World Cup Plot


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/18/world-cup-plot-detained-i_n_580356.html


One detainee recently described to authorities that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is planning attacks on the World Cup in South Africa specifically targeting Danish/Dutch teams or fans in revenge for the Dutch cartoonists depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Certainly I will be paying close attention to the security of the World Cup. Also, as I was reading this article, I was intrigued by the fact that it did not seem like torture had been used in order to cox confession from the detainee. They stated the detainee did not look abused or bruised in any way. Perhaps, it is possible to gain information from "terrorist" suspects without the use of torture and through the use of the usual criminal procedure rules and guidelines used in everyday law enforcement investigations. (this is conjecture since I do not know the way in which they obtained the confession.)
