Bakri in demand for terror attacks months before 7/7
NAIL HIM NOWINVESTIGATION We unearth video rant that should send hate cleric to prison at last Bakri in demand for terror attacks months before 7/7 By Daniel Jones Daniel.Jones@People.Co.Uk Click to see the video CHILLING film of hate cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed urging a terror attack on Britain just months before the 7/7 blitz could finally put him behind bars. The People has unearthed recordings of the exiled Muslim extremist's vile rants - which experts believe are enough to nail him on terrorism charges. In one clip Bakri suggests an onslaught on public transport similar to the Madrid train blasts - and soon afterwards 52 died and hundreds were hurt in the London bus and Tube suicide bombings. Syrian-born Bakri - who fled to Lebanon after 7/7 in 2005 - also warns British Muslims who join the Army to "mind their heads." His words are a sinister echo of the recent foiled plot to kidnap and behead a soldier. We can also reveal that Bakri's followers were plotting to kidnap prison officers and "hang them from lampposts" to barter for the release of prisoners like hook-handed preacher Abu Hamza. A People investigator has spent months trawling through Muslim websites, examining posts and videos to compile a dossier on Bakri. In a film titled Original Rules for the Kuffar (non-believers) he rants about tackling British and American forces. Bakri, 48, says: "The original rules... between Islam and kuffar is the war, is not the peace." Waving his hands wildly, he storms: "When they (British troops) attack your homeland, attack back their own homeland. Don't make your own land the battlefield. You understand. "You see, the issue of Madrid was the best example of how should be the reaction of the Muslims in relation to the occupiers. "That is what should be. And I believe another operation in America or in Italy or in France or in Britain... they will cause worldwide confronta- tion between the two camps and they will become (inaudible Arabic word)." The Madrid train bombings in March 2004 killed 191 commuters. Bakri, who ran the radical al-Muhajiroun group from his home in Tottenham, north London, then calls for British Muslims to be prepared for a Holy War. "The jihad training, it needs people to adopt it and people to believe on it and people to start to work," he insists. In another film, called Priorities In Islam, Bakri launches a tirade against patriotic British Muslims who fight for our country. He warns them that people like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - the fanatic in Iraq who beheaded Ken Bigley - will be after them. He says: "Those socalled British Muslims who go and join the American and the British Army and go and kill Muslims...have no dignity, no sanctity. That is why when they go there they should mind their own heads. Beware of Abu Musabs everywhere. That is what we say to them." Bakri also attacks Muslims who join the police. Links to the Bakri videos were posted on the Al-Firdaws English Forum by someone called Bigg Muwahid. The rants are thought to have been recorded in community centres in London in early 2005. Charles Shoebridge, a former counter-terrorism intelligence officer, thinks The People's evidence could be crucial in nailing Bakri, who lived in Britain for 18 years before he was banned from returning from Lebanon. Mr Shoebridge explained: "Just as once was the case with Abu Hamza, the authorities have been reluctant to act against Bakri. "A reason given for this inaction was a claimed lack of hard evidence. But the videos show that this excuse doesn't stand scrutiny. "After the 7/7 attacks, the Government made it an offence to glorify terrorism. Bakri seems to go well beyond this by apparently directly calling for attacks. "On the face of it, these videos provide police with ample evidence to arrest Bakri should he ever set foot in the UK or any country with which the UK has an extradition treaty." The People also unearthed a video urging moves to kidnap prison officers to swap for jailed extremists like Hamza. The movie, from an Islamic forum, is a montage of clips recorded on a march from a mosque to Belmarsh prison. A smiling extremist, sporting a beard and white head scarf, says: "In Islam we have something called kidnapping, taking. When they arrest a Muslim brother we kidnap one of their tribe or one of their people so we can put pressure on them to release it or..." Another man says: "The quickest way, the fastest way, the safest way - march into Belmarsh, bust down the gates, drag this kuffar or the screws, hang them from every lamppost you see."
