Police Expect Mumbai-Style Attack on London

LONDON News: Scotland Yard has warned businesses in London to expect a Mumbai-style attack on the capital.

In a briefing in the City of London 12 days ago, a senior detective from SO15, the Metropolitan police counter-terrorism command, said: “Mumbai is coming to London.”

The detective said companies should anticipate a shooting and hostage-taking raid “involving a small number of gunmen with handguns and improvised explosive devices”.

The warning — the bluntest issued by police — has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year.

It was issued by the Met through its network of “security forums”, which provide business leaders, local government and the emergency services with counter-terrorism advice.

During a “commando-style” raid by 10 gunmen on hotels and cafes in Mumbai in November 2008, 174 people were killed and more than 300 injured over three days.

Officials now report an increase in “intelligence chatter” — communications captured by electronic eavesdropping agencies. One senior security adviser said the police warnings had intensified and become much more specific in the past fortnight.

“Before, there has been speculation. Now we are getting what appears to be a definite plot to carry out a firearms attack on London,” he said.

Earlier this year, police, military and intelligence services held an exercise in Kent to see whether they could defeat a commando raid in London by terrorists.

Stepfather Stuck 50 Needles in Children: Police in Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO news updates: A two-year-old Brazilian boy suffering from 50 needles stuck everywhere inside his body was the victim of a ‘black magic’ ritual performed by his stepfather, police said Wednesday.

The stepfather, Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, broke down and confessed after being arrested earlier in the day, the police chief in charge of the investigation, Helder Fernandes Santana, told AFP.

“He did that for revenge, to get back at his wife. His mistress told him to kill the child through a macabre ritual,” said Santana by telephone from the northeastern town of Ibotirama, in Bahia state.

The toddler, who could not be named because of his young age, remained in intensive care in a hospital in the nearby town of Barreiras, where he was admitted on Sunday by his mother after vomiting and complaining of stomach pain.

X-rays showed around 50 metal sewing needles inside his body, including his neck, torso and legs.

Surprised doctors who treated the boy said they knew immediately the needles had not been swallowed but inserted deliberately, one by one.

He is conscious but in a “serious” condition, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Bessa told AFP. “One needle perforated a lung, and he is weak. We drained the area and he is on a drip.”

She added that doctors were deciding Wednesday whether it would be safe to operate to remove “the needles that are closest to vital organs — but that might be more dangerous than just leaving them in.”

The mother of the boy, Maria Souza Santos, 38, told the newspaper A Tarde de Salvador de Bahia that she believed her son had been the victim of a black magic rite.

She said she had found a bottle of cachaca, Brazilian rum made from sugar cane, and objects used for such ceremonies in the modest house she shared with her six children, her mother and her husband of six months, Magalhaes.

Souza Santos works as a maid. Magalhaes worked as a fisherman and laborer.

Although Brazil is a largely Catholic country, superstition and animist cults exist, mainly in the poorer northern regions.

Indian Hindus Fate of TV station

MUMBAI : Seven people were arrested in Mumbai on Friday after activists from a Hindu regional political party ransacked a television station’s offices and beat up staff, police and the network said.

About 25 men breached security at the Network 18 group premises in Vikhroli, in the east of the city, breaking glass windows with dustbins, overturning chairs and attacking journalists and other staff.

“Seven people have been arrested. We will keep them in custody and go deep into this matter to find out why and how these things have happened,” Mumbai police chief D. Sivanandan said.

The Network 18 group operates CNBC-TV18, which is India’s leading business channel, the English-language general news channel CNN-IBN and regional language equivalents, IBN-7 in Hindi, and IBN-Lokmat, in Marathi.

The broadcaster said the IBN-7 and IBN-Lokmat newsrooms were targeted by the protesters, who were shouting slogans in support of the Shiv Sena, a local political party that pushes a protectionist regional agenda.

The network’s website said attackers told employees that they would not tolerate reports criticising Shiv Sena while TV pictures showed a Network 18 outside broadcast van also being targeted in Pune, southeast of Mumbai.

The chief minister of Maharahstra state, Ashok Chavan, told IBN-7: “I have told the police to take the strictest action possible against all the people behind it. I assure the media that this will not be tolerated at any cost.”

India’s Broadcast Editors’ Association described the incident as “an attack on freedom of expression” and “the handiwork of elements who want to undermine the role of pen, microphone and camera”.

“Such attacks go against the basic tenets of democracy and need to be condemned in the harshest possible terms,” it said in a statement.
