Khalid Masood was no lone wolf. Authorities ought to be investigating his support system fully: not just his accomplices, but his mosque — where did he learn his ideology of bloodshed and murder?

“Two ‘significant arrests’ made overnight in association to London attack,” CNN, March 24, 2017:

The birth name of the perpetrator of Wednesday’s deadly terrorist attack in central London was Adrian Russell Ajao, Britain’s most senior counterterror police officer said Friday.

The man had been named a day earlier as 52-year-old British man Khalid Masood.

Mark Rowley, the national lead for counterterrorism, said there had been two significant arrests overnight, one in the West Midlands and one in the north west of England.

Nine people remain in custody and one woman has been released on bail, Rowley said.

Police continue to search five addresses and another 16 searches have concluded, in what Rowley said was a fast-moving and wide-ranging investigation.

Officers have seized 2,700 items, including computer data, and have had contact with 3,500 witnesses to the attack, many of them of different nationalities, Rowley said.

The attack left four people dead and injured at least 50 more, 31 of whom needed hospital treatment, Rowley said. Two of those in hospital are in critical condition, one of them with life threatening injuries.

The fourth victim, a 75-year-old man, died Thursday night after his life support was withdrawn at a hospital where he had been receiving treatment, according to London’s Metropolitan Police.

Arrests were made in London and Birmingham, while homes were also searched in Brighton and Carmarthenshire, in west Wales. Police said the addresses were “linked to the investigation” of Wednesday’s attack.

More arrests

A 39-year-old woman was arrested at an address Thursday night in East London on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts, police said. The woman, who has not been named, is being held under the Police and Criminal Evidence (PACE) act.

Six people — two women and four men, their ages ranging from 21 to 28 — were arrested at two addresses in Birmingham, a city in central England. The six were also held on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

Another man, 58, was also arrested Friday morning at another address in Birmingham, and held on the same charge….

“— where did he learn his ideology of bloodshed and murder?”

Maybe he got hold of a translation of the Koran & read it (contrary to our elected “leaders”).

Just a wild guess:)

Left/Liberal Loons in UK/canada/America support jihadi immigration.

And the corrupt pro-jihadi media will not even report some of the crimes like this http://tinyurl.com/p8rdp7w

Blacklamics are recruited in many ways – online, prison, from groups like black lies mutter aided by the usual suspects – leftist msm and various government leaders and programs. These malcontents -many who have created their own situations of poverty and joblessness by lives of crime and gimme are easy targets of muslamics bent on insurrection and civilization jihad by terror, subterfuge at all levels of government and attrition – e.g. white flight, and ghetto’izing inner cities so they are more easily turned into desolation sanctuaries.

So, as of now, we’re at three Muslims involved in this lone-wolf attack.

Progressive math:

One murderer + several accomplices + jihadi network = lone wolf

Now folks, don’t worry about a thing. The “arrests” only mean the authorities will ask these people some polite questions in a non-threatening environment. They’ll serve tea, wear the proper costume ( in deference to the “suspects”) and will of course allow for prayer sessions during interrogations. Then the authorities will call a news conference to announce none of the suspects will be held any further as it was all a misunderstanding and “we” are all to blame…….

For the hate of “allah” some one call “islamophobe” and stop this senseless persecution of innocent muslims who are bringing progressive multiculturalism to britain. The proselytizers of islam are following the qur’an which is accepted in britain as the basis for the alternate legal system, shari’a, it is religious prejudice to prevent them from doing so.

“Nine people remain in custody and one woman has been released on bail, Rowley said.”
NO ONE associated with this Muslim terrorist attack should have ever been released on bail.
Ten to one, this woman is going to suddenly turn up missing, and the authorities are going to have no clue as to how she disappeared.
I’m afraid the British cops are, by comparison, making the Keystone cops look brilliant.

To be such utter DENIERS, the Bobbies are certainly arresting a bucket full of “fishy” folk!

Hope they’ve ACTUALLY got a “CELL” busted and DOWN!

Doubtless, that’s what we’ll see happening here soon enough…even tho Trump HAS made a HERCULEAN effort to stop the influx of UNVETTED Muslims, sooo, I suppose we’ll HAVE TO learn the hard way…(as we did on 9/11…after numerous warnings that Jets WOULD be used as weapons)…We “GRINGOS” do tend to be a bit stubborn! { /:- 0 oh! My!….
