London Cabbie Bombmaker 'Murdered U.S. Soldier in Iraq' in 2007
2015-05-22
The mills of Justice grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.
[AnNahar] A London taxi driver who made bombs targeting coalition troops in the Iraq war was on Thursday convicted in a British court of murdering a U.S. soldier eight years ago.

Anis Sardar, 38, built an improvised bomb (IED) which killed Sergeant First Class Randy Johnson of 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment when it went kaboom! under his armored vehicle outside Baghdad on September 27, 2007.

Sardar was incarcerated
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
 in London in September 2014 after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation found his fingerprints on two bombs which were planted in the area at the time, although not the one which killed Johnson.

Sue Hemming, head of special crime and counter terrorism at Britannia's Crown Prosecution Service, called it a "landmark" prosecution which showed that "international borders are no barrier to Death Eaters in the UK being brought to justice."

"Anis Sardar is a highly dangerous man who created bombs so large that not only did they tragically kill Sgt Randy Johnson, but they put other lives in danger and caused significant damage to heavily armored U.S. military vehicles," she added. "He knew precisely what he was doing and was working with murderous intent against coalition forces."

Although his fingerprints were not on the bomb that killed Johnson, they were found on a range of other, similar devices planted in the surrounding area, along with those of Sajjad Adnan, whose prints were on the fatal device.

Adnan was previously in jug in Iraq but his current location is unknown.
Probably one of the many ISIS released from one or another Iraqi prison when they overran that particular area.
Inquiries by British police subsequently revealed that Sardar had spent a decade in Syria, returning to Britannia less than two months after Johnson died.

He claimed he was in Syria simply to learn Arabic, but detectives believe he met up with Adnan and other bombmakers to conspire and make and deploy IEDs in Iraq.

He was later found to have files on his computer containing instructions on how to make bombs.

Sardar is due to be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court in London on Friday.

#2  Interesting tangle. Guy who spent a lot of time in Syria is on trial in England for blowing up an American in Iraq.

Good thing the idiot was to lazy or stupid to wear gloves.

#1  he should have been stripped of citizenship and deported. We need to start giving all migrants "provisional citizenship" which can be revoked any time within 20 years if they are found to commit any violent crime.
