bought material that was sent to and used by the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based militant group fighting in Indian Kashmir and that Britain says has links to Al Qaeda. The group was banned in 2002 after being blamed for a bloody attack on the Indian parliament.

British police said that Khan had provided material for the group when it was planning and conducting operations in Afghanistan in 2002-3 when coalition forces were involved in heavy fighting in the region. “Khan is a terrorist,” said Peter Clarke, head of the UK’s anti-terrorism branch in a statement. “He has been trained in violence. He went to great lengths to buy terrorist equipment, some of which could well have been used against British forces.”
| That makes him a traitor, too. Have you thought about cutting his head off? That's what Good Queen Bess would have done. In fact, she'd have done it so quick it would have made his head... ummm... spin. |
London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that Khan had access to more than $35,000 to buy equipment, which included 1,000 sq metres of Kevlar – a material used to make armour plating for vehicles and for bulletproof armour. He was also involved in buying remote high tech videos and a global positioning system which were used to test an unmanned aerial “drone”. |
