Al Qaeda planning to dress up suicide bombers as Sikhs

ANI Posted online: Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 at 1203 hrs

London : Al Qaeda is planning to dress up suicide bombers as Sikhs and security chiefs fear that Muslim extremists may hide the explosives inside Sikh headgear. Al-Qaida is plotting to dress like Sikhs to exploit religious sensitivities about removing traditional clothing.

A security source said: “Dressing as a Sikh may give would-be suicide bombers the edge in getting past checkpoints. Security agents on the ground have been warned to be vigilant. Thorough body pat-downs are now regular practice, but the head area may be open to exploitation.”

“Ceramic weapons are also a concern, but we are working hard to deal with the threat,” the source said The new fears come after the UK terror alert status was raised last weekend from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe.’

Al-Qaeda thugs know Muslims may face extra scrutiny at security checkpoints so Osama bin Laden is even believed to have sent two beautiful women suicide bombers to target this week’s anti-terror summit in London. Last night Sikh groups acknowledged fanatics could use headgear worn by Sikh men with long hair in a bid to escape detection.

Dr Inderjit Singh, Director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, said: “It is credible that a terrorist may attempt to use a turban to hide weapons or explosives, but in practice Sikhs are searched much like anyone else.

Funny this has only been reported on indian websites.

How come no major UK news site has reported this. Indian media is once again trying to cause trouble for sikhs.

My question is, patting is useless. Smugglers hide things you know there so how is patting going to prevent anything. Body scanners are the way to go, most airports will introduce that so there should be no need to check turbans.

I think sikh channel and sikhs outside UK should raise this issue anytime indian media makes false claims cos if we dont stop them then this will only give excuses for countries like France etc to ban dastars.

ALL A LOAD OF RUBBISH - WEIRD HOW ONLY THE HINDU INDIAN ' ANI ' NEWS AGENCY HAS THIS NEWS UP No other Western News Channels say this the very SAME 'ANI' which has around 10 Videos against KHALISTAN on Youtube and has been upping its Anti Sikh Anti KHALISTAN activity on Youtube in the last 6th months for no reason - all you have to do is go to their youtube page.

Another attempt by the irresponsible Hindu Indian Media - to make life harder for Western Sikhs - so we get harrassed and searched more - as if their stupid news reports on Youtube about Sikhs being terrorists aint doing enough damage

Down with the Indian Hindu Media!!

Bodyscanners are definately the way forward as then there is no excuse to single Sikhs aside to search them.

The recent plane bombing attempt in the US involved explosives hidden in underwear. Does this justify searching every air travellers underwear?

Media are just scaremongering using Sikhs.
