Some serious Inner Spiritual Struggle training going on in the UK: “Terror suspect: ‘I’m Osama bin London….and I’ve got a bomb,'” from the Daily Mail :
A muslim organised terrorist training camps which were attended by members of the failed 21/7 plot to blow up the Tube network, a court heard today.
Mohammed Hamid was arrested at a stall in Oxford Street with Muktar Said Ibrahim, the self-styled “Emir” of the bombing plot, the jury was told.
Hamid told police he was “Osama bin London” adding, “I’ve got a bomb and I’m going to blow you all up.” He was among five defendants who went on trial today at Woolwich crown court on terrorist charges.
For the first time it can be revealed that the man described as Hamid’s “partner in terrorist conversions” has admitted soliciting murder in the training camps across the UK. A court order was lifted today to allow reporting of Atilla Ahmet’s guilty pleas last month at the Old Bailey to three counts of encouraging others to commit murder.
David Farrell, prosecuting, told the jury that Hamid had been involved in radicalising Muslim youths for two years.
The terrorist training took the form of camping and paint-balling trips in Sussex and the New Forest but had a serious intent, the court heard. They were designed to “foster within the participants that they were training for ‘Jihad’ against the ‘Kuffir’, or nonbelievers”.
The prosecutor added: “To put it another way, their statements and actions resulted in the encouragement, direct and indirect, of the commission of acts of terrorism.
“As you will hear, a number of young men who attended camps organised by Hamid were in fact involved in attempts to kill and seriously injure passengers on the London transport network on 21 July 2005.”
