2006 comments

Hello, everybody:

This article is rather fuzzy. Let me cite just one example:

"Some sources have reported that at least one man involved in the 7 July 2005 London bombings, which killed more than fifty people, had a connection with those arrested in Operation Crevice."

What are the sources? Can we have them pinned directly to the above sentence? Or is there just one source? And, if so, what is it?

I'll probably eliminate that sentence and maybe some others if the sources are not made clearer. The average reader, including me, doesn't have time to wade through the sources given at the bottom.

Sincerely,

Source is Nicolas Sarkozy in the Scotsman article. Hope this helps. 13 August 2006

I've added some details from the BBC website. This makes it a little clearer what we are talking about. Anthony.moore 22:54, 15 August 2006

Fix the title

The name Operation Crevice is utterly dreadful. Can we rename it to something like the Crawley Fertilizer Bomb Plot, so it is consistent with all the other terrorist plots that are getting listed in List of terrorist incidents in the United Kingdom#Arrests, detentions, and other terrorist related incidents?

it's dreadful, arlight - but it's the name the Met police chose, sadly. Mokwella 21:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Five guilty

Omar Khyam, 26, from Crawley, West Sussex, was found guilty of conspiring to cause explosions likely to endanger life between 1 January 2003 and 31 March 2004.

Also convicted were Waheed Mahmood, 34, and Jawad Akbar, 23, also of Crawley; Salahuddin Amin, 31, from Luton, Bedfordshire; Anthony Garcia, 24, of Barkingside, east London.

From the BBC [1] also there are links to the 7/7 bombers. Hypnosadist 10:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff. Excellent news. Shame we can't get this article featured in the front page news section. Jamie 14:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated it for the ITN (in the news) section of the front page, interested editors can go to [2].

Another Terrorist Guilty

[[3]] this article talks about yet another case that has been under reporting resrictions is now in the public domain. Hypnosadist 20:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Longest deliberations

I wish people would bother to at least search before they add unreferenced material. I did a search for 'longest jury deliberations' and what did I find? [4]. 4 months+. This case may be a UK record; it may be a record for a criminal trial; It may be a record for a case where the jurt actually spent their time deliberating rather then sponging off the government. I don't know but anyone trying to add details SHOULD know and have a reference Nil Einne 11:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not the world record for a criminal case either [5] Nil Einne 12:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Verdict

Any info on whether the verdict was unanimous or just a majority? Nil Einne 12:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
