the tape was recorded that day, Scotland Yard decided to shut down what they suspected was a terrorist cell. That action set off a chain of events that raised the terror threat levels in Britain and the United States, barred passengers from taking liquids on airplanes and plunged air traffic into chaos around the world.

The ominous language of seven recovered martyrdom videotapes is among new details that emerged from interviews with high-ranking British, European and American officials last week, demonstrating that the suspects had made considerable progress toward planning a terrorist attack. Those details include fresh evidence from Britain’s most wide-ranging terror investigation: receipts for cash transfers from abroad, a handwritten diary that appears to sketch out elements of a plot, and, on martyrdom tapes, several suspects’ statements of their motives.

But at the same time, five senior British officials said, the suspects were not prepared to strike immediately. Instead, the reactions of Britain and the United States in the wake of the arrests of 21 people on Aug. 10 were driven less by information about a specific, imminent attack than fear that other, unknown terrorists might strike.

The suspects had been working for months out of an apartment that investigators called the “bomb factory,” where the police watched as the suspects experimented with chemicals, according to British officials and others briefed on the evidence, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, citing British rules on confidentiality regarding criminal prosecutions.

In searches during raids, the police discovered what they said were the necessary components to make a highly volatile liquid explosive known as HMTD, jihadist materials, receipts of Western Union money transfers, seven martyrdom videos made by six suspects and the last will and testament of a would-be bomber, senior British officials said. One of the suspects said on his martyrdom video that the “war against Muslims” in Iraq and Afghanistan had motivated him to act.

Investigators say they believe that one of the leaders of the group, an unemployed man in his 20’s who was living in a modest apartment on government benefits, kept the key to the alleged “bomb factory” and helped others record martyrdom videos, the officials said.

Hours after the police arrested the 21 suspects, police and government officials in both countries said they had intended to carry out the deadliest terrorist attack since Sept. 11.

Later that day, Paul Stephenson, deputy chief of the Metropolitan Police in London, said the goal of the people suspected of plotting the attack was “mass murder on an unimaginable scale.” On the day of the arrests, some officials estimated that as many as 10 planes were to be blown up, possibly over American cities. Michael Chertoff, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, described the suspected plot as “getting really quite close to the execution stage.”

But British officials said the suspects still had a lot of work to do. Two of the suspects did not have passports, but had applied for expedited approval. One official said the people suspected of leading the plot were still recruiting and radicalizing would-be bombers.

While investigators found evidence on a computer memory stick indicating that one of the men had looked up airline schedules for flights from London to cities in the United States, the suspects had neither made reservations nor purchased plane tickets, a British official said. Some of their suspected bomb-making equipment was found five days after the arrests in a suitcase buried under leaves in the woods near High Wycombe, a town 30 miles northwest of London.

Another British official stressed that martyrdom videos were often made well in advance of an attack. In fact, two and a half weeks since the inquiry became public, British investigators have still not determined whether there was a target date for the attacks or how many planes were to be involved. They say the estimate of 10 planes was speculative and exaggerated.

In his first public statement after the arrests, Peter Clarke, chief of counterterrorism for the Metropolitan Police, acknowledged that the police were still investigating the basics: “the number, destination and timing of the flights that might be attacked.”

A total of 25 people have been arrested in connection with the suspected plot. Twelve of them have been charged. Eight people were charged with conspiracy to commit murder and preparing acts of terrorism. Three people were charged with failing to disclose information that could help prevent a terrorist act, and a 17-year-old male suspect was charged with possession of articles that could be used to prepare a terrorist act. Eight people still in custody have not been charged. Five have been released. All the suspects arrested are British citizens ranging in age from 17 to 35.

Despite the charges, officials said they were still unsure of one critical question: whether any of the suspects was technically capable of assembling and detonating liquid explosives while airborne.

A chemist involved in that part of the inquiry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was sworn to confidentiality, said HMTD, which can be prepared by combining hydrogen peroxide with other chemicals, “in theory is dangerous,” but whether the suspects “had the brights to pull it off remains to be seen.”

While officials and experts familiar with the case say the investigation points to a serious and determined group of plotters, they add that questions about the immediacy and difficulty of the suspected bombing plot cast doubt on the accuracy of some of the public statements made at the time.

“In retrospect,’’ said Michael A. Sheehan, the former deputy commissioner of counterterrorism in the New York Police Department, “there may have been too much hyperventilating going on.”

Some of the suspects came to the attention of Scotland Yard more than a year ago, shortly after four suicide bombers attacked three subway trains and a double-decker bus in London on July 7, 2005, a coordinated attack that killed 56 people and wounded more than 700. The investigation was dubbed “Operation Overt.’’

The Police Are Tipped Off

The police were apparently tipped off by informers. One former British counterterrorism official, who was working for the government at the time, said several people living in Walthamstow, a working-class neighborhood in East London, alerted the police in July 2005 about the intentions of a small group of angry young Muslim men.

Walthamstow is best known for its faded greyhound track and the borough of Waltham Forest, where more than 17,000 Pakistani immigrants live in the largest Pakistani enclave in London.

Armed with the tips, MI5, Britain’s domestic security services, began an around-the-clock surveillance operation of a dozen young men living in Walthamstow — bugging their apartments, tapping their phones, monitoring their bank transactions, eavesdropping on their Internet traffic and e-mail messages, even watching where they traveled, shopped and took their laundry, according to senior British officials.

The initial focus of the investigation was not about possible terrorism aboard planes, but an effort to see whether there were any links between the dozen men and the July 7 subway bombers, or terrorist cells in Pakistan, the officials said.

The authorities quickly learned the identity of the man believed to have been the leader of the cell, the unemployed man in his mid-20’s, who traveled at least twice within the past year to Pakistan, where his activities are still being investigated.

Last June, a 22-year-old Walthamstow resident, who is among the suspects arrested Aug. 10, paid $260,000 cash for a second-floor apartment in a house on Forest Road, according to official property records. The authorities noticed that six men were regularly visiting the second-floor apartment that came to be known as the “bomb factory,” according to a British official and the person briefed about the case.

Two of the men, who were likely the bomb-makers, were conducting a series of experiments with chemicals, said the person briefed on the case.

MI5 agents secretly installed video and audio recording equipment inside the apartment, two senior British officials said. In a secret search conducted before the Aug. 10 raids, agents had discovered that the inside of batteries had been scooped out, and that it appeared several suspects were doing chemical experiments with a sports drink named Lucozade and syringes, the person with knowledge of the case said. Investigators have said they believe that the suspects intended to bring explosive chemicals aboard planes inside sports drink bottles.

In that apartment, according to a British official, one of the leaders and a man in his late 20’s met at least twice to discuss the suspected plot, as MI5 agents secretly watched and listened. On Aug. 9, just hours before the police raids occurred in 50 locations from East London to Birmingham, the two men met again to discuss the suspected plot and record a martyrdom video.

As one of the men read from a script before a videocamera, he recited a quotation from the Koran and ticked off his reasons for the “action that I am going to undertake,” according to the person briefed on the case. The man said he was seeking revenge for the foreign policy of the United States, and “their accomplices, the U.K. and the Jews.” The man said he wanted to show that the enemies of Islam would never win this “war.”

Beseeching other Muslims to join jihad, he justified the killing of innocent civilians in America and other Western countries because they supported the war against Muslims through their tax dollars. They were too busy enjoying their Western lifestyles to protest the policies, he added. Though British officials usually release little information about continuing investigations, Scotland Yard took the unusual step of disclosing some detailed information about the investigation last Monday, when the suspects were charged.

A Trove of Evidence

“There have been 69 searches,” Mr. Clarke, the chief antiterrorist police official from Scotland Yard, said Monday. “These have been in houses, flats and business premises, vehicles and open spaces.”

Investigators also seized more than 400 computers, 200 mobile phones and 8,000 items like memory sticks, CD’s and DVD’s. “The scale is immense,” Mr. Clarke said. “Inquiries will span the globe.”

He said those searches revealed a trove of evidence, and officials and others last week provided additional details.

Four of the law firms that are defending suspects declined to comment.

When police officers knocked down the door to the second-floor apartment on Forest Road, they found a plastic bin filled with liquid, batteries, nearly a dozen empty drink bottles, rubber gloves, digital scales and a disposable camera that was leaking liquid, the person with knowledge of the case said. The camera might have been a prototype for a device to smuggle chemicals on the plane.

In the pocket of one of the suspects, the police found the computer memory stick that showed he had looked up airline schedules for flights from London to the United States, a British official said. The man is said to have had a diary that included a list that the police interpreted as a step-by-step plan for an attack. The items included batteries and Lucozade bottles. It also included a reminder to select a date.

In the homes of a number of the suspects, the police found jihadist literature and DVD’s about “genocide” in Iraq and Palestine, according to British officials. In one house searched by the police in Walthamstow, the authorities found a copy of a book called “Defense of the Muslim Lands.”

A “last will and testament” for one of the accused was said to have been found at his brother’s home. Dated Sept. 24, 2005, the will concludes, “What should I worry when I die a Muslim, in the manner in which I am to die, I go to my death for the sake of my maker.” God, he added, can if he wants “bless limbs torn away!!!”

Looking for Global Ties

In addition, the British authorities are scouring the evidence for clues to whether there is a global dimension to the suspected plot, particularly the extent to which it was planned, financed or supported in Pakistan, and whether there is a connection to remnants of Al Qaeda. They are still trying to determine who provided the cash for the apartment and the computer equipment and telephones, officials said.

Several of the suspects had traveled to Pakistan within weeks of the arrests, according to an American counterterrorism official.

At a minimum, investigators say at least one of the suspects’ inspiration was drawn from Al Qaeda. One of the suspects’ “kill-as-they-kill” martyrdom video was taken from a November 2002 fatwa by Osama bin Laden.

British officials said many of the questions about the suspected plot remained unanswered because they were forced to make the arrests before Scotland Yard was ready.

The trigger was the arrest in Pakistan of Rashid Rauf, a 25-year-old British citizen with dual Pakistani citizenship, whom Pakistani investigators have described as a “key figure” in the plot.

In 2000, Mr. Rauf’s father founded Crescent Relief London, a charity that sent money to victims of last October’s earthquake in Pakistan. Several suspects met through their involvement in the charity, a friend of one of them said. Last week, Britain froze the charity’s bank accounts and opened an investigation into possible “terrorist abuse of charitable funds.” Leaders of the charity have denied the allegations.

Several senior British officials said the Pakistanis arrested Rashid Rauf without informing them first. The arrest surprised and frustrated investigators here who had wanted to monitor the suspects longer, primarily to gather more evidence and to determine whether they had identified all the people involved in the suspected plot.

But within hours of Mr. Rauf’s arrest on Aug. 9 in Pakistan, British officials heard from intelligence sources that someone connected to him had tried to contact some of the suspects in East London. The message was interpreted by investigators as a possible signal to move forward with the plot, officials said.

“The plotters received a very short message to ‘Go now,’ ” said Franco Frattini, the European Union’s security commissioner, who was briefed by the British home secretary, John Reid, in London. “I was convinced by British authorities that this message exists.”

A senior British official said the message from Pakistan was not that explicit. But, nonetheless, investigators here had to change their strategy quickly.

“The aim was to keep this operation going for much longer,” said a senior British security official who requested anonymity because of confidentiality rules. “It ended much sooner than we had hoped.”

From then on, the British government was driven by worst-case scenarios based on a minimum-risk strategy.

British investigators worried that word of Mr. Rauf’s arrest could push the London suspects to destroy evidence and to disperse, raising the possibility they would not be able to arrest them all. But investigators also could not rule out that there could be an unknown second cell that would try to carry out a similar plan, officials said.

Mr. Clarke, as the country’s top antiterrorism police official in London with authority over police decisions, ordered the arrests.

But it was left to Mr. Reid, who has been home secretary since May and is a former defense secretary, to decide at emergency meetings of police, national security and transport leaders, what else needed to be done. Mr. Reid and Mr. Clarke declined repeated requests for interviews.

Prime Minister Tony Blair was on vacation in Barbados, where he was said to have monitored events in London; Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott did not attend the meeting.

“While the arrests were unfolding, the Home Office raised Britain’s terror alert level to “critical,” as the police continued their raids of suspects’ homes and cars. All liquids were banned from carry-on bags, and some public officials in Britain and the United States said an attack appeared to be imminent. In addition to Mr. Stephenson’s remark that the attack would have been “mass murder on an unimaginable scale,” Mr. Reid said that attacks were “highly likely” and predicted that the loss of life would have been on an “unprecedented scale.”

Two weeks later, senior officials here characterized the remarks as unfortunate. As more information was analyzed and the British government decided that the attack was not imminent, Mr. Reid sought to calm the country by backing off from his dire predictions, while defending the decision to raise the alert level to its highest level as a precaution.

In lowering the threat level from critical to severe on Aug. 14, Mr. Reid acknowledged: “Threat level assessments are intelligence-led. It is not a process where scientific precision is possible. They involve judgments.”

Re: Censorship huh?

Wow!

Quite an entry!

Geez, I don’t know now what? Techdirt must censor as well.

Actually, if the NYT wants to respect British law, so be it. Clearly, though it seems it won’t make a bit of difference.

Seems we have something similar in our laws that a juror must not be biased by news of a trial or related information.

Copy?Right... says:

Re: Re: Censorship huh?

I was just trying to show that it is nearly impossible to censor something “locally” in a global medium. If they truly didn’t want people in the UK to access it, then the censorship should have come from the UK … not from the source.

The fact that the article was *published* in a global media makes it nearly impossible to censor, especially when you point to it and mention that you’ve “censored” it.

Sorry to abuse bandwidth, but I think my point was made. If you make content available on a global medium – whether it be music, video, print or otherwise – don’t expect that everyone will make use of it for the purpose which it was intended.

Not saying says:

Re: Stupid dumb idiot

How stupid are you? How many people in the U.K. do you think will read this now you’ve posted it here? And what exactly do you suppose that a judge is going to say about it?

Fact is that because this story has been published openly on the Internet (and the New York Times is squarely to blame for doing so), it’s possible that these terrorists might be able to argue that their trial is not fair, and as a result, walk free!

If that happens, perhaps we should round up all the idiots like you who think it’s more important to stick two fingers up at perceived “censorship” and make you all fly back and forth across the Atlantic whilst simultaneously removing all security measures from flights in both directions.

I want to be safe, and the only way that will happen is if these people are locked up. That isn’t going to happen if head-in-the-sand twits like you (and the New York Times, who published this in the first place) behave in such a stupid and irresponsible manner.

Anonymous Coward says:

so does this mean it didn't make the hard copy?

because if the story is in the hard copy and its available in most hotels in Britain (which I believe it is) then doesn’t that do the same thing?

Censorship doesn’t work, period.

Pretty silly play by NYT, nor surprising, nor worth second-guessing why they did it.

CNN and FOX won’t censor it, I’m pretty sure.

Pete (user link) says:

sensorship: is it possible in this day and age

Its funny that how the NY times boast about blocking British internet users from accessing their article about the suspected terrorists. People will always find a way around. Some other site or blog will pick up that story. The net is very viral and with so many blogs out there now. I mean give me a break. The internet is free and anyone at anytime can access anything anywhere.

Wingfat (profile) says:

So Many Way around blocking..

there are so many ways to get around blocking of that sort. It is almost like working at a job site that blocks all sports pages. you can get around the blocking and view the sports pages all you want very very easy to do. i dont get why China even tries to block things with these easy to use applications on other web sites that allow you to view other webs sites in them.
Can any one say “Cashed Search Pages?” I know the Google ones will not work with some blocking programs. but thank who ever it maybe that MS is still around. Check out the MSN Beta search site: http://beta.search.msn.com/
with that search page you can serach on a “blocked” subject and then right click on the Cashed page and open in new window. The new page will be opening from MSN.com and not the site you are trying to check out. One problem is Framed Pages do not work so well.. aslo check out this site for viewing of pages that get blocked in Cashed: http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/vischeckURL.php
I found this site for a color blind friend that was trying to make a MySpage page and he wanted me to check out the colors. i found that with this site you can plug in any URL you want.. it works about 80% of them time. it takes a minute or two as it copies the page from the other server and saves it on theirs for the day for you to go back and view when you want. the colors are off becasue it shows you how a page is viewed from a color blind prospective.

eva (user link) says:

it just shows how laws about information must chan

I live in Spain but my internet connection at work goes through the UK – so I can’t read the article, which is unfair, because I am not in the UK and therefore British law should not affect my ability to read the article.

But I just used Tor (http://tor.eff.org/) to bypass this and access the NYTimes article, and if I just did, anybody who actually lives in the UK can read it as well.

So what’s the point of this law that restricts access to information to UK residents when the same info is available everywhere else?!? Obsolete at least.

brian says:

Blocked terror article

As a Brit (who in theory could well be called as a juror if trials start) I can see the point of keeping these details away from the public in the UK. I have now found and read the article, and I’m halfway to guilty verdicts already. The big worry is just as a couple of posters have already stated – that if these guys are tried and convicted for these (alleged) crimes, their lawyers will get them off on an “unfair trial” argument. For the same reason, suspects being moved around in this country always have their upper bodies covered in a blanket – this means that any identification evidence can’t be undermined by the claim that “he/she saw him/her on television”. It has always amazed me that in (it seems) the rest of the world evreyone can see pictures and videos of suspects before a trial even starts and thus gets a mental “fix” on the “perpetrator”.

As a result thereof it is quite possible that there may be dramatic hundred times (100%) Increase in the Incidences of Terrorism and Suicide Bombing in the near future. For the sake of World Peace, I therefore request the International Community to provide me an Opportunity to explain to them, the root causes of World Terrorism and Suicide Bombings as to take bold steps to put an end to its basic causes. In Nutshell instead of using Brute Force, try to solve the matter through Table Talk. I should convince those who are on the wrong track that they are their Well – wisher and are interested to develop Friendship for mutual Progress.

Agha Dilbar,s Urgent Peace Letter No. 3) Subject: Make the UN Peace Force strongest force of the World to save The World coming from on 3rd World War and State Terrorism, I Agha Dilbar warns the World Community that Israel should be Stopped from genocide and atrocities committed in Palestine and Labnan, In the wake of these Atrocities there must be more Suicidal Bombing and many other Horrible Incidences like 9/11 Attacks due to revenge, which can cause 3rd World War Any time.1) To begin the coming 3rd World War the owners of many Armament producing Factories are playing their roll very actively; so that they can get New Orders after the old stock get exhausted during the 3rd World War. I am putting on alert, UN, Head of States, Parliaments, Political Parties, TV News Channels, International Newspapers and Magazines, Universities, Think Tanks, Amnesty International and welfare NGO,s all over the World, that afterThe3rd World War the Progress and Prosperity of all the Rich, Developed, Under Developed, Poor and Backward Countries of the World will become a dream In the wake of their Economic Crisis.3) Current Powerful, Rich and Developed Nations should keep in mind, That Even if they conquer the Weak Poor and Backward Nations their Armies will Have to face an upended Gorilla War in the occupied regions for the Next Five, Ten or Twenty Years, which might result in the destruction of? Their Defense Power and Economy. Here is a live example of Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq.4) According to Agha Dilbar strategy, the entire giant disputes of the World Like Palestine, Kashmir Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq could only be solved Through UN Peace Force, after making it the strongest force in the World.

My message to UN is to crush the State Terrorism through UN Peace Force in Kashmir, Palestine and Chechnya. Also in the war affected areas. UN Peace Force should make practical efforts to solve Disputes with Table Talk, through Friendship Progress and Prosperity; All over the World .I hope the UN would be successful by implementing my Great Peace Plan, Friendship, Progress and Prosperity in disputed countries all over the World. If UN failed to bring Peace in these countries then 3rd World War and World Terrorism would be resulting in death of Twenty Crore People and Complete destruction of World Economy. Remember as per my research the next 3rd World War would not be an Atomic War, but it will be fought through traditional newly invented Dangerous Weapons. There will be no doubt that Developed and Rich Countries Forces Equipped with newly invented Dangerous Weapons will win the 3rd World War. In case of starting 3rd World War, Developing Countries and their Survival Countries involved in the long Gorilla War for their survival. Resultantly the World Community will totally collapse. Therefore in view above stated positions, the Developed Countries, possessing Fatal Weapons Should, instead of conquering the Under Developed, Poor Countries by Force, May achieve the goal through Friendship, Progress and Prosperity with the help of UN, so that permanent World Peace should be brought.
