Ha ha! Omar, you hockey puck! Stop it, you’re killing me! From the Telegraph, with thanks to JE:
One of the leaders of a gang of Muslims allegedly planning to attack Britain joked about bombing the House of Commons during Prime Minister’s Questions, a court was told yesterday.
Omar Khyam, from Crawley, West Sussex, said he had joked with friends about attacking Parliament but never meant it to be taken seriously.
Giving evidence in the second day of his defence at the Old Bailey, Khyam, 24, said he had been watching television in the flat he shared with Mohammed Babar, an American. “I remember watching, on Wednesday, Prime Minister’s Questions. I said ‘Imagine if you dropped a bomb right then and there. It would take out all the MPs’.”
Ha ha! Somebody call Leno! This guy is priceless!
He said Babar and two other friends from Britain, “just laughed” and claimed that it was neither a serious proposition nor a plan.
But asked if he had ever met any members of al-Qa’eda, Khyam admitted: “Yes, probably.”
Khyam admitted paying for a training camp on the Afghan border but said it was “just two tents and a few guns” and denied there had been any explosives training.
Just two tents and a few guns? Oh, well, then, it must have been peaceful.
