Saajid Badat: 'walking angel' who became a terrorist
Saajid Badat
was quiet, softly spoken and respectful - a devout Muslim, described by one family friend as a ''walking angel''. | It's quite extraordinary how many walking angels turn into terrorists. Remarkable, really. |
A bright, well-educated man from a deeply religious family and an active member of his community, he seemed like the model citizen.
But unknown to those closest to him, Badat hid a dark secret - one that he would keep hidden until his arrest by anti-terrorism officers in November 2003. A secret that he had once hoped would go forever undetected.
| Bio details at the link. What's sad is that this guy had both the ability and many opportunities given him to contribute to society. The good news is that he decided not to explode the 'bring down the airplane' device he was given in training camps. The bad news is that he didn't go so far as to uncover other plots until he was caught. |
