"It had been tied to the inner sleeve of her burka, but fell out as she reached down to scratch her leg ... It was described by police as "a mini encyclopaedia of weapons-making."
"Truly Multicultural" Britain Update. "Woman admits owning terror files," from BBC News, November 2:
A woman who was caught with a computer memory stick containing documents about how to make explosives has pleaded guilty to terror charges.
Houria Chahed Chentouf, 41, admitted two counts of possessing documents likely to be useful for a terrorist purpose at Manchester Crown Court.
The stick fell from her burka when she was being interviewed at Liverpool John Lennon Airport on 16 October 2008.
The Moroccan national was arrested at her home in Manchester the next day.
Chentouf had been stopped at the airport and was being interviewed by officers when the USB pen drive was found.
It had been tied to the inner sleeve of her burka, but fell out as she reached down to scratch her leg, prosecutor Simon Denison told the court.
Martyrdom support
She was released but arrested at a house she was renting in Reynell Road, Longsight by officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
The mother-of-six was charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 with possessing an article which gave rise to suspicions that "the possession was for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism".
The computer memory stick contained more than 7,000 files, including an explosives manual for the "Brothers of the Mujahadeen".
It was described by police as "a mini encyclopaedia of weapons-making", the court heard.
Evidence was also uncovered from internet chat rooms which indicated her support for those seeking martyrdom.
Chentouf lived in The Hague for more than 20 years and the Dutch authorities were also involved in the inquiry.
She will be sentenced later.
She went to scratch her leg.........thank God for fleas! As a youngster I went to school in Manchester in the mid fifties. Don't ever recall seeing even one burka in those days. If England can ever deport they will and then we'll follow suit.
I live in uk and regularly (excessively) listen to the bbc, follow other news sources such as guardian.co.uk, and at no time have heard anything about this original incident or the trial report as here. Only on checking jihadwatch did it come to my knowledge.
Another reason to ban the burqa. How many times have we heard of women—or men, dressed as women—in burqas smuggling arms, or strapped with explosives? Now we can add this incident to the list. I doubt it is a rarity.

She's 41 and only has six children? She must have married late in life, probably her early twenty's...
'evidence was also uncovered from internet chat rooms which indicated her support for those seeking martyrdom'.
Probably her way of getting even with her husband by proxy...

It is clearly a security issue. And the US Constitution is not a suicide pact.
"The stick fell from her burka when she was being interviewed at Liverpool John Lennon Airport on 16 October 2008."
Singly, and above all together, the remarkable details of a sentence we have inured ourselves to read as unremarkable -- "the stick" that "fell from her burqa" when "she was being interviewed" at "Liverpool John Lennon Airport" paint a portrait of Decline and Imminent Fall.
Let's hope the investigation leads to others who were planning on using the files.
Not to be racist or Islamophobic, but the authorities should probably start looking somewhere inside the Islamic community...
Looking on the bright side as is my cheerful nature..this was a minor if not major intelligence score..I'm guessin'.
Quran59:2-8
It appears in this mornings BBC Newspaper and there has been no trial yet.
A 40-something mother of six, aiding and abetting those who want to mass-murder us.
Would any of the JW asymptotics care to articulate again your argument for trusting millions of Muslims? The JW asymptotics should be able to recognize themselves as those who balk and put up resistance whenever I say that all Muslims are to be treated with equal suspicion of deadliness. If we are not to put all Muslims under equal suspicion, that means how many Muslims are not to be under suspicion? And by what criteria are they exempt, while others aren't? Please present an argument whereby it would be reasonable to exempt some Muslims from that suspicion. On what grounds would you exempt them? That they are nice, polite, friendly, wear Western clothes, have no police record? That they are a middle-aged mother of six? Please tell, I'm all ears.
From above: Would any of the JW asymptotics...
Boy am I glad I'm not one of those...that must hurt...
My basic motto is 'never underestimate anyone', especially Mahoundians...You never know when a pious submitter might have an Allahgasm, and blow something up...
For those that are wondering what Mohammedan colonization of the UK looks like.

John Lennon Airport huh?? Isn't that the guy who wrote "Imagine" - the (unknowingly) most anti-Islamic song ever written??
"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace..."
she should've used duck tape
Interesting, my post is not here. Did anyone see a post by me here?
I heard that before he was killed a friend visited John Lennon at his NY apartment. Seeing the luxury he lived in complete with several servants he asked, "But what about imagine??????????? Lennon replied "Its just a song"
The day is coming when passengers will all have to strip down to their underwear. And when that happens, Muslims will protest that this is not possible, this is intolerable. And they will simply have to do without flying, unless "Islam Air" -- proposed at this site before -- comes into existence. And since all over the Western world all flights of "Islam Air" will require special monitoring (so that one doesn't, for example, happen to smash into a building) by the relevant Infidel air forces, that will have to be reimbursed for the additional expenses, it may be that Muslims will no longer be able, save in a handful of exceptional cases, to fly.
Well, until the Western world invented the airplane, and then further developed planes, and all that goes with the modern system of transportation by air, no Muslim flew. Muhammad didn't fly. And he was the Perfect Man. For now, let's leave it at that.
Well, I'll be a Muslim's uncle! My post suddenly appeared!
duh swami, it looks like you're not an asymptotic, so no worries :)
However, for concrete policies the West will have to take in the future, more precision is needed than merely a rather vague "never underestimate anyone". We would have to stipulate actual treatment of Muslims based on specific guidelines of what constitutes suspicion, and then ensure that the suspicion is uniform and applies to all Muslims -- unless someone can persuasively argue for why certain Muslims, and how many of them, are to be exempt from that treatment.
Re: John Lennon's Imagine, I believe some JW reader a couple of years ago penned a variation, something along the lines of
Imagine there's no Islam;
it's easy if you try...
In a following verse he talks about "no possessions" but that's OT in this discussion.
It might be "just a song" but I'm guessing that in a Sharia society it could get him in serious hot water.
Moroccan National what is she doing in Manchester with 6 children? Unlike France and Spain, Britain has never had any connection with Morocco.
The thing is her 6 children were probably born there and have automatic citizenship. So IF she does get time, "uman rites" laws will make it impossible to deport her let alone her brood.
It is said they deported a foreign rapist in the last few years who was not necessarily a muslim. Because he had a family in the UK he not only forced them to re-admit him but won compensation for being deported in the first place.
Lawyers call it defending civil liberty - most people would call it a death wish.
Update--actually this case has been mentioned on bbc radio news! So I retract my above comments (please delete).
Hesperado, I may not the only one [no pun intended] who posted a variation on Imagine but mine went like this:
Imagine there's no islam
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no jihad
These days it's hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no mo momo too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no mo momo
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
.

And Guess Who those six future jihadists are living off of?

"Evidence was also uncovered from internet chat rooms which indicated her support for those seeking martyrdom.
But Judge Michael Henshell, sentencing, said the Crown had accepted that she had no intention of using the material.
Including not passing it on? I sure hope most Brits, when they read this, said something like "how the hell did we get such incredibly stupid judges?"
He bought the lawyers fabrication that the 7000 jihad-useful documents were collected just for fun? She should be put away a lot longer and so should that judge but in a mental institution.
Britain is in critical Muslim trouble not only because of low life traitorous lying liberal sellout politicians, they've got Muslim friendly judges out of Alice's Wonderland!
Judge Michael Henshell concludes that the burgaed bezonian in question had "no intention of using the material"? But then why download 7,000 files? Just for the hell of it? Or does Judge Henshell think "using" must mean that she herself would produce an explosive device and set it off, and not that she might be transferring the information, on a handy zip drive, to those who will put the information to deadly use?
.
Makes you wonder what ALTERNATIVE RELKITY these judges and all the rest of them are living in.

I'm going with suicide pact.
If you ever reduce the number of such persons in your midst, I would be happy to go to a public house with you. It would be an event worth celebrating.
Yup..(Only)Six kids who don't give a s**t about you (and vise-versa) will do that to a good believin' mo-momma. That "judge" should be dis-barred pronto.
Yeah, I'm going to go with "better safe than sorry" with the whole "can we trust Muslims?"
Some arguments against trusting Muslims (very sorry, Muslims, but that whole jihad thing has just a little worried. Besides, more Muslims have been killed by other Muslims than any other group. Did I mention that Muslims are the first victims of Islam.)
1. Taquiyya
2. Kittman
3. That whole "conquering the world for Islam" thing.
4. Jihad (money, population, war, killing, da'wa, supremacy and intolerance)
5. The whole kuffar are feces attitude.
6. Lying and cheating kuffars are okay with Allah notion.
7. 1400 years of broken treaties.
8. What are we, crazy?
Hang her !
How does the judge draw such a conclusion? Do people normally conceal and carry bomb making diagrams in their day to day lives? Is it possible that Michael Henshell has either been intimidated or bribed, since his reaction to this matter really does challenge basic sense?
I love the alternative Imagine lyrics
"It had been tied to the inner sleeve of her burka, but fell out as she reached down to scratch her leg..." -- from the article.
Memo from Ayman al-Zawahiri to jihadis: Listen up! I would have thought you would have gotten the hint on how to get through security when one of our brothers hid explosives in his body cavity...This doesn't just apply to men and to explosives, you dolts. Now go forth and do the right thing.
The BBC is IN THE TANK for the NOT SO STEALTHY JIHAD in the U.K..
A Muslim is the head of BBC,now,but the Politicization of the BBC,goes back LONG BEFORE.
It even Extends to Fictional Entertainment programs.
There are instances of ANTI-Tory/Conservative Party themes that are also FAVORABLE to the "Stealth Jihad" written in to story lines.
THIS is a Glaring Example of what a CONTROLLED MEDIA Can Do.
Imagine there's no Islam
It can make you cry.
For all the girls just this year
Who wouldn't have had to die.
I would start checking out her known associates, beginning with everyone who attends the same mosque she does...
If she was not going to use the information, why did she try to hide it? Who is paying the judge?
Every person wearing a burqua should be profiled; led out of the queue and every bit of baggage checked, their burquas removed and checked and then get a non-Muslim dressed like a Muslim (so as not to "offend") really feel the woman over as they do at Muslim country airports.
At the very least.
We need to learn a new game, called rational discrimination. And punish people like this in accordance with the serious security threat they represent, ie harshly.
If you wear a disguise expect to be treated as a criminal.
It should be that simple.
The evidence just keeps mounting....Muslims are planning continous violence...
At least she was caught while crossing the border, as opposed to years after being welcomed as an immigrant and doing the crime first :)
If more Brits would study the real history of the mental AIDS of Islam and its world domination directive and arm themselves, they'd find the resolve. Try the Historyscoper, it's free and online.

TL Winslow - I spent several hours reading your excellent history of Islam at http://go.to/islamhistory . It's the first time I had seen it proposed that Islam was created as a Jewish conspiracy to check the Christians that got out of control. Not sure I buy this, nor some of the other conspiracies you attribute to the Jews, but very imaginative nevertheless. Otherwise, very, very nice job bringing together a summary of 1,400 years of Islam history, complete with links. I have bookmarked it for further study as time permits.
Islam a Jewish conspiracy!? What the fuck!!!??? That's vile tripe, and so is the author. I don't care how good the rest of it is.
Good score!!!!
