The weekend arrests of a Mumbai terror attack suspect who hid in Britain, three Afghan ‘refugees’ in America, and the guilty plea of yet another Islamist in Canada, have highlighted the growing security problem which mass Third World immigration poses to all First World nations.

In the first of the three dramatic arrests over the past three days, Birmingham-based Mumbai terror suspect Raheel Shaikh was finally found by police after initially having gone to ground amongst that city’s large Muslim population. Shaikh was able to hide amongst his co-religionists in Birmingham until December last year, when he apparently managed to slip out of the country and travel to India.

Police say he was instrumental in helping plot the massacre in Mumbai where Islamist terrorists attacked tourist hotels. Before the attack, in which 170 people were killed, the Islamists were told to specifically “target white people,” the only surviving gunman told police interrogators.

Shaikh, who has also been to a 2006 train bombing in India that killed 209 people, has now finally been arrested in India. The worrying aspect is that he was able to hide so long in Birmingham, where, it would be presumed, policing and surveillance methods would be higher than in India.

In America, the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested three ‘refugees’ from Afghanistan in connection with a terrorist investigation. Federal authorities in Colorado arrested Najibullah Zazi, 24, and his father, Mohammed Wali Zazi, 53, the Justice Department said. The third man, Ahmad Wais Afzali, 37, was apprehended in New York.

The FBI is investigating other individuals in the US, Pakistan and elsewhere relating to a plot “to detonate improvised explosive devices” in the US, according to affidavits.

The younger Zazi was found to have a mobile phone video of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Federal agents searched Najibullah Zazi’s rental car on 11 September near a residence in Flushing, New York, and found a laptop computer containing an image of nine pages of handwritten notes.

The notes “contain formulations and instructions regarding the manufacture and handling of initiating explosives, main explosives charges, explosives detonators and components of a fusing system,” according to an FBI affidavit filed in connection with Najibullah Zazi’s arrest. He later admitted to authorities that during a trip to Pakistan last year he received training in the use of weapons and explosives at an al-Qaeda facility.

* Meanwhile, in Canada, another suspect in the “Toronto 18″ terrorism case yesterday pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge.

Islamist Ali Dirie pleaded guilty to one count of participating in a terrorist group after he was charged with being a peripheral player in a plot that targeted southern Ontario landmarks.

Dirie had been arrested and convicted of a gunrunning charge before the training camp and bomb plot in which other suspects are accused of participating. He still faces a charge involving smuggling a handgun across the Canada–US border.

Dirie is the second adult to plead guilty in as many months in the Toronto terrorism conspiracy that sparked the high-profile arrests of Islamists across the city.

After a surprise guilty plea last month, confessed bomb-plotter Saad Khalid was sentenced early this month to 14 years in prison after admitting he was part of a scheme to explode truck bombs in downtown Toronto. Khalid was caught unloading boxes marked “ammonium nitrate” from the back of a truck.

In what was considered the first successful conviction on Canada’s 2001 anti-terrorism laws, another Islamist was found guilty a year ago of attending a makeshift terrorism training camp north of Toronto. A further eight adults arrested in the case will face trial in the new year.

The only way the worldwide Islamist terrorist threat can be combated is by halting and reversing Third World immigration. The Islamist threat will remain present as long as the West allows Islamists to immigrate into European nations.
