'burning cross' theory

* "Suicide bomber Hasib Hussain ate a last meal at McDonald's before blowing up the No. 30 bus on 7 July, killing 13 people. " (link)
i used to love mcdonalds - but i gave it up in (a small) protest against america. i would imagine that a terrorist, presumably 'protesting' britains role in iraq, would also hate america, and ergo would also not associate with american brands. separate to that of course, is the issue that a) he obviously wasnt in a hurry and b) is it conceivable that an 18 year old was hungry at the exact same time he knew that his friends were suiciding and killing a bunch of people? let alone, an hour before his own demise? surely not.

* "Hussain also made a number of telephone calls, at least one of which was to one of his fellow bombers, before carrying out his attack on the bus which exploded in Tavistock Square in central London. There were reports last night he may also have spoken to the other two bombers." (link)
unfortunately these people havent even been able to give us a timeline - but as best we know, the crew were all together at kingscross at 8.28 (maybe later), and 2 of the trainbombers seemed to have got on their respective trains at 8.40 - if you assume that they had to wait a couple of minutes for their trains (on the platforms where they cant receive phone calls), then hussain called at least one, and maybe 3, of his buddies within minutes of leaving them. odd. id love to see the phone statements. i wonder if they exist.

* flashback 2 weeks: "Yet Lindsay's telephone number was stored in Hussain's mobile." - my comment at the time was "did we find an unexploded cell phone all of a sudden? thats news." - so we now know that hussain had his phone with him, *and* it didnt explode.

* and if we go back to jul 22, we were told that the plods couldnt find any timing devices, and therefore they were suiciders. a cell phone is a timing device - they have alarm clocks. i know this to be true. and we now know that at least some of them had cell phones. so their story doesnt hold. LIARS.

* update: heres the guardian: "Hussain, 18, tried to call his accomplices at around 9am, but none answered because they had already killed themselves and 39 other people in their almost simultaneous attacks at 8.50am."
why did the independent leave out this information? the guardian quotes the independent - so someone is doing the karl-rove dial-around. leak a bit here - and then propogate the story with some 'new' 'information'

"Police officers watching hours of CCTV footage now believe that Hussain left King's Cross station to get a signal for his mobile phone to call the others. He is then seen going to a McDonald's restaurant nearby"

can someone please explain that to me? so fucking stupid.

"A terrorism expert, Michael Clarke, of King's College London, told the BBC that the calls showed that Hussain was in a panic and probably rang his accomplices to make sure their bombs had exploded."

fuckwit. panicky people dont go to mcdonalds. and calling his 'accomplices' couldnt have proved anything because they were underground where they couldnt be reached

and heres the Times

"BUS bomber Hasib Hussain lost his nerve and decided not to go through with his mission to blow himself up on a London Tube train, according to a new theory last night.

After having second thoughts, Hussain then took refuge at McDonald’s, in King’s Cross...

Realising then that he was completely alone, he steeled himself to go through with his attack after all. There was by then no possibility of boarding any trains, so Hussain got onto a diverted bus packed with commuters and finally detonated his bomb...

The theory emerged last night after it was revealed that, contrary to earlier reports, there were no problems on the north-bound section of the Northern Line...

The youngest of the July 7 bombers, he made three desperate telephone calls begging for help from the other members of the terror cell minutes before he blew himself up on a London bus.

The frantic last messages are seen by Scotland Yard as vivid proof that the British-born Muslim extremists intended to die in the attacks...

Hussain is believed to have first called Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, the alleged leader of the group, saying: “I can’t get on a train. What should I do ?” Then in quick succession he left the same message for Shehzad Tanweer and Jermaine Lindsay as, clearly agitated about his next move, he hurried away from the station.

A police source who has heard the telephone calls said: “His voice was getting more and more frantic with each call.”

i would imagine that much of the Times' report is pure fabrication. the other 2 articles didnt even mention any voicemails, but the Times managed to speak to some anonymous plod who had heard the vmails. why would yuo ask someone who u presumed to be dead for advice? why is the Times lying? watch how desperate everyone is to fit the new facts to their purported theory - its astonishing (altho im sure im guilty of the same thing at times). and notice the Times trying to perpetuate the 'i cant get on the train' thing - even after the 'new' revelations that the Northern Line was acknowledged to still be open. its amazing that this myth has survived this long - its been apparent for weeks and weeks - it seems that they are still trying to buy into the 'burning cross' theory (from a fake alqaida claim).

i wont bother looking into the details - but when the Times says "After his stop at McDonald’s Hussain climbed on to a passing No 30 double-decker bus in Tavistock Square" - im pretty sure that is false. for starters, the bus exploded in Tavistock Square, which isnt near kings cross - and i dont even think the bus was anywhere near kingscross - that was part of the major questions - remember they couldnt even ascertain where he got onto the bus.

they fucking lie. and people die.

im so scared.
