*** The Liquid Bomb Hoax: The Larger Implications ***
By: James Petras - Axis of Logic.
..."The charges leveled by the British, US and Pakistani regimes that they uncovered a major bomb plot directed against 9 US airlines is based on the flimsiest of evidence, which would be thrown out of any court, worthy of its name.
An analysis of the current state of the investigation raises a series of questions regarding the governments’ claims of a bomb plot concocted by 24 Brits of Pakistani origin.
The arrests were followed by the search for evidence, as the August 12, 2006 Financial Times states: “The police set about the mammoth task of gathering evidence of the alleged terrorist bomb plot yesterday”... In other words, the arrests and charges took place without sufficient evidence – a peculiar method of operation – which reverses normal investigatory procedures in which arrests follow the “monumental task of gathering evidence”. If the arrests were made without prior accumulation of evidence – what were the bases of the arrests?"...
..."The government search of financial records and transfers turned up no money trail despite the freezing of accounts. The police search revealed limited amounts of savings, as one would expect from young workers, students and employees from low-income immigrant families..."
---------------------------------------
>>> US intelligence claimed and London repeated that sums of money had been wired from Pakistan to allow the plotters to buy airline tickets. Yet air tickets were found in only one residence (and the airline and itinerary were not stated by the police). None of the other suspects possessed plane tickets and some did not even have passports. In other words, the most preliminary moves in the so-called bomb plot had not been taken by the accused. No terrorist plot to bomb airplanes exists when the alleged conspirators are lacking travel funds, documents and tickets. It is not credible to argue that the alleged conspirators depended on instructions from distant handlers ignorant of the basic ground level conditions <<<

..."No evidence has been presented on the nature of the specific liquid bomb question, or any spoken discussion or written documents about the liquid bomb, which would implicate any of the suspects. No bottle, liquid or chemical formula has been found among any of the suspects. Nor have any of the ingredients that go into making the ‘liquid bomb’ been uncovered. Nor has any evidence been presented as to where the liquid was supposed to come from (the source) or whether it was purchased locally or overseas.
When the liquid bomb story was ridiculed into obscurity, British Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Peter Clark claimed that, “bomb making equipment including chemicals and electric components had been found” (BBC News 8/21/2006).
Once again there is no mention of what “electronic components” and “chemicals” were found, in whose home or office and if they might be related to non-bomb making activities. Were these so-called new bomb-making items owned by a specific person or group of persons, and if so were they known by the parties implicated to be part of a bombing plot. Moreover, when and why have the authorities switched from the liquid bombs to identifying old fashion electronic detonators? Is there any evidence – documents or taped discussions that link these electronic detonators and chemicals with the specific plot to ‘blow up 9 US bound airliners?’
Instead of providing relevant facts clearing up basic questions of names, dates, weapons, and travel dates, Commissioner Clark gives the press a laundry list of items which could be found in millions of homes and the large number of buildings searched (69 so far)..."
