<\/a>This article is dedicated to former South Yorkshire terror analyst Tony Farrell who lost his job but kept his integrity, and with thanks to the documentation provided by the July 7th Truth Campaign<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c:One intriguing aspect of the London Bombing report is the fact that the MI5 codename for the event is \u201cStepford\u201d. The four \u201cbombers\u201d are referred to as the \u201cStepford four\u201d. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Why is this the case? \u2026 the MI5 codename is very revealing in that it suggests the operation was a carefully coordinated and controlled one with four compliant and malleable patsies following direct orders. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Now if MI5 has no idea who was behind the operation or whether there were any orders coming from a mastermind, why would they give the event the codename \u201cStepford\u201d? \u201d (<\/em>Steve Watson, January 30, 2006 Prison Planet)<\/span><\/p>\n The word was out that there was easy money to be made by Muslims taking part in an emergency- preparedness operation. Mohammad Sidique Khan \u2014 better known by his western nickname \u201cSid\u201d \u2013\u00a0 had been approached by his contact, probably Haroon Rashid<\/span> Aswat<\/span> <\/strong><\/a>who was in town, about a big emergency preparedness operation that was looking for local Pakistanis who might take the part of pretend \u201csuicide bombers\u201d for the enactment.\u00a0 The call was somewhat unusual: not just anyone was to be asked.\u00a0 The people running this wanted \u201cyoung men who were conservatively and cleanly dressed and probably had some higher education\u201d. It looked as if it might be one of the ones related to Visor Consultants, which had a history of holding such events.\u00a0\u00a0 Sid\u2019s wife, Hasina Patel, had been experiencing complications in her second pregnancy; he wondered if she might be better off getting help through expensive, private doctors.\u00a0 He agreed to take part in it and to recruit others.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Did he smell a rat?\u00a0 Khan asked only men of Pakistani descent who were single.\u00a0 His friend and younger sidekick Shezad Tanweer, who had just graduated from university, agreed.\u00a0 He had just racked up a big car repair bill on his beloved red Mercedes and could use the money.\u00a0 Eighteen-year old Hasib Hussain was a good guy who was awaiting his exams for entry into Leeds University that September; he could use the money for a car he had been looking at for the commute. Ejaz Fiaz, who was known for sometimes dyeing his hair blonde for parties, also agreed.\u00a0 He was a bit flakey but he seemed to fit the bill.\u00a0 Khan gave their names as volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What could go wrong?\u00a0 Aswat was well connected with British security and had to be reliable. But he had felt somewhat compromised by his and Tanweer\u2019s work with security people the previous year.\u00a0 No one was more patriotic than he and Tanweer.\u00a0 They loved their country and wanted to help their government in any way.\u00a0 They had allowed themselves to be taped in 2004, but he didn\u2019t feel good about it.\u00a0 He and Tanweer had been acting in good faith in getting other Muslims, like Omar Khyam, to talk on tape, but he started to realize that security people were basically trying to find Muslims to set up for their \u201cWar on Terror.\u201d It had become dangerous for Muslims, even for patriots like him and Tanweer. He wondered whether the work they did for security had made them safer or put them in a more precarious position. Tapes the two of them had made for security guys the year before bothered him, tapes that had made them look like some kind of crazy terrorists, dressed up half like pirates and half like Palestinians, with red kifieh\u2019s wrapped around their heads. They had been talked into being photographed like that against his better judgement \u2014 of course, they had also gotten paid for it.\u00a0 He\u00a0 hoped that those tapes were lying somewhere, forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But what could anyone do to him?\u00a0 Everybody knew him; his reputation was such that he had to be untouchable.\u00a0 He had been featured in a Sunday Times educational supplement for his excellent work in counseling children of immigrants; he was known for fixing dangerous situations, including conflict resolution with troubled teenagers, and he had even been able to help get kids off drugs. Kids knew he cared about their problems when he talked to them.\u00a0\u00a0 He also knew important people and was even a friend of his Member of Parliament.\u00a0 His mother-in-law knew the Queen and had special recognition for her progressive work with Muslim women. If there was anyone in the Muslim community who had to be beyond any suspicion for any funny business, it had to be him.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Still, it would be naive to think that there were no risks at all involved.\u00a0 It chilled him, wondering why an emergency preparedness operation really needed fake \u201csuicide bombers\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0Khan got the word out that he and Hasina had separated.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t want her harassed if anything went wrong and he was being set up.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Fiaz, the party guy, ended up cancelling out in the end, so Khan contacted Jamal (or, using his non-Muslim name, Germaine) Lindsay, a burly, black bodybuilder who had been born in Jamaica, to take Fiaz\u2019s place.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t of Pakistani origin, but he was Muslim, anyway.\u00a0 His wife Samantha Lewthwaite was about to deliver their second child, so Lindsay was happy to get extra money.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n All of the guys volunteering knew the security contacts; it looked as if it might be fun while they were helping out and making a bit of extra money.<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday, July 7th, 2005, is a day people still talk about in London, England.\u00a0 A meeting of the G8 had started in Gleneagles and London had just been named as the city for the next summer Olympics. It was all good.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At about 8:50 am, Scotland Yard\u2019s office put a call through to their Mossad contacts at the Israeli embassy. (Sheva, 2005)\u00a0 Benjamin Netanyahu, then serving as Israel\u2019s Finance Minister, was in London to address a conference near Liverpool Station.\u00a0 They warned the Israeli officials that explosions were about to happen.\u00a0 Netanyahu remained in his room that morning.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n London\u2019s commuters weren\u2019t as lucky.\u00a0 About five minutes later, explosions started to rip through London Transport subway cars and busses.\u00a0 At around 9 a.m., London Transport put out the word that there seemed to be a \u201cpower surge\u201d problem.\u00a0 The Gold Team of London\u2019s Metropolitan police (the \u201cMet\u201d) shut down the mobile phone system for at least an hour in central London \u2014 which they initially denied.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At 9:47 a.m., an explosion ripped through a No. 30 bus in Tavistock Square, near the office of the British Medical Association and also the offices of various security operations.\u00a0 Featuring a giant ad for a terror film, the bus seemed to be the only one that had strayed off of its normal route that day. The driver had just stuck his neck out to ask directions, when the back of the upper deck exploded.\u00a0 Photographs of the bus show it with varying degrees of damage. (Antagonist, 2005)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Soon after the Bus No. 30 explosion, the public was notified about that as well as about explosions on subways over the past 50 minutes; the entire London Transport system would be shut down<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n There had been reports of explosions in three busses and at least six subway cars.\u00a0 The subway explosions seemed to be on trains which could have started from King\u2019s Cross station, although that would not be clear, given witness accounts, with some travelling in opposite directions or even on different subway lines.\u00a0 In addition, the FBI\u2019s Vincent Cannistraro would report the further discovery of two unexploded bombs as well as mechanical timing devices. (Muir et al, 2005)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At 11 a.m. there were reports about police marksmen having killed from 1-4 \u201csuicide bombers\u201d at Canary Wharf, a media center. (Shortnews, 2005)\u00a0 The story made it to numerous international newspapers, including Toronto\u2019s Globe & Mail. (Rook, 2005) The New Zealand Herald also reported that Canary Wharf workers were told to remain away from windows for six hours.\u00a0 (N Z Herald, 2005)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n By noon,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Later that afternoon, the head of the security-related Visor Consultants, Peter Power, spoke on radio and TV.\u00a0 Incredibly, his company had been commissioned to carry out an emergency preparedness operation for simultaneous bombings at 9 a.m. at the very stations that were affected by the blasts: Edgware, Aldgate and Piccadilly.\u00a0 (Statisticians have noted that the probability of that being a coincidence are close to zero.)\u00a0 Power, it turned out, had practice making this announcement.\u00a0 He had been part of a mock exercise in April 2004 with the same bombing scenario of three subways and a bus that had been featured on a BBC Panorama program.\u00a0 He had also taken part in joint US\/UK London emergency preparedness operations as recently as two months before. (Chossudovsky, 8\/8 2005) Power was a veteran of British intelligence until his founding of Visor Consultants in 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n By the end of the day, the government claimed that \u201cIslamic extremists\u201d were responsible for four explosions in London that morning. \u201d Prime Minister Tony Blair was \u201cincensed\u201d at the suggestion by the head of the Opposition that an independent investigation might be appropriate.\u00a0 Since \u201ceveryone\u201d knew that the Muslims had done it, it would be an insult to the security services, as well as a waste of time and money.\u00a0 Besides, one month before, The Inquiries Act became law, giving the Prime Minister full control of all inquiries; a truly independent inquiry would not be possible.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The London explosions \u2014 which Scotland Yard claimed it had had no advance notice of \u2014 was claimed to have killed 52 commuters and injured 700 \u2014 300 of them seriously.\u00a0 The death toll from the bus was initially declared to be two but mysteriously increased to \u201c13 or 14\u2033; Ian Blair called it a complicated situation \u2014 without further elaboration.\u00a0 It took several hours for some of the injured to receive help, a possible factor in the death toll that would be investigated at the 2010 Hallett Inquest.\u00a0 The government had not only rejected any inquiry, they were also busy destroying evidence.\u00a0 The bombed vehicles were immediately taken off and disposed of \u2014 apparently sent out of Britain to be sold as scrap \u2014 without any photographs or documentation of the damage.\u00a0 There were no autopsies of the dead, and no records collected of the survivors\u2019 injuries for forensic purposes<\/span><\/p>\n The day after the explosions, Friday July 8th,\u00a0 Scotland Yard sent off its voluminous \u201cOperation Crevice\u201d files on Omar Khyam and his group, which included information on Khan and Tanweer, to the RCMP in Canada for the Khawaja trial;\u00a0 not long after that, police removed an electronic monitoring device from Khan\u2019s car;\u00a0\u00a0 Hasib Hussain\u2019s exam results arrived; he had scored high marks in four out of the five exams;<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 There was a big police operation in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Lindsay\u2019s home:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Chief Superintendent Simon Chesterman, the most senior police officer in Bucks, arrived at his office at Aylesbury Police Station [on Friday, July 8th] to be confronted by Scotland Yard\u2019s counter terrorism unit. Detectives believed that Lindsay, the Kings Cross bomber who killed 26 people, was, in fact, a fifth bomber, was still alive and posed an immediate threat to public safety. Officers had discovered the car of Germaine Lindsay, who lived in Northern Road, abandoned at Luton train station, where he travelled to London with three other bombers. What followed, said Chief Supt Chesterman, was the biggest police operation he had ever witnessed in 22 years on the force.\u201d (Bucks Herald, 2005)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Christophe Chaboud, a French anti-terrorism expert called in to help with the investigation, quickly noted the expertise of the London bombs. He reported that the bombmaker was sophisticated and the explosives high-grade, and specifically not homemade.\u00a0 That evaluation was shared by other explosives experts and confirmed with the identification of an unusual variant of the military plastic explosive C4 at all four bomb sites.\u00a0 The remains of timing devices were also found at the subway blast sites, which meant that no one had to die in those explosions.<\/span><\/p>\n On Monday, July 11th, 800 detectives gathered to watch 5,000 Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) tapes to see if they could spot something suspicious: people walking in with large bags and walking out \u2014 perhaps at another station \u2014 without them.\u00a0 The exercise, which looked like mission impossible, was expected to take a couple of weeks. That night, however, they claimed they were lucky; they spotted four to five men of Asian descent \u2014 four with identical backpacks \u2014 (similar to those used by the British military) at Luton Station on their way to King\u2019s Cross, which they took to be the origin point of the subway bombings.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Police claimed they had a \u201clucky break\u201d with Hussain\u2019s mother\u2019s call, which put a name to one of the four men shown in the footage, (which they refused to show to the public.)\u00a0 Police claimed that they then found the identity cards of three of the men, which they could connect to the various blasts: a Mohammad Sidique Khan at Edgware, a Shezad Tanweer at Aldgate, and Hasib Hussain, on the bus. Police claimed that all were \u201cclean skins\u201d or, unknown to the police. (Scotland Yard was embarrassed when Nicholas Sarkozy, then French Minister of the Interior, publicly reminded them that Khan and Tanweer had been known through their \u201cOperation Crevice\u201d.)\u00a0 After the announcement, police noted that Khan\u2019s body was not to be found at the Edgware Road site where he was supposed to have died.\u00a0 (BBC, 7, 2005) Only his ID, which was subsequently found on the bus and, reportedly also at Aldgate. Tanweer\u2019s ID, was not only found at Aldgate, but also on the bus, which exploded almost an hour after he was supposed to have died.\u00a0 Police did not bother with ID cards of others also found at the sites.<\/span><\/p>\n At first, the identity of the fourth bomber was a mystery.\u00a0 One paper named Ejaz Fiaz as the fourth bomber, but noted that the name had not been confirmed.\u00a0 Police claimed that the body of the fourth \u201csuicide bomber\u201d had been so \u201cshredded\u201d at the Piccadilly blast that his identity required DNA analysis. The DNA sample was reportedly taken from the parking stub from the car the police had towed on July 7th (J7 Profile: Lindsay)<\/span><\/p>\nBackground<\/strong><\/h2>\n
