Britain
"Dirty bomber" attacked in jail, mangled
2007-07-21
A man serving 30 years in jail for planning "dirty bomb" attacks in Britain and plotting to blow up U.S. financial institutions has been scarred for life after an attack in prison, his lawyer said on Monday.

Dhiren Barot, 35, considered by British and U.S. officials to be one of al Qaeda's most senior operatives in Europe after admitting conspiracy to murder last year, suffered a "horrific assault" last Friday, according to his lawyer Muddassar Arani.

She said a prisoner at the maximum security Frankland Prison in Durham had thrown boiling water on Barot's back which had led to a "physical punch up". Later while attending to his burns, another inmate poured boiling oil over his head. "Eesa (Dhiren) Barot has suffered various burns to his hands, forehead, head, neck and back. Eesa Barot as a result of the boiling oil having been poured over him has lost all of his hair," Arani said in a statement. "Barot is suffering from extensive pain and has been scarred for the rest of his life."

#24  Fit, sleek, good teeth, well-tended beards.

of course, you can't see the GPS/listening devices inserted by Joooo proctologists. They can only be retrieved surgically - or with a steak knife. Good luck, Paleos!

#23  OT but related... the pix of the Paleos as they were released from Jooojail showed them to be in glowing health. Fit, sleek, good teeth, well-tended beards.

Sigh.

#20  Perhaps Barot should have spent more time considering how his apprehension might expose him to the displeasure of those whose wives, children and relatives he was trying to kill. These terrorist maggots act with total impunity and then squeal like stuck pigs whenever they suddenly discover that there really are consequences for their heinous acts.

#16  "We are not asking for preferential treatment for Muslim prisoners -- what we are requesting is that Muslim prisoners should be afforded the same protection as other prisoners," she said.

Barot is being afforded the same protection as other prisoners: none.

#15  Khyam was secretly transferred from Belmarsh jail in South East London for radicalising other prisoners. A source said: "He and his followers were turning dozens of other inmates to radical Islamist ideas. He was moved before things got worse." The Crawley-born terrorist is now in a segregation wing at Frankland

Remove the threat. Hard to preach without a tongue

#14  Among the crooks and criminals are people with an identity to a 'sovereign' nation. That's what the Anti-American lawyers working on behalf of the terrorists don't care about. Move them from Gitmo for processing like non-war criminals, they'll be in the general prison population and of short life. In the end the anti-American lawyers don't give a crap about the terrorists. It's all about undermining [with the aid of judges who have no concept of 'consent of the governed'] America. The terrorists are exploited and expendable just as any pawn for the 'Movement'[TM]. Abdul meet Cindy.

#8  ...and the obligatory

Arani said the attack on Barot raised fears that Muslim prisoners would be targeted in jail and accused the prison authorities of not doing enough to protect them.

Fears? Who's "fears"?

"We are not asking for preferential treatment for Muslim prisoners -- what we are requesting is that Muslim prisoners should be afforded the same protection as other prisoners," she said.

We'd like to help you out, but us infidels gotta spend so much to protect ourselves from folks like your client, that there ain't a lot to go around...

This story might actually rate TWO Sympathy Meters.

#7  looks like Omar Khyam, the Bluewater bomber, is next cab off the ranks. The gutless wonder is trying to get transferred out of Frankland prison before they get him.
