I agree, very suspicious. This story comes less than a day after John Reid
says (taken from yesterday's Guardian):

"Sometimes we may have to modify some of our own freedoms in the short
term in order to prevent their misuse and abuse by those who oppose our
fundamental values and would destroy all of our freedoms in the modern world,"
he said.



Mr Reid said Britain was now facing "probably the most sustained period
of severe threat since the end of the second world war" and that the country was
facing a new breed of ruthless "unconstrained international terrorists".



The European human rights convention had been drawn up 50 years ago to protect
against fascist states but now the threat came from "fascist individuals"
unconstrained by such conventions, agreements or standards. Everyone across the
political, media, judicial and public spectrum needed to understand the depth
and magnitude of the threat.

The biggest threat is fascist individuals like John Reid using false flag
events like today's story to justify removing yet more of our civil liberties or
justify yet more pointless wars.
