Bloomberg.com: U.K. Police Question 9 Men Over Alleged Plot to Kidnap and Behead Soldier
...The nine suspects were detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 on suspicion of the "commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism,'' West Midlands Police said.

The kidnap and possible filmed beheading of a British soldier would be a new tactic for Islamist terrorists in the U.K. Ken Bigley, a British civil engineer, was kidnapped and beheaded in Iraq in 2004 by an al-Qaeda group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who died in a U.S. air strike in 2006. Film of Bigley's execution was posted on Islamist Web sites.

There are 330 Muslims in the British armed forces. Jabron Hashmi, 24, the first British Muslim soldier to die in the so- called "war on terror,'' was from Birmingham and was born in Pakistan. The Lance Corporal was killed fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan in July and 400 people attended his funeral at the Central Jamia Mosque in Birmingham.

"What I would say to the extremists is that extremism does not help change anything,'' his brother, Zeeshan Hashmi, who also served in the military, told the Daily Mail. "One of the main reasons why my brother and I went into the military -- apart from being British and feeling a sense of duty -- was because of the position of global politics and the clash between East and West.''

Amen to all that, my Brother!
