How al-Qaeda 'tried to bring Baghdad to Birmingham'
 Not long back from his six-month tour in Iraq, the young Muslim soldier was puzzled when police called at his family home in Birmingham. What they had to say left him speechless with disbelief. Officers described how a gang from his home town was allegedly plotting to abduct the soldier, aged in his 20s, and then force him on film to apologise for what he had done in Iraq. After this propaganda coup, the gang intended to video themselves executing their hostage. His murder would be seen worldwide on the internet as a warning to other British Muslims regarded by the kidnappers as traitors. According to security sources, he was not the only soldier being targeted. At least one other Iraq veteran was given the same warning that he was to be the first hostage in the West to be kidnapped and killed by Islamic extremists. Posted by: Fred 2007-02-01 |
