From the Associated Press story on the execution of Jean Charles de Menezes: "Hours
after the shooting, Police Commissioner Ian Blair said the victim was
'directly linked' to the investigations into attacks Thursday and July
7. In the latter, suicide bombings on trains and a bus killed 56
people, including four attackers.
Police initially said the
victim attracted police attention because he left a house that was
under surveillance after Thursday’s bungled bombings, in which devices
planted on three subway trains and a double-decker bus failed to
detonate properly. Stockwell is near Oval station, one of those
targeted.
'He was then followed by surveillance officers to the
station. His clothing and his behavior at the station added to their
suspicions,' police said Friday."
Unbelievable! Clear lying by the Police Commissioner and the police. Note the elaborate details in the police lies from the Knight Ridder story:"Paul
King, a 37-year-old administrator who was politely told to get out of
his apartment by armed police as they searched his building, noted
that, 'it makes you feel a bit jittery.'
According to the
official version of de Menezes' death, police had been watching his
apartment block as part of their search for Thursday's would-be
bombers. When the man emerged, plain-clothes police followed him from
Tulse Hill to the Stockwell station in south London.
Police said they ordered him to halt. Instead, he vaulted the turnstiles and ran onto a train, with police close behind.
The
official report simply states: 'He was then followed by surveillance
officers to the underground station. His clothing and behavior added to
their suspicions.'"
Complete fiction! Had the victim turned out
to be Muslim, we would no doubt have heard the whole constructed story
of his connection to the bombings, the bombs he had strapped to his
body, the excellent work of the police in following him to the scene of
his planned attack, their heroism in stopping it, and a long and
involved tale of how this nice young man was lured into Islamic
extremism by radical Muslims he met at his local mosque. Unfortunately,
he was a Brazilian, picked at random by the British paramilitary police
unit based on the fact that he looked Asian and was wearing a heavy
coat. It appears that they pursued him towards the train and
thus towards people who could have been hurt, forced him onto the
train, and then executed him - with a theatrical five shots - in front
of witnesses. The Israelis aren't just teaching them how to fight
terrorism, they're also teaching them how to fake it. The motive can
only be to inflame Muslim opinion and attempt to create a race war in
Britain. Obviously, this would help the cause of right-wing racists and
the cause of the police, who would gain immense power in the ensuing
panic. It would be interesting to see if there are direct connections
between the paramilitary unit involved in this murder, and extreme
right-wing British racist groups.
