A terrorist jailed for a plot to decapitate a British soldier is being investigated over a prison slashing. Al-Qaeda fanatic Parviz Khan was moved to a segregation wing after a fellow prisoner's neck and face were cut. The attack left the victim bleeding heavily and requiring treatment at an outside hospital. What weapon was used in the attack is unclear.
Anyone check Khan's shaving kit? | If he's devout, he doesn't need one except to remove body hair ahead of a suicide attack. | Khan, 41 has denied the slashing, which was recorded by CCTV cameras at top-security Long Lartin Prison. The father of four was jailed for life in 2008 over a conspiracy to kidnap a British Muslim soldier and behead him "like a pig". The aim was to deter others from joining the military.
Since being moved within Long Lartin he has been complaining about his conditions, describing his cell as "a cold, heating-less coffin".
Get used to it, the afterlife is going to be the same for you... | In a letter published online by a group which raises money for Muslim prisoners, he griped about having to "kick up a fuss" to get shoes and claimed his meals had been cut because he was giving staff trouble. |
