Hyped Terror Raid Proves To Be Paper Tiger

No evidence of chemical weapons, supposed Canada attack also discredited

Friday's terror raid in London which has been hyped by sections of the media all weekend has evaporated into another paper tiger, just as another alleged fearsome plot to attack the Canadian Parliament is discredited by lack of evidence.

On Friday morning London police, supposedly acting on 'intelligence' and not evidence of a chemical weapons plot, raided a family home in the Forest Gate area, beating down doors and breaking windows as one of the suspects, Mohammed Abdul Kahar was shot in the shoulder.

Over the weekend police incredulously attempted to absolve themselves of blame by claiming that Kahar was shot by his own brother and not one of an alarmingly overzealous 250 police officers who descended on the scene. The police's version of events was adamantly denied by lawyers representing Kahar and his brother Abul Koyair.

The London Guardian reports today, "Counter-terrorism officials conceded yesterday that lethal chemical devices they feared had been stored at an east London house raided on Friday may never have existed."
