50 Suicide Bombers In UK

From the Times Online:

Britain is harbouring nearly 50 would-be suicide bombers, according to a leading British Islamic radical.

Hassan Butt, a self-styled recruiter of British volunteers for the Islamic holy war, said he had been approached by the men for guidance on how to carry out "martyrdom operations" in Israel.

The warning came after last week's suicide bombing at a bar in Tel Aviv which killed three people. The attack by Asif Mohammed Hanif, from Hounslow, west London, and Omar Khan Sharif, from Derby, was the first suicide strike by British citizens. Hanif blew himself up but Sharif fled when his bomb failed to detonate. He is still on the run.

And thanks to our reader Miceal for the tip.

Worthless little maggot. I'll bet he was wearing one of those cute little vests that are all the rage these days in certain circles. I'm sure there's going to be a sad end to this tune, however, 'cuz I don't think we're going to see him in any fashion show.
