| 2017-12-07 |
| [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Two men charged over an alleged Islamist plot to blow up the gates of Downing Street and assassinate the Prime Minister have indicated they will deny terror charges. Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman, 20, and Mohammed Aqib Imran, 21, were driven into Westminster Magistrates' Court in a security van this morning after being charged with planning terror attacks yesterday. Investigators suspect the pair wanted to detonate a bomb hidden in a bag in Whitehall before using a boom jacket, pepper spray and knife to attempt to kill Theresa May. No formal pleas were entered at a court appearance this morning, but magistrates heard the men intend to deny charges when they are brought before the Old Bailey later this month. Rahman, from north London, is accused of planning to bomb Downing Street's security gates and then attack the Prime Minister in the ensuing chaos. He was allegedly caught with two IEDs when police swooped in west London last week. He gave his nationality as Bangladeshi-British and appeared in court wearing a grey tracksuit, with long hair this morning. He has been charged with preparing acts of terrorism and appeared in court alongside Mohammed Aqib Imran, 21, who is accused of trying to join ISIS. The security service and police have thwarted 22 terrorist plots in the past four years and there are more than 500 live investigations ongoing. Police chiefs are struggling to handle more than 3,000 subjects of interest, along with a growing pool of more than 20,000 individuals identified during terrorist inquiries. |
