Excerpt:
Brig. Ed Butler, who spent six months commanding British forces in 
Afghanistan, also revealed fears that militant Islamic groups in south-east 
Asia are supporting terrorist plots in the UK.

The brigadier, a former head of the SAS, spoke exclusively to the Daily 
Telegraph in the week when the British death toll in Afghanistan reached 
114, with 17 fatalities in the last two months.

UK forces have uncovered evidence that British Muslims are actively 
supporting the Taliban and al-Qa'eda in attacks on coalition forces in 
southern Afghanistan, Brig Butler said.

He said: "There are British passport holders who live in the U.K. who are 
being found in places like Kandahar."

Earlier this year, it was revealed that RAF Nimrod spyplanes monitoring 
Taliban radio signals in Afghanistan had heard militants speaking with 
Yorkshire and Midlands accents.

Privately, British officers in Afghanistan estimate that several thousand 
Taliban fighters have been killed since 2006, among them people from outside 
the country.

One officer said: "While my troops have not actually found British passports 
on enemy dead there has been a suspicion that with the high number of 
Taliban casualties they have needed to recruit a lot of foreign fighters and 
some of these are likely to be of British-Muslim descent."

Disturbingly, Brig Butler suggested the traffic between Britain and 
Afghanistan may flow in both directions, with some British Muslims returning 
from the region and posing a domestic security threat.

Brig Butler, 46, said he had seen evidence that terror groups based in 
southern Afghanistan were plotting with Muslim extremists in Britain to 
carry out terror attacks in the UK.

That doesn't really surprise me. People go off to fight for whatever they
believe in. Plenty of people traipsed off to Spain from Britain and
elsewhere to get involved in the Spanish Civil War. World War I and II had
people from all nations siding with one another against others and joining
foreign forces to help others out.

It's not unusual and not a particularly Muslim phenomenon and there are
probably quite a few who believe they are justified in going off to fight
the colaition; especially those who may have had innocent relatives and
family killed by coalition forces.

He could claim he'd seen evidence that David Icke's been right all along but
just saying it doesn't make it so.

Probably, and I'm sure you'd know as you spend more time on AQ and terrorist
sites than anyone I know. Were you in fact the one who partially translated
it and posted it there ?

But what relevance does that fact have anyway even if true ? You've
translated stuff from AQ and terrorist sites and have posted it here. I've
seen more pro-AQ propaganda come through you than from any other. It's
impossible to tell which side you're playing for.
