Voted "Most Likely to be a Terrorist"
2007-05-30
A TERROR suspect on the run for a week after breaking his Home Office curfew appeared in his school yearbook as the kid most likely to be . . . a TERRORIST. Ibrahim Adam, 20, was given the mock accolade by classmates, who also branded him the “rudest” boy in their year. The 2003 book — compiled by pupils when Adam was 16 — sees one ex-pal sum him up with the chilling phrase: “Known by many, understood by few.”

The fugitive’s form teacher at Seven Kings High School in Ilford, Essex, brands him “Mr Argumentative”. Another jokey award given to him and a girl he is pictured with dubs them the “most gorgeous couple”. The yearbook pictures Adam in his school uniform at age 11 and 16 — and includes a retort from him slamming classmates as “sados”. He blasts in badly-written English: “Its me the one who terrorized our form teacher! Hope you all remember me.” Adam — whose entry contrasts with other pupils tipped to be future Prime Minister or superstar — signs off by declaring: “Good luck in the future. IBZ.”

Cops fear Adam may be heading to Iraq to wage war on British troops — along with his brother Lamine, 26, and a third man. All three are terror suspects who scarpered last Monday after breaking Home Office control orders. Adam is the younger brother of Anthony Garcia, 25 — jailed for life as one of the Bluewater bomb plotters. Adam and third brother Lamine were made the subject of control orders over alleged plots to blow up troops abroad. They vanished after failing to call a private monitoring firm from their home in Barkingside, East London. Two days later Home Secretary John Reid released their names and that of fellow fugitive Cerie Bullivant, 24.

Adam, who was born in Algeria, left school in 2005. Yesterday a former classmate insisted the terror suspect was always “popular” with teachers. The ex-pal said: “No one can believe what’s happened.”

Police have distributed posters featuring a new picture of missing Bullivant. The CCTV snap shows him with his long hair shaven. It was taken a week ago when he last reported to Dagenham Police Station in East London. Cops are warning the public not to approach any of the three but to dial 999.

The disappearance of the trio has fuelled fresh controversy over control orders — which are used to keep tabs on terror suspects. Three others have also done a runner. On Friday one was named as Iraqi Bestun Salim. He is accused of links with Iraq’s slain al-Qaeda mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

#2  This must be what Marx was talking about with the bit about tragedy returning as farce.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Especially the imams down at Finsbury Park mosque! They thought the world of him. Always bending over at just the right time. Splendid lad, used to bring his mother flowers and all that ...

The ex-pal said: “No one can believe what’s happened.”

Especially everyone who sits on the Queen's Bench!
