Abu Qatadah nabbed...

British authorities arrested Shaykh 'Umar Mahmood 'Uthmaan Abu 'Umar (aka Abu Qatadah al-Philisteeni) on Wednesday morning. Shaykh Abu Qatadah has been transferred to Belmarsh Prison, a maximum security facility in in south east London. His arrest comes after a long period that his whereabouts were unknown. The last time he was seen prior to his arrest was in Britain last December but he disappeared shortly after that when the British Parliament passed new internment laws in response to the 11 September attacks on America.
And he was caught cheating on the dole. He's holy, but not very honest...
Shaykh Abu Qatadah had previously been convicted in absentia by a military court in Jordan of planning attacks on American and Israeli targets as the alleged spiritual leader of the loosely structured group Harakat al-Islah wal-Thaddi or "The movement of reform and challenge". The group was accused of planting a bomb in a private school, and of setting fire to cars belonging to senior Jordanian military officials. No one was hurt in the attacks.
"Yarrr... A few sticks o' dynamite oughta reform and challenge 'em..."
He has been accused by police in eight countries of being a pivotal figure in the Al-Qaida network.
Well liked, isn't he? Y'think maybe one of those eight countries might be right?
Shaykh Abu Qatadah was granted political asylum in the UK after he repeatedly denied the accusations against him or links to any movement.
"Nope. Nope. Wudn't me. Nope. It was, ummm... somebody else."
A Jordanian citizen, Abu Qatadah is well known for his book Between two Methods (Bayn al-Minhajayn) which exposes his unique views on Islam. Previously he was one of the editors of “Al-Ansar”, the official publication of GIA and has also been described as Osama bin Laden's "ambassador" in Europe
GIA, lest we forget, is the Algerian association of bloodthirsty killers, one of the most vicious terror groups in the world...
David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, would say only that a suspect had been arrested on Wednesday under the antiterrorist laws. Security sources last night named the suspect as Abu Qatada. The 42-year-old Muslim cleric,was arrested at a council house in Bermondsey, South London, in a joint operation by Scotland Yard Anti-Terrorist Branch detectives and MI5 agents. Intelligence chiefs in Italy, Germany and France say they have evidence that Al-Qaida agents planning bomb and chemical attacks were in close contact with Abu Qatada. Some, like the leader of an Al-Qaida cell in Spain, also made frequent trips to London to visit him. His name is understood to have been at the top of the list for arrest and comes just days after he broke cover to justify the September 11 attacks. Shaykh Abu Qatadah released a ten-page document entitled The Legal Vision for the September 11 Events on the internet in which he outlines the "moral" case for the attacks, and praises bin Laden for challenging the United States.
Just couldn't keep his mouth shut, could he? Just had to gloat, didn't he?
The Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam, said “A man’s tribulation is in accordance to his Imaan.”
Of course, nobody's really sure why he said it, since it makes no sense. But if he said it, it must be holy...
