| [AnNahar] Two men who plotted drive-by shootings in London of targets including soldiers and police and were inspired by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group received life sentences at a British court Friday. Ringleader Tarik Hassane, 22, will serve a minimum of 21 years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to murder and preparation of terrorist acts. Suhaib Majeed, also aged 22, will be in jail for at least 20 years after conviction on the same charges following a trial at the Old Bailey court last month. The court heard that Hassane had identified potential targets including a cop shoppe and an army reserve barracks, both in west London, and had planned to carry out the shootings from a moped. Passing sentence, Judge Alan Wilkie told them it was "shocking" that two men educated in Britannia "should be so influenced by the bloodthirsty version of Islam presented by ISIS (another acronym for IS) and other similarly minded groups, that you decided to take up arms against your fellow British citizens". |

| #5 If I understand correctly, they didn't actually do anything yet? That's how I read it too, g(ro)mgoru. It's a bit late, but does anyone remember what sentence that vicious idiot got who rammed that soldier with his car, then knifed him to death in front of the people walking by? Parents were Christian immigrants from Nigeria, as I recall, but the wastrel son converted. Or the Muslim rape gangs -- some of them have gone to trial, though not yet most, and the police and social workers, etc who did not believe the girls or did not speak up and act will likely never suffer for not doing their duty. Some of us do live or have lived in London or elsewhere in Britain, Grealet Stalin3886, or have friends and relations there. And certainly Rantburg has been following local British news since early in the millennium. So yes, we do have a clue. |
