A terrorist jailed for a plot to decapitate a British soldier is being investigated over a prison slashing. Al-Qaeda fanatic Parviz Khan was moved to a segregation wing after a fellow prisoner's neck and face were cut. The attack left the victim bleeding heavily and requiring treatment at an outside hospital. What weapon was used in the attack is unclear.
| Anyone check Khan's shaving kit? |
| If he's devout, he doesn't need one except to remove body hair ahead of a suicide attack. |
Khan, 41 has denied the slashing, which was recorded by CCTV cameras at top-security Long Lartin Prison. The father of four was jailed for life in 2008 over a conspiracy to kidnap a British Muslim soldier and behead him "like a pig". The aim was to deter others from joining the military.
Since being moved within Long Lartin he has been complaining about his conditions, describing his cell as "a cold, heating-less coffin".
| Get used to it, the afterlife is going to be the same for you... |
In a letter published online by a group which raises money for Muslim prisoners, he griped about having to "kick up a fuss" to get shoes and claimed his meals had been cut because he was giving staff trouble. |
