The latest suspect in a terroristic death threat made over the internet in Britain was arrested today. The "Asian" man (Brits often refer to muslims or arabs as Asians) was 19 and is another one of the group suspected of making internet death threats against British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Here's the details from the article at the Daily Mail:
The Brits have taken a pretty hard stance on terroristic threats using a 2000 law enacted called the Terrorism Act - it gives the authorities a lot of leeway on evidence to make arrests. And they certainly need this law due to all of the jihadists in Britain planning attacks, it seems every month.
It's my view that at some point in time, the Brits are going to need to make some examples of these jihadists - death sentences or consecutive life sentences to try and help cut down on some of these local cells organizing.
It is understood today's arrest comes in connection with previous arrests in Blackburn, Derby, Accrington and Manchester Airport earlier this year.
Five men have since been charged with terrorism offences.
Those arrests came after alleged threats were made on the internet to kill Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

A 19-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of terror offences.
Neighbours reported seeing police arrive at a flat in Blackburn, Lancashire, at around 6.45am and shortly after a young Asian man was led away in handcuffs.
He was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2006 and specialist police teams have cordoned off the bedsit, above a take-away shop in the town,
'It was very shocking when the police came in and told me. This area is nice and it has never happened around here before.
'I just thought it would be drugs related.
'I have seen white and Asian men at the flat. The police have been there various times over the last couple of months.'
Mrs Kazi said her husband, Tamal, saw the young Asian man being led away by police.
Joan Fielding, 61, who lives across the road added: 'I have seen white people and Asian people wearing turbans and robes at the flat.
'We have seen police going to the house a few times. I just thought, 'Oh, cops are there again, knocking on the door.'
'It was shocking when I heard it was to do with terrorism.'
A spokeswoman for Lancashire Police said: 'The arrest is the culmination of a counter terrorism operation between Lancashire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police Counter Terrorism Unit.

Death sentance in the UK ? Unfortunatly not Holger :(
I totally agree examples need to be set, if they aren't British Nationals deport the entire family - If they are, lock those scumbags up for 20 years.
The reality is that they'll probably be let off scott free and have a nice payout for their troubles !!
The UK is soft. Very soft on these people.
