| 2010-11-18 |
| (KUNA) -- A 23-year-old man was Wednesday charged with soliciting murder and other offences under the Terrorism Act in relation to a blog listing MPs it claimed voted for the Iraq war, police said. Bilal Zaheer Ahmad, of Wolverhampton, England, was jugged last Wednesday in connection with the website which influenced a student who tried to kill MP Stephen Timms. He was appearing at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London this morning, the police added. Ahmad was charged with soliciting murder, West Midlands Police, central England, said. He was also charged with three counts of possessing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000. The hit list of MPs who voted for the Iraq war was removed from the orc website revolutionmuslim.com after the Home Office urged the US to act against it. The website hailed the student who tried to kill Labour's Stephen Timms as a "heroine". The site was among those cited as an influence by Roshonara Choudhry, 21, who was jugged for life earlier this month for stabbing MP Timms twice in the stomach at his office. |

| #1 This will prove an interesting case. If he gets a harsh sentence, it means the pols still control the government. If he gets a wrist slap, it means that the mandarins have taken control. |
