France jails 25 for Muslim terror plot

Of course the BBC fail to mention that they are Muslims. The only time Muslims are mentioned in the BBC article is when their lawyer portrays them as victims - natch.

Benhamed's lawyer Isabelle Coutant claimed the verdicts were political and "profit the United States, Algeria and Russia".

"They have been convicted because they are Muslims," she said.

Really?

When it was raided in December 2002, the court heard, the group was "close to action".

Police found gas canisters, fuses and a chemical protection suit in the northern Paris suburbs of La Corneuve and Romainville.

In a second wave of arrests about a year later in Venissieux, in south-east France, chemical products including ricin were discovered.

Notice how the BBC portray these convicted Muslims.

A French court has jailed 25 alleged Islamist militants for planning attacks in France in support of Chechen rebels.

Heh, maybe they were plumbers.

Canada recently broke up a 17 man Muslim terrorist cell.

TORONTO, June 3 -- Canadian intelligence agents and police have arrested 17 people who had amassed a huge cache of explosives and were ready to bomb public targets, authorities said Saturday.

The 12 men and five juveniles were seized in raids Friday night in the suburbs of Toronto. Police said the suspects, most of whom were believed to be Canadian citizens, had assembled three tons of ammonium nitrate and fashioned a cellphone into a detonator.

All of which is probably making British police a bit jumpy.
