The difference between us and them...

From the off-duty officer that hosed off the Muslim petrol bomber:

Bravo, Officer Ferguson...well done.

"...Ahmed, 27, who doused himself in petrol and set himself alight in the attack, was saved by an off-duty British police officer who hosed him down.

'It never entered my consciousness to walk away from the guy - I would have been failing in my duty to preserve life - and it doesn't matter whose life that is at the end of the day,' the officer, Stewart Ferguson, has said.

Also from the article...Australian hospitals searched, laptops seized. Looks like there are doctors in the house.

Investigators in Australia, where Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef, 27, is being held, Friday searched hospitals in connection with the botched attacks.

They said laptops and telephones were seized in Perth and Sydney as counter-terrorism police investigated a possible network of Muslim militants.

But Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty stressed that only one person was in custody and that no charges had been brought.

And in India...
Indian police Friday questioned the families of three Indian suspects as the authorities in Bangalore said they had launched a full investigation into the terrorist plot.
