Six Islamists Admit British Far-Right Terror Plot
2013-05-01
[An Nahar] Six Islamic gunnies admitted on Tuesday planning to attack a far-right rally in England with guns, swords and a nail bomb, in a plot that only failed because they turned up late.

Jewel Uddin, Omar Mohammed Khan, Mohammed Hasseen, Anzal Hussain, Mohammed Saud and Zohaib Ahmed admitted preparing an act of terrorism last year.

The court in London heard that their plan to attack the far-right English Defence League (EDL) only failed because the rally in Dewsbury, northern England, finished earlier than expected.

Police only uncovered the plot thanks to a routine traffic stop.

"This will attract significant custody, there is no doubt about that," judge Nicholas Hilliard told the men, whose sentencing was scheduled for June 6.

Police and security services were not aware of the planned attack on June 30, although Uddin was under surveillance in connection with another jihadist plot.

Ahmed was also on bail at the time for possession of terrorist documents.

The court heard that all of the men except Hasseen traveled to the rally in the West Yorkshire town armed with two shotguns, swords, knives, a nail bomb containing 458 pieces of shrapnel, and a partially assembled pipe bomb.

Police estimated there were up to 750 EDL supporters at the rally, as well as dozens of officers and passers-by.

But when the jihadists arrived in Dewsbury, they found that the protest had dispersed two hours earlier.

The plot was only uncovered because a traffic officer stopped Uddin and Khan on a motorway as they returned to their hometown of Birmingham in central England.

The officer found that their car was uninsured, so it was impounded and staff at the pound later discovered the arsenal.

There were also 10 copies of a note addressed to Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron

Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
, describing them as "enemies of Allah".

Addressing the EDL directly, the letter said: "We have heard and seen you openly insulting the final messenger of Allah... you should know that for every action there is a reaction.

"Today is a day of retaliation (especially) for your blasphemy of Allah and his messenger Muhammad. We love death more than you love life."

He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list...
, who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011, were also found in the car.

The court heard that Uddin had already come to the authorities' attention because of his minor involvement in another Islamist plot, collecting "charitable" donations on the street for a group of gunnies who planned to detonate a string of rucksack bombs.

11 British Islamists Jailed for al-Qaida Bomb Plot
2013-04-27
[An Nahar] Eleven British Moslems were jugged
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
on Friday for planning what a court heard was an al-Qaeda-backed plot to carry out a string of bombings that they hoped would rival 9/11 and the 2005 London attacks.

The conspiracy involved at least six of the plotters traveling to Pakistain for terror training, with the eventual aim of setting off eight rucksack bombs in crowded areas and possibly other timed devices.

Ringleader Irfan Naseer received a life sentence, his right-hand man Irfan Khalid was jugged
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
for 18 years and co-conspirator Ashik Ali was jugged
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
for 15 years by a judge at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London.

Eight other members of the cell which was based in Birmingham, central England, were also sentenced on Friday.

"Your plot had the blessing of al-Qaeda and you intended to further the aims of Al-Qaeda," Judge Richard Henriques said as he sentenced the men.

"The only barrier between (Naseer's) team and mass murder was the intervention of the authorities."

The terror cell was heavily influenced by the teachings of American-born al-Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki
... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises.

He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list...
, who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011, police said.

Prosecutors said that the attacks planned by the men would have been the deadliest since the July 7, 2005 London bombings, in which 52 people were killed by three Islamist jacket wallahs on subway trains and a fourth bomber on a bus.

Khalid meanwhile boasted that the attack would be "another 9/11", referring to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the trial heard.

The plot was also the most significant terror plan uncovered in Britannia since the 2006 plot to blow up transatlantic airliners using bombs in drinks bottles, police said.

The judge said the attacks may have been intended to target Birmingham, although police said the planned location was not clear.

Britain
Terror plot: Leaders jailed for Birmingham bomb plan
2013-04-26
[BBC] Leaders of a Birmingham terror cell that planned an attack to rival the 7 July and 9/11 atrocities have been jailed.

Irfan Naseer, 31, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 18 years, Irfan Khalid, 28, was given 18 years and Ashik Ali was sentenced to 15 years.

The judge said Naseer wanted to turn part of Birmingham into a "little war zone".

Eight other members of the terror cell will be sentenced later.

The group had planned to set off up to eight bombs in rucksacks, using timers to detonate the charges.

'Skilful bomb-maker'
Detectives believe the terror plot is the most significant to be uncovered since the 2006 conspiracy to blow up transatlantic airliners using bombs disguised as soft drinks.

Mr Justice Henriques told Naseer during sentencing: "Your plot had the blessing of al-Qaeda and you intended to further the aims of al-Qaeda."

In February, the three men were found guilty of 12 counts of preparing for acts of terrorism.

They were arrested in September 2011, amid fears an attack was imminent.

Naseer and Khalid had received training from al-Qaeda contacts in Pakistan and had recorded martyrdom videos there before returning to the UK.

Having recruited others, the group posed as legitimate charity workers on the streets of Birmingham and collected thousands of pounds from unsuspecting members of the public.

Naseer played a key role in sending four other Birmingham men to Pakistan to receive training.

They and four other members of the group pleaded guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism and are due to be sentenced later on Friday.

Britain
UK Court Finds 3 Guilty In 'Spectacular' Plot
2013-02-23
[Times of Israel] Mohammedan bully boyz face life in prison for plan to carry out 'another 9/11′; watchdog decries 'disturbing example of would-be anti-Semitic terrorism'

Three men were found guilty Thursday of planning a "spectacular bombing campaign" in the UK, including an attack on a synagogue.

Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid, 27, and Ashik Ali, 27, wanted to carry out "another 9/11" by using eight jacket wallahs armed with guns and explosives-filled rucksacks to target "crowded places" in their native city of Birmingham, Woolwich Crown Court found.

The trio had not decided on a specific target, but in conversations secretly recorded by police, Naseer said that even if the group could not make a bomb, it could "get guns, yeah, from the black geezers, Africans, and charge in some like synagogue or charge in different places."
Jihadi wanted: no brains required.
Two of the men, Naseer and Khalid, traveled to Pakistain twice for training, including a two-month stint at an al-Qaeda facility. They recorded martyrdom videos before returning to the UK in 2011, where they recruited Ali and experimented together in building bombs.

Naseer also helped send four other men to Pakistain for training, and recruited two others for his own plot. All six have already pleaded guilty to related terrorism charges.

In addition to 12 counts of preparing acts of terrorism between December 2010 and September 2011, Naseer, Khalid and Ali were convicted of raising money for terrorism and recruiting others for a terror act.

The Community Security Trust, a charity that monitors anti-Semitism and provides security for the Jewish community in Britannia, welcomed the guilty verdict, but said the plot "is yet another disturbing example of would-be anti-Semitic terrorism here in Britannia. This is the third recent case in which hard boyz have contemplated British Jews amongst other UK targets, the others being an al-Qaeda plot of 2011 and the Stock Exchange plot of 2010.

"Worse still, it follows last year's Khans case, in which a married couple solely targeted the Jewish community of North Manchester."

"In Britannia, terrorism threatens all of society. We are all at equal risk when using public places, such as transport hubs or famous buildings, but these cases demonstrate that British Jews face an additional level of threat, due to the sheer number of hard boyz who regard Jews as amongst the priority targets for their actions."

Sentencing will take place in April or May. The judge, Mr. Justice Henriques, has already warned the men they face life in prison.

Britain
3 British men convicted in terrorist bomb plot
2013-02-21
Three young British Muslims were convicted Thursday of plotting terrorist bomb attacks that prosecutors said were intended to be bigger than the 2005 London transit bombings.

A London jury found 27-year-old Irfan Khalid, 31-year-old Irfan Naseer and Ashik Ali, 27, guilty of being central figures in the foiled plot to explode knapsack bombs in crowded areas - attacks potentially deadlier than the July 2005 attacks on Underground trains and a bus which killed 52 commuters.

Prosecutors said the men, fired up by the sermons of a US.-born al-Qaida preacher, hoped to cause carnage on a mass scale. Their plot was undone by mishaps with money and logistics, and ended in a police counterterrorism swoop in 2011.

Prosecutors said targets and other details had not been finalized when the men were arrested.

The three had pleaded not guilty to charges of preparing for terrorism

But the jury at Woolwich Crown court agreed with prosecutors that the trio were the senior members of a home-grown terror cell inspired by the anti-Western sermons of U.S.-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in Yemen in September 2011.

The suspects convicted Thursday were among 12 people arrested in September 2011 in counter-terrorism raids in Birmingham, central England.

Several other suspects have pleaded guilty to offenses related to the plot.

British terror gang talked of killing 1,000 with poisoned hand cream
2012-10-27
A British terror gang discussed killing one thousand people by mixing hand cream with poison and smearing it on the door handles of cars and homes. Irfan Naseer, the alleged ringleader, said the victims would start dying within five minutes of coming in to contact with it while going to work in the morning.

The Mohammedan group also talked about getting weapons from the "black geezers" and storming in to a synagogue and other places, the court heard.

The al-Qaeda inspired gang, from Birmingham, is accused of planning to use eight jacket wallahs to detonate backpacks packed with explosives in crowded places to cause "mass death" and carnage on British streets.

Naseer, Irfan Khalid, and Ashik Ali, all unemployed from Birmingham, are said to be the "senior members" and were among twelve placed in long-term storage
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
and charged last year.

The trio deny between them twelve terror charges including plotting a bombing campaign, recruiting others for terrorism and terrorism fund-raising.

Conversations between them and others were secretly recorded by the police. In one Naseer, also known as Chubbs, talks about other methods of killing people he was taught about while allegedly undergoing terror training in Pakistain.

He said, "Make it and put it inside like, you know like Vaseline or cream like that, like Nivea cream and put it on people's cars. You know like the door handles on a whole, imagine putting it on whole like area innit overnight and when they come in the morning to work they start touching the, they open the door and then five minutes they die man, all of them start dying and that, kill about 1,000 people."

Naseer added, "Even if we can't make a bomb, get guns yeah from the black geezers, Africans and charge in some like synagogue or charge in different places."

Earlier, the jury heard that Naseer justified attacking non-believers because they have "sex like donkeys", orgies and did drugs. He said, "They wanna you know have sex like donkeys on the street, they wanna club, act like animals and why shouldn't we terrorise them, tell me that?"

Naseer also explained how just a one kilogram bomb could kill 25 people and injure up to 60 people if it was packed with nails and steel nuts. He said that al-Qaeda wanted jihadis to "do Europe" and discussed the prospect of a second string of suicide bombers after his group's attack.

Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, told the jury that had the plot been permitted to run its course it "would have culminated in death and injury on a massive scale".

The jury also heard how Ali's estranged wife had allegedly offered to be a "fourth lion" or "lioness" in reference to the spoof film, Four Lions.Touching details of the converstation at the link.Kabal is accused of knowing about her husband's activities and is due to stand trial next year.

British terror gang joked about being suicide bombers
2012-10-25
A terror cell plotting to cause more damage than the 7/7 attacks joked about driving around as suicide bombers "ready to take on England". One of the alleged ringleaders of the British jihadist group made the comments while being secretly recorded in a car with his co-conspirators, a courtroom was told.

The gang, inspired by al-Qaeda, are accused of planning to use eight suicide bombers to cause "mass death" and carnage on the streets of Britain. The court heard how they even talked about attaching blades to a vehicle and driving into a crowd of people in what was called the "Ultimate Mowing Machine".

The three "senior members of the gang", Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid, 27, and Ashik Ali, 27, deny between them a total of 12 terror charges including planning a bombing campaign, recruiting others for terrorism and terrorism fundraising. They were among a total of 12 people arrested by police on various terrorism charges last year.

Naseer and Khalid are accused of twice traveling to Pakistan for terror training and producing martyrdom videos to be shown after their deaths.

The gang is alleged to have planned to use up to eight suicide bombers to detonate rucksacks packed with explosives in crowded places and possibly others on timers. They described turning a Birmingham street into a "little war zone" and wanting "another 9/11".

The court heard how the plot was frustrated because of the euro financial crisis and a decline in the price of gold. It was to be funded by trading £13,500 raised in phony street charity collections in the name of Muslim Aid on financial markets.

But the group's chief fundraiser, Rahin Ahmed, took "terrible losses" in August and September last year after losing £9,000 invested in the foreign exchange market in just four weeks. When confronted he told the gang's alleged ringleader, Naseer, that instability such as the "troubles in Europe" and "gold crashing" had made things "too uncertain". Ahmed has already admitted collecting and investing money for terrorist acts.

Four other men Naweed Ali, 24, Ishaaq Hussain, 20, Khobaib Hussain, 20, and Shahid Khan, 20, have pleaded guilty to going to Pakistan in August last year for terrorist training. Bahader Ali, 29, and another man Mohammed Rizwan, 33 deny terror charges they face and will stand trial next year.

The trial continues.

Britain
Men 'planned mass suicide attack'
2012-10-22
[BBC] Three Birmingham men have gone on trial accused of planning a bomb campaign prosecutors say may have been bigger than the 7 July London attacks.

The men are accused of planning a mass suicide bomb campaign that could have led to eight rucksack bombs being used against multiple targets in the UK.
Let me guess their names: George, Christopher, and Nigel...
The accused are Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali, both 27.
What, no Mahmoud?
The men, appearing at Woolwich Crown Court, deny engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.

The terror charges relate to the period between December 2010 and September 2011. Mr Naseer, from the Sparkhill area of Birmingham, and Mr Khalid, from the Sparkbrook area, are also accused of preparing for acts of terrorism by receiving training in Pakistain.

The jury were told by prosecutors that the pair had recorded suicide videos in Pakistain that would have been played to the world had their plot been completed.

Opening the prosecution case, Brian Altman QC said the three men had been supported by other plotters from the Birmingham area who had helped them raise money by posing as charity workers. The men had set up a bomb factory and their plans were beginning to advance when they were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
, Mr Altman said.

He said the men are "jihadists" and "extremists" who were influenced by an al-Qaeda affiliated preacher, Anwar al-Awlaki
... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and Undieboomer Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list...

The preacher was killed in a drone strike in Yemen shortly after the arrest of the three men.

Mr Altman said the police "successfully disrupted a plan to commit an act or acts of terrorism on a scale potentially greater than the London bombings in July 2005", which killed 52 people.

"The defendants were proposing to detonate up to eight rucksack bombs in a suicide attack and/or to detonate bombs on timers in crowded areas in order to cause mass deaths and casualties."

And it is alleged that last year they were planning a bombing campaign that one of them described as "another 9/11".

It is alleged that, while in Pakistain, Mr Naseer and Mr Khalid received training in how to use weapons and how to make bombs and poisons. They are also accused of having made suicide videos while they were there.

The men are said to have returned to the UK in July 2011, and it is alleged the group then began trying to make home-made bombs, using a flat in Sparkbrook as their base.

In total, 11 men of Asian Pak and Bangladeshi origin were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
over the alleged bomb plot, along with one woman.

Six other men have already admitted travelling to Pakistain for terror training and raising money for terrorist acts.

Mr Altman said the trio on trial at Woolwich Crown Court were "senior members of a home-grown terror cell".

The group have also been accused of making bogus charity collections in Birmingham. The two causes they gathered money for received only a fraction of the funds they had collected, prosecutors say, while the rest was intended to pay for the planned attack.
So the widows and orphans never got the ammo they were promised...
Mr Altman said the men were "despicably stealing money from their own community donated to charity".

He said the defendants spent a lot of time and effort persuading others to join up with their cause in this country.

Cops feared a British 9/11
2011-09-29
More details on the recent arrestees.
Gang plotted suicide blitz in Britain, aimed to carry out a terror attack in Britain on the scale of 9/11.

Surveillance tapes revealed members of a six-strong group practised making bombs and poisons in a terror training camp in Pakistain, a court heard yesterday.
Someone is videotaping terror camps in Pakistan to that degree of fineness? How very clever of them!
One suspect was allegedly recorded by anti-terror officers saying: "This is Dire Revenge™ for everything they're doing. It is another 9/11."

The gang of Asian Mohammedans planned to drive around the country to make suicide strikes on various targets, it was said.

The plot was said to have been drawn up in Dire Revenge™ for cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that appeared in a Danish newspaper.
So they're going to blow up England for what appeared in a Danish newspaper. I suppose that makes sense. In an Islamic sort of way...
For what appeared in a local Danish newspaper years ago.
Police think the men aimed to fund their operation with money raised for a Mohammedan charity. But the plan hit a snag after the Birmingham-based gang allegedly lost thousands of pounds gambled on the Stock Exchange.

Police suspect the gang collected cash from Mohammedans during Ramadan, claiming to be raising funds for Mohammedan Aid. But it is alleged the charity never got the money. Five buckets containing £1,500 were found after police raids.

Five of the men, who were allegedly recorded talking of their plans in a bugged VW Passat, bizarrely compared themselves to Formula One aces Nigel Mansell and Jenson Button. Prosecutor Deborah Walsh told West London Magistrates' Court: "It must have been clear from what they said that they were plotting a terror campaign.

"One of them gives a running commentary about being Jenson Button and Nigel Mansell and one says, 'It is four jacket wallahs driving around ready to take on England'."
Oh my.
It was alleged that two of the men made bombs in safe houses in Pakistain and travelled into the countryside to explode them. They allegedly said they were forced to hide under trees from US military drones.

Gang members also made martyr videos, it was said. One suspect was allegedly recorded warning of "suicide bombs on the streets, spilling so much blood you won't believe it". No specific targets were identified in court.

Irfan Khalid, 26, Irfan Nasser, 30, and Ashik Ali, 26, are accused of plotting to be jacket wallahs and recruiting others for terrorist training. Nasser and Khalid are also charged with travelling to Pakistain for terrorism training. Rahin Ahmed, 25, is accused of helping others get terrorism training and collecting money to fund terrorist acts. Mohammed Rizwan, 32, and Ali's brother Bahader, 28, are accused of failing to provide information. Bahader Ali is also charged with allowing money or property to be available for terrorism.

The men, all from Birmingham, were remanded in jug to appear in court again next month.
