The runaway terrorist, his burka disguise, and a compensation bid | |
2013-11-12 | |
Mohammed Ahmed MohamedÂ’s escape is one of the oldest tricks in the book, so how did he flee police? In many ways, it reads like an airport thriller.
After spending several hours in the dilapidated An-Noor Masjid (mosque) and community centre on Church Road in Acton, west London, he sliced off his electronic tag, slipped on a burka and vanished. The fugitive had been subject to a controversial Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure (Tpim) notice, which was supposed to restrict his movements. The date was November 1; the time 3.15pm. That was the moment when Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed stepped out of the ranks of obscurity and became one of the most wanted men in Britain. On Friday, a warrant was issued for his arrest. | |

#4 The reporter who posted pictures of the fugitive has been charged with a hate crime, or something like that. |

#3 Just to pull the authorities beard, there should be several 'everyone wear a burka' day in a year. There goes the surveillance protocols. |
