Married couple with 'common interest' in violent jihad are GUILTY of plotting 7/7-style suicide attack
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] An aspiring jacket wallah and his secret wife who had a 'common interest' in violent jihad have been found guilty of planning an ISIS-inspired terror attack on London after testing lethal bombs in their back garden.Another pair of common, everyday Pak names. Mohammed Rehman, 25, planned to blow up either Westfield shopping centre or the London Underground to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings. His jihadi dream was funded by his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, who used payday loans to buy fertiliser which her husband engineered into bombs. The court heard how the couple, who wed in secret in a traditional Islamic ceremony,
They even test fired one of their bombs in Rehman's back garden and recorded it on film. Their plot was only foiled when Rehman - who called himself the 'silent bomber' - sent a tweet asking for advice on which was the best target. As their plans gathered pace, Rehman asked his followers: 'Westfield shopping centre or London underground?' The tweet - sent from a profile showing a photograph of Jihadi John - was accompanied by a link to the al Qaeda uncensored media release about the July 7 atrocities. Officers then raided Rehman's home in Reading, Berkshire, where they found 10kg of nitrate explosives - double the amount of powder used in the failed 21/7 London bombings. The prosecution said the would-be bomber was just days away from completing the device which would have caused multiple casualties in the capital. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-30 |
