:eek: If this isn't a hoax then I hope she never gets let out of prison.It is a chilling image that will go around the world - a woman in a hijab 'claiming to have a bomb in her bag' pictured as armed police take aim at her.
It is not known if the backpack contained a bomb or not but officers were not taking any chance.
The incident is on-going at the seafront in Saltburn in Teesside today. Army bomb disposal experts are believed to be on site.

The BBC report is less sensational:

I don't think it even made the DM.
Sounds horrible, but I got a hint of her maybe being put up to it, so let's not be too hasty yet.
Of course the msm jumps on the 'terrorist' claim straight away as we saw with Anders Breivik in Norway last year. However thankfully in 5 years only 0.5% of terrorist attacks in Europe has ever been conducted by AQ sympathisers.
Save a lot of trouble in the long run.
Well yeah. I mean, I doubt people in Iraq or Afghanistan are gonna look at it and go "well, it was fine when it was just happening here, but Teeside? Now they're just taking the piss".
That was a popular option with De Menezies wasn't it?
I'm in a bad mood, so tempted to simply say yes. :mad:
And what about the mess/damage to property/other innocent bystanders?
Or anyone else the police have ended up shooting, even after they've been shot at.
Now is not the time to think about dating. :rolleyes:
Marvellous isn't it. The Police are useless if they dont act, and if they do, they shouldn't have done. Some things never change.
The picture on the BBC news link shows her sitting on the beach, very alone.
As a resident I can vouch for there being nothing here. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when the news came on the radio this afternoon!
