Muslim jehadis land laptops in Brit jail!
Reports of Britain's Belmarsh Prison providing 1,000 pound laptops to 28 top terror suspects has invited the public's ire.The move has been branded as disgraceful and as a dangerous waste of money, though authorities at Belmarsh say the computers are necessary to enable the suspects to prepare their legal defences. According to The Mirror, critics of the proposal say that the 28,000 pounds would be better spent on upping security at the jail, which is about a third understaffed. They have also expressed the fear that the laptops could be used for criminal activity, despite there being no internet access. Among the prisoners likely to receive the laptops are the accused in the 21/7 attempted bombings in London, al-Qaeda suspects and members of the bullying Muslim Boys gang. The laptops will be handed to prisoners this week for private use in their cells. Hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza, 47, jailed for seven years last month for race hate and terror crimes, was given a laptop days after he arrived at the South London jail on remand. The terror suspects are lodged in a special high-security unit at Belmarsh. Posted by: tipper 2006-03-09 |
