British Muslims 'Planned To Kill Thousands By Bringing Down SEVEN Transatlantic Airliners In One Go

A gang of British Muslims planned to blow up seven planes within hours in the biggest terrorist atrocity since 9/11, a court heard yesterday. Two thousand passengers would have died in the plot by eight fanatics working "in the name of Islam", the jury was told.It could have involved up to 18 suicide bombers. And they were almost ready to strike. The jets they targeted would all have been bound from Heathrow to cities in the U.S. and Canada, it was claimed.Once the first had exploded the authorities would have had to watch, powerless, as the six others were downed. Plastic soft-drink bottles were to be the murder weapon - filled with explosive and connected to a detonator.The alleged plot led to a ban on liquid containers bigger than 100ml which is still in force at UK airports.Had it been successful, the death toll would have far eclipsed the 52 killed on July 7, 2005, when four suicide bombers detonated their rucksacks on the London transport system. And if the conspirators chose to blow themselves up over land, the number of casualties in the air and on the ground could have exceeded the Twin Towers attacks in which nearly 3,000 died.

Video raises questions about excessive force...man tasered in vehicle

Dramatic video caught by a news crew is forcing local police to answer some tough questions about proper procedure. The actions of a police officer captured on video are under review by the District Attorney for Washington County. An NBC15 news crew was in McIntosh for a different story when they caught the scene on camera.

McIntosh Police say the chase started as a routine traffic stop and quickly accelerated when Ronald Lee Reed would not stop his truck. When the police caught up with Reed, Officer Blaine Barnett fired a taser into Reed's truck. Barnett then pulled Reed out, threw him to the ground, and punched him one time on the side of the head. The video also shows Barnett slamming Reed's face into the asphalt street three times.

NBC15 News spoke with Billy Lathan who was standing with us and also witnessed the arrest. "Down to the ground! He pushed him down to the ground and got down on him. I reckon they handcuffed him," said Lathan.

Reed didn't spend the night in jail, though. He walked away with two misdemeanor citations for reckless driving and possession of marijuana.
Officers searched Reed's truck, but according to a court clerk, the citation says only a "small amount of green substance (was found and) presumed to be marijuana."

So, why use of the taser, the punch and the suspect's head being slammed to the street when Reed was cited for minor offenses?

For more than a week, NBC15 News has been trying to get someone from the McIntosh Police to talk about the tape, to see if proper procedure was followed. The chief wouldn't talk. The chief's name is Michael Barnett... and he's Officer Blaine Barnett's father.

The District Attorney has also not returned any of our calls.

As for suspect Ronald Reed and his family, they told us they did not want to talk on camera. His parents say they'll wait until they have consulted an attorney first, but they too are concerned the force used against their son was excessive.

One other point over which there is some confusion concerns a question as to which agency Officer Barnett was working for at the time of Reed's arrest. The McIntosh Police chief says he was working for the drug task force, a division of the district attorney's office. But the task force says he had quit the day before the incident and was working as a McIntosh Police officer, where he continues to work.

Obama Attended Hate America Sermon

The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 PM. Our writer, Jim Davis, says he attended several services at Senator Obama's church during the month of July, including July 22.

The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time. While both the early morning and evening service allowed Sen. Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat through the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story. Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama's attendance. Mr. Davis' story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007. Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Sen. Obama several times for comment about the Senator's attendance and Rev. Wright's comments during his sermon. The Senator's office declined to comment.
