Operation Crevice - cops all over 'bombers' year before 7/7

[Ally]

So Mi5 already had audio recordings of Khan before 7/7. Would have come in handy when constructing his 'confession tape'.

London Intel: Into the 'Crevice'

Feb. 13, 2006 issue - British authorities had at least two of the terrorists who bombed London last July 7 under surveillance in 2004. In an official document examined by NEWSWEEK, a British judge reports that U.K. investigators had pictures and voice recordings of Mohammed Siddique Khan—believed to have been the plot leader—and another suicide bomber, Shahzad Tanweer, meeting several times in February and March 2004 with suspects in an earlier, separate terror plot that U.K. authorities investigated under the code name Operation Crevice. The evidence includes recordings of Khan in a car driven by one Crevice suspect, and evidence showing Khan and Tanweer getting out of a Crevice suspect's car. British media have made only limited references to the evidence because a trial of Crevice suspects is pending, and pretrial publicity is restricted under U.K. law.

After July 7, investigators claimed the four suspected suicide bombers were previously unknown to British intel. But as the investigation evolved, authorities quietly made it known that antiterror investigators, presumably working for the secret counterintelligence agency M.I.5, had run across Khan and Tanweer; British authorities decided at the time that they weren't dangerous enough for continuing surveillance. U.S. law-enforcement officials, who asked not to be named because the investigation continues, told NEWSWEEK the name of a third bomber, Germaine Lindsay, also came up tangentially in Crevice. British authorities initially denied they had heard of him before July 7 but now concede they may have. A U.K. official said Tony Blair's government wouldn't comment for legal reasons.

How surveillance ensnared enemy within
Times Online - Britain

By Stewart Tendler and Daniel McGrory
Operation Crevice led to anti-terrorist raids across London's suburbs.

ANTI-TERRORIST officers had nervously kept their secret for weeks: how close Britain was to a devastating bomb attack. Only a handful of senior figures were trusted with the knowledge that a group of young Britons from half a dozen suburbs around London were finalising their plans to strike.

Thanks for highlighting this info Ally.

Searching for Operation Crevice on clusty.com, I found this article from the Scotsman Online, dated 14th July 2005 . Excepts below:

By the way I hadn't read this part of this board when I wrote that yesterday but it is certainly interesting.

The jury on this trial is to start to consider its verdict on Monday 19th March 2007. Some people, are already predicting that there will be 'embarrassing' revelations' for the UK Security Services that will be aired in public, once the trial is completed (numerous court sessions went unreported due to reporting restrictions, although for those interested, some of the info/analysis that was in the public domain has been captured here).

[Micpsi]

This revelation by Newsweek of prior knowledge by MI5 of at least two of the 7/7 bombers re-inforces the official view that the men were genuine suicide bombers and acts to undermine the view held by many in the 9/11 truth movement that they were patsies used in a black op by one or more intelligence agencies. It's a ploy to strengthen the 'c***-up' theory of what happened.

My theory is as follows: the four men might have been working as informers for MI5, pretending on their behalf to be terrorists so as to be agent provocateurs that would lead the police to genuine terrorists. The men were set up as patsies in an anti-terrorist exercise held on the same morning that turned deadly when real explosives were placed near them in the trains by black op agents who then got off and detonated them using radio transmitters.

Now that the trial associated with the Operation Crevice is in the final stages, I wonder if the original reason cited as the discovery of the alleged plot (interception of communication from the mythical Al-Qaeda bigwig Abu Musab al-Zarqawi) has been considered/reviewed in the courtroom. The case also features connections to Mohammad Sidique Khan.

Below is a copy of a Times article from early April 2004, which is not on-line anymore (the original link is now dead), however a copy remains on-line here.

The Emphasis & Embedded links are mine.

On the day of the Operation Crevice convictions, following a British judical record jury retirement, the date of the eventual conclusion of which nobody could have predicted, could they ?, the compulsorily tax funded on pain of imprisonment, state propaganda machine, aka the Bliar Broadcasting Corporation, this evening broadcasts a Panorama programme about the erm links between Operation Crevice and London 7/7, vis, our insecurity services claims that the alleged London 7/7 suicide bombers were unknown "clean skins", even though Crevice testimony that the jury were not allowed to hear, claimed evidential links between the two plots via MSK.

Not on the published schedules you will understand, it's one they made earlier, as per, just so that the incredibly well informed British public can stay, erm, incredibly well informed.

Did they also make a not guilty version ?

Set your recorders BBC1 19:00. Tonight.

Another Ludicrous Diversion.

[Mark Gobell]

More from the BBC on Crevice.

Home Secretary John Reid has dismissed calls from some MPs and campaigners for an inquiry into the 7 July bombings, saying it would not be the "correct response".

"It would divert the energies and efforts of so many in the security service and police who are already stretched greatly in countering that present threat," he said.

"Our responsibility as a government is to try and minimise the chances of any other group of families ever having to suffer as the families of 7/7 did suffer."

But Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell said: "The information revealed in this trial will spark widespread public concern and debate about the operational capabilities of the security service, and the reliability of government information in the aftermath of the 7 July bombings."

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said MI5's unprecedented decision to rebut the allegations on its website was "not the answer".

Operation Crevice?
funny name for it

The fact that these guys talked about killing innocent people does not make them any less criminals. They fully intended to do it.
They deserve to be punished and imprisoned for a long time because they are dangerous misguided fools.

However, the length of sentances is shockingly heavy, compared with paedophiles and murderers.
IRA murderers as part of the good friday deal were all released early.
But funny enough the Irish innocent victims of justice like the birmingham 6 ended up serving much heavier sentences than the real killers.

Listen to the statement made by Imran Khan outside the Old Bailey on 30th April 2007 made on behalf of the 5 convicted. An audio link is available HERE

The statement contains the following:

[Sinclair]

Salahuddin Amin was a Luton taxi driver who 3 days after the original arrests of the 'Crevice' lot in Luton/Crawley/Ilford etc., handed himself in to the Pakistani police on 2nd April 2004.

He was faciltated by the British Secret Service to be tortured by the Pakistan ISI, and wildly accused (although not in court) of being part of the alleged 'Al Queda' gang (who were) given information while in Pakistan about buying a "radioisotope bomb" from the Russian Mafia in Belgium".

Transcript of statement at the end of the trial, given on behalf of Salahuddin Amin outside the Old Bailey on 30/04/07

---------
This statement is provided on behalf of Salahuddin Amin:

In the name of God, the most compassionate, the merciful.

I am innocent.

An outrageous confidence trick has been played on the jury, and against me.

I was convicted by false evidence and the fruits of torture.

I am innocent.

I told the jury the truth.

I am innocent.

I told the jury I had been tortured and mistreated by the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence services, over a ten month period of illegal detention in Pakistan during 2004.

I told the jury how the British security services were responsible for my illegal detention, mistreatment, and illegal transfer to the UK.

Even though I am a British Citizen, the British government did not lift a finger to protect me from abuse and torture.

In fact, the British authorities made it worse by interrogating me at the same time as knowing I had been tortured.

The British government have been able to hide their shameful involvement in my illegal detention and torture in secret sessions which occurred during the trial.

These hearings cannot be reported to you, the public. They continue to hide behind this veil.

I demand they tell the truth about what they did to me.

I demand the truth about the other people who are still in secret detention and being tortured as part of this misguided war on terror.

I was illegally detained with some of these people. I know that some of them were treated far worse than I was, while British, American, and Canadian intelligence officers stood ready to benefit from the unreliable fruits of torture.

I demand an apology from the head of the security services and the British government about what they did to me.

I demand an explanation as to how this could have happened.

My wrongful conviction has given a green light to those who carry out the heinous act of torture on behalf of civilised western governments.

I will continue to fight to clear my name.

Thank you.

Bluewater Shopping Centre

Another factoid that could be nothing more than an amazing coincidence of course but I thought I'd post it anyway.

One of the Crevice targets is alleged to have been the Bluewater Shopping Centre.

[Mark Gobell]

Canada's Anti Terror legislation became part of the Criminal Code on Dec. 18, 2001.

The Canadian, Mohammad Momin Khawaja, the alleged supplier of electronics for Cervice was the first person to be arrested under the new law.

He was arrested on March 29, 2004

The date of his arrest marked the 119th week of the new criminal code.

Crevice Trial began 21.3.2006

Crevice Trial verdicts 30.4.2007

1 year, 1 month, 9 days.

Probably just coincidences.

Creating The Terror Threat: Mohammed Junaid Babar, Al-Qaida Captain or CIA Agent?
https://hotterthanapileofcurry.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/creating-the-t error-threat-mohammed-junaid-babar-al-qaida-captain-or-cia-agent/

Mohammed Junaid Babar, was apparently the man who trained the idiots behind the 7/7 London bombings. So how do you go from serving a 70-year jail sentence in America, to being released after serving only four and a half years?

Since the war against Islam began almost a decade ago, western intelligence agencies have had their plans revealed in the public domain on several occasions, when one of their Muslim assets have not played the game like their masters have wished.

I’ve been documenting cases under “Creating The Terror Threat” for some time now, to provide you with a map of how the Gladio game is played out.


Junaid Babar is just the latest in a long line of western intelligence trained terrorists.

Rashid Rauf was the British ‘terrorist mastermind’ of the alleged plot to blow up at least 10 transatlantic airliners, but somehow managed to escape from custody, while in handcuffs and shackles.

Jamal al-Badawi was convicted in 2004 of planning and carrying out the USS Cole bombing. He too managed to escape from prison before being pardoned of his crimes.

Omar Al-Faruq was described as being the mastermind of the Bali bomb plot, he was arrested in June 2002 and handed over to the americans.
Former Indonesian State Intelligence Coordinating Board (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo as saying that Al-Faruq was most likely a CIA-recruited agent.
In 2005, a Pentagon official in Washington confirmed that Al-Faruq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan.

Haroon Rashid Aswat was described as being the mastermind of the 7 July London bombings.
The authorities stated that Aswat had made mobile telephone calls to two of the 7 July bombers on the morning of the 7/7 attacks.
After Aswat was handed over to the UK police, Scotland Yard police headquarters said, on 7 August 2005, that detectives were not interested in speaking to Aswat about the London attacks.
Former US federal prosecutor John Loftus claimed that British intelligence had been recruiting “Islamist militants”. Loftus stated that Aswat was a British-backed double agent, pursued by the police but protected by MI6.

Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed (Executive Director of the Institute of Policy Research & Development) has written extensively on this topic.
http://www.voltairenet.org/article162869.html

He wrote a very good account on what I have touched on titled “Our Terrorists”, which should be read by those trying to go beyond understanding the official narrative of the global war against terror.
