Scotland is not exempt from threat of extremists from The Times Online

Now that thinking is changing. Suddenly we have been confronted with the possibility of a home-grown attack. What has happened? Could British Muslims organise carnage on the scale of Madrid or Bali? While London is still regarded as the terrorist target of choice, experts warn that such an attack could occur anywhere in Britain, including Scotland.

Last week John Vine, chief constable of Tayside police and president of the Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland, warned that despite the best efforts of police and security agencies, public safety could not be guaranteed.

Such is the heightened possibility of an atrocity on Scottish soil that a document — codenamed Operation Prism — is being drawn up by senior police officers.


This is something I have been saying for a long time and most people just brush it off. Scotland has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism they say. When I point out the mosque in Edinburgh that preaches Wahabbism (bin Landen's brand of Islam) and it's connection to Dundee, they laugh and say I am nuts. Well dear friends wake up and read on.

Dundee has gained a reputation as a fertile breeding ground for Islamic fundamentalists.

Last year it emerged that Norien Sajeel, a Scottish primary school teacher in her twenties, born and raised in the city, was also leader of Pakistan’s Sister Division, the women’s branch of Al-Muhajiroun.

In the wake of the Bali bombing, which left more than 180 dead, one of the eight suspects was Shamsul Bahri Hussein, a graduate of Dundee University.

Driven by what they see as the humiliation of Muslims in Palestine and the US-led — but British-supported — invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, some have found religious justification for their anger and hatred in the heretical Islamic theologies expounded by Osama Bin Laden. Al-Qaeda and its affiliates are calling for attacks on Britain and other “Crusader” countries.


And why do you suppose they want "home grown" terrorist like these and the latest ones arrested in London? No immigration problems or tracking of imconnimg immigrants.
