Scotland Yard police warns London of Mumbai style terrorist attack in January

Scotland Yard is the Metropolitan Police Force responsible for law enforcement within Greater London. The Times reported today that Scotland Yard has just warned London of possible Mumbai (India) style attack in London early next year. The Times went onto report that Scotland Yard senior detective has issued a stern warning with words “Mumbai is coming to London”.

Mumbai, the financial headquarters of India, back in Nov 2008, was hit with 10 coordinated shooting, bombing and hostage taking attack by terrorists from Pakistan. As reported by wikepedia, 8 of these attacks happened in South Mumbai, and the targets included the extremely busy Chartrapati Sivaji Bus Terminal of Mumbai, most popular hotels and café’s like the Taj Mahal Palace, the Oberoi Trident, a busy Cinema theater, a popular hospital, all located in the area of Mumbai considered as “Wall street of Mumbai”. The attacks and hostage taking lasted for 3 days from Nov 26th 2008 to Nov 29th 2008.

It should be extremely concerning to the President of USA and Prime Minister of London that Scotland Yard is reporting increased chatter about a possible Mumbai style terrorist attack in London early next year.

Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network has witnessed the fact that President Obama is not as keen as President Bush on fighting terrorism. They have seen that President Obama doesn’t even like to use the words “War on Terror”, and has abolished the use of these words, and instead labeled it as “Man caused disaster”. Al Qaeda has seen that the current President of USA is so weak that he is willing go give Miranda rights to the terrorists, as if they are soldiers of a sovereign nation. Al Qaeda has also seen how friendly President Obama is to the hard core terrorists imprisoned in camp Gitmo. As a result, Al Qaeda is motivated and energized.

The citizens of America can only hope President Obama will act hard against the terrorists, and continue to fight the “war on terror”, like President Bush.
