26 terrorists

[123everton]

26 terrorists were arrested in Belgium last week, they were apparently planning a Christmas bombing campaign.
But I've seen nothing about this in the media.

Why is this?
Their is now evidence to suggest that the group have connections to terrorists in Chechnya, will Britain now review Ahmed Bassayev's asylum status and send him back to Russia to face trial?
Remember Beslan?

The Russian media are reporting it, but curiously, not many others.

Maybe it's because of the snow.

surely that should be a winter holiday bombing campaign!

Because it happened in Europe and our Europephobic press would rather drink broken glass than acknowledge good positive action coming out of Europe

I saw a small piece in one newspaper - I believe it may have been the London Evening Standard.

Whilst I don't agree with the students rioting on the street over their increased Uni. fees, what I do suggest the English students do, and that is to protest peacefully against the abnormality of them paying the highest fees compared with their 2 other fellow British.

I think they have a much better argument from this point of view.

If it wasn't reported in the media how come you know about it then?

And who the hell is "Ahmed Bassayev"??
You aren't confusing "Shamil Basayev", a terrorist who was killed years ago, with Akhmed Zakayev, who is not a terrorist but a genuine political refugee, by any chance?
