'Terror Suspects Are Still At Large'(Glasgow & London)
Sky News (UK) ^ | July 1, 2007

The majority of five terror suspects being held in police custody in connection with bomb attacks in London and Glasgow are not British and at least one is still at large, according to Sky sources.

Two men were arrested after ramming a car into Glasgow Airport on Saturday and a 26-year-old man and 27-year-old woman have been arrested on the M6 near Sandbach in Cheshire.

A fifth terror related arrest was made in Liverpool after a car was stopped in the Lime Street area of the city.

Sky sources say most of the suspects are not British and at least one other suspect remains at large.

Meanwhile a suspect car has been blown up by police in the grounds of the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where one of the suspects from the Glasgow airport attack is in a critical condition and being held under armed guard.

The hospital was cordoned off and army disposal experts called in to carry out the controlled explosion.

Strathclyde Police said they believed the car was connected to the attack at Glasgow airport but did not contain explosives.

During the airport attack, two men rammed a burning Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal, leaving passengers screaming in terror.

It has since emerged the car was packed with gas canisters which would have caused massive casualties if they had exploded.

While the driver is in hospital being treated for burns, the second man in the car, a 27-year-old, is in police custody.

Assistant Chief Constable John Malcolm is appealing for information on the movements of the Jeep, registration L808 RDT.

He said: "I need information regarding sightings of this vehicle in the past few weeks and in particular the past few days."

He said the force was reviewing CCTV footage from the airport and was receiving up to "100 calls an hour" from the public.

The attack follows the attempted bombings in London early on Friday morning, when two Mercedes packed with petrol and nails were parked in London's West End near the Tiger Tiger nightclub.

Meanwhile homes in Sunningdale Grove, in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire have been raided as police widen their net in the search

Homes in Houston, near Glasgow, are also being searched by Strathclyde Police.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said the links between the three attacks were becoming "ever clearer".

He said: "We are learning a great deal about the people involved in the attacks and are pursuing new lines of inquiry."

The government has raised Britain's terror alert level to critical, meaning an attack is expected imminently.

Searching for My Father's Lost City

Before we fled, Cairo was a cosmopolitan
crossroads. How much still remains?

online.wsj.com

"My father, who had lived in Egypt since the turn of the century, had been a prosperous businessman and pleasure seeker who gambled with King Farouk. My mother was a teacher and librarian in a private school supported by a Pasha and his wife. I attended the tony Lycée Français du Caire where at five, I wore a grey uniform with a crest. We left a year later, when my father, who had tried to hold on, succumbed to pressure from my older siblings who felt there was no future for them in Egypt.

The anger against British dominance and government corruption culminated with the overthrow of King Farouk in July, 1952 by a group of military officers. Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, a leader of the coup, took over in 1954 and set out to remake Egypt. Neither foreigners nor Jews were welcome -- even those who were born there or had lived there for decades. They were forced out as Nasser nationalized industries, sequestered businesses and put military people in charge. Driven in part by idealism, he instituted land reforms that took land away from the rich and imposed rent control laws to protect the poor. Positioning himself as leader of the Arab world, he allied himself with the Soviets, socialized Egypt's economy and waged several wars against Israel.

One upon a time, Cairo had more than 30 working synagogues, along with dozens of small "shuls" where men gathered to pray and study. There were Jewish schools, nursing homes, an Hôpital Israelite and a vast ancient Jewish cemetery where mystics were buried. These days, only about a dozen synagogues are left in Cairo and most lie vacant and neglected. The cemetery has been plundered of most marble headstones, so that it is almost impossible to identify graves of loved ones.

Jewish institutions fall under Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities."
