| Two Algerians linked with al-Qaeda have been found guilty of plotting to raise money for terrorist activities. Brahim Benmerzouga, 31, and Baghdad Meziane, 38, planned to make money, equipment and propaganda material available to Islamic extremists, Leicester Crown Court heard during the eight-week trial. The two Algerians were also part of an international credit card fraud aimed at raising funds for terror organisations such as al-Qaeda. Benmerzouga and Meziane, who were both jailed for 11 years on Tuesday, are the first people in the UK to be convicted of being linked to al-Qaeda. Bravo the Brits, for sweeping their streets! |
