THE Taliban is planning a campaign of Christmas carnage in British cities, a warlord warned yesterday.

Commander Javed Karmazkhel Wazir — of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan — claimed 200 suicide bombers and assassins are ready to launch attacks.

He said: "We have prepared squads of holy warriors who will target people and government facilities in London and other big cities of the UK."

And he said their recruits looked "liberal", adding: "You will not see bearded men or veiled women doing this."

The TTP are furious at US President Barack Obama's recent success in overseeing the death of Osama Bin Laden. And the TTP now has a hitlist of its own — believed to include Obama himself.

The TTP claimed responsibility for a 2009 suicide attack on the CIA and the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010

What happened to the rest of the front page on the link? Did the Sun's imagination run dry?

It reminds me of those pictures of hundreds of Father Christmasses......

Have the Taliban ever been behind attacks in the West before?

They are furious with Barack Obama, so they plan to attack the UK!!

Anybody who complains about the geographically-challenged US citizens had better beware of this group.

Maybe if we get them angry with Japan, they will attack North Korea.

i just hope nothing comes of this and it is a bark without the bite, but you never know, and cannot be to carfull out there

I'm considering buying a burka for my two hour transit in London in December....just to be on the safe side....

Smokie36, please post a few pictures! Let us know which restroom you use and how your trip through airport screening goes.

I'm a little bit nervous about all this. A thousand years ago, we wound ourselves up something dreadful on this topic, and, as I recall, no good came of it. I suppose we ought to remember we are fighting for freedom, not spleen, and plan our strategies accordingly.

I would love to but now censorship has reached the shores of Bedlam I feel I might be better served by keeping my head afloat rather than sniping from the tall buildings.

Flak jackets are of far more use anyway.

if a journàsslist writes "holy warrior" = 'nuff said

I'm reading a John Burdett book about police detective Sonchai at the moment. One sentence struck quite a chord:

"Hindus are easily offended but at least they don't decapitate you like Muslims or ruthlessly exploit your natural resources for 300 years like Christians".

Of course, if you're a missionary, you might be burnt in your car. I forget the man's name... but it happened. And if you're a Muslim, just remember Ayodhya.

All three groups have, from time to time, exploited human beings though.

BINGO! not to talk about India's partition in 1947 when the trains from Delhi to Lahore carried tens of thousands Muslims with their throats slit or heads bashed in and the trains from Lahore to Delhi carried tens of thousands Hindus with the same "procedure" applied.

there is no difference between fundamentalist Hindus and fundamentalist Muslims. anybody who claims that is full of shit possesses a wealth of ignorance and hasn't done his homework.

Just to remind everybody, especially those in the UK for Christmas, that you've got a week to prepare before the Taliban attacks!

This sounds like Marty Feldman taking out an insurance policy for his Guernsey holiday in August, and finding he was not covered for Acts of God.

"Is God very active in Guernsey in the last two weeks in August?" he asked.

Don't need 'em.

There's a million scooters on every road. And almost as many going on the sidewalks.

Thats legal parking - the owners pay 2,000 dong (10c) to the guy sleeping on the corner per day. He then keeps a (closed) eye on the bike for you.

Well, no 200 man attack, they obviously gave up when they realised their evil plan had been found out.

Thank God for The Sun.

If they are following the old Orthodox calendar Christmas Day is Jan 8th, isn't it?

I would half-expect the Taliban to follow the Islamic calendar...

Would Christmas be on it?
