Bag's Rants

One nagging question.

After reading all the articles on the bombers and what they were doing and everything over the last 24 hours. One thing has been nagging away at me. I can't make any sense of it and so I thought I would just write about it.

These guys were going out to kill themselves and take some of us with them. Sounds like each had a flight each and was going to take some explosives on board to bring the flight down. Now ignoring the questions on how that was going to happen and talks about explosives, they were going out to die and they knew it.

So why was the first action of our security services to freeze their assets? They would have tidied up before they went the same as we all would if we knew when we were popping our clogs. So there wouldn't be much traffic now. They wouldn't be in the position of having large amounts in their accounts being cannon fodder. Nor are they in the position to be writing out any cheques for a while. There seems to be a big thing with these guys about this. It's mentioned in a few articles on the BBC site here and here and is plastered all over the Bank of England in a special article. I don't remember our Red Mercury guys or our Forest Gate guys getting this treatment.

It just doesn't make any sense to me.
