Again, the home-grown terrorists and not the ones in the Middle-east, seem to be the most threatening.

Whew! I'm glad the plot was foiled.

Homegrown maybe (I haven't seen any reports saying these were British born Muslims)- still Muslim though.
EVIL Muslim terrorists were to kidnap a British soldier on UK streets and force him to plead with Tony Blair for his life in return for a pull-out of troops from Iraq, The Sun can reveal.

The suspects are of Pakistani
origin and their families have lived in the UK for at least 30 years. At least, that's what differente sources, such as Times and BBC are reporting.
It's a shame these things have to happen. It'll worsen the already tense relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe.

Pakistani origin. Gotcha. Have they said how old the suspects are? If they were born in Pakistan or Britain? And you are right, this sends a very bad message IMO. When they sink so low as to kidnap a solider off of the streets, no one is safe. I shudder to think what is next.
