Would-be British mid-air suicide bomber gets 13 years in prison
The Islamic version of "Dumb and Dumber"...LONDON (AFP) - British would-be suicide bomber Saajid Badat, an accomplice of "shoebomber" Richard Reid, was jailed for 13 years Friday for plotting to blow up a passenger plane in mid-air. Badat, 25, who pleaded guilty in February, was alleged to have conspired to blow up an airliner simultaneously with compatriot Reid, who tried in December 2001 to blow up a Miami-bound flight with a bomb hidden in his shoe. Badat ultimately decided not to go ahead with the plot, but kept the dismantled device at his home in St James, Gloucester, in the west of England where the pieces were found in a police raid. Bright boys. One can't light a match, one forgets to toss the evidence. No raisins for you! Posted by: tu3031 2005-04-22 |
