Hassan Tabakh complains that the British government did not take his views into account when they forced him to wear an electronic tag upon his release from prison. It is unlikely, however, that he took the views of the potential victims of his jihad bomb attack into account as he prepared to murder them. Nonetheless, the British government is so anxious not to appear “Islamophobic” that they are likely to take off his tag forthwith — and given their abject stance before the forces of Islamic supremacist intimidation and thuggery, I think Tabakh has a good shot at becoming the next Prime Minister.
“Would be terrorist bomb-maker complains about having to wear electronic tag,” by Ben Hurst for the Birmingham Mail, April 3:
A would-be terrorist bomb maker claims the Government violated his human rights by failing to take his views “into account” before forcing him to wear an electronic tag on his release from prison.
Birmingham physics graduate, Hassan Tabbakh, 44, was arrested after police found instructions for making explosives and incomplete bombs mixed in drink bottles at his home in 2007.
Tabbakh, then of Camelot Way, Small Heath, was jailed for seven years at Birmingham Crown Court in July, 2008 after he was convicted of preparing an act of terrorism.
He was released on licence on June 23, 2011, subject to ”rigorous” security restrictions, including wearing a tag so that the authorities knew where he was at all times.
But Tabbakh, who claims he came to the UK after fleeing torture in Syria, insists he was never given a chance to argue against the restrictions before the Multi Agency Prisoner Protection Agency (MAPPA) imposed them.
His barrister, Phillippa Kaufmann QC, said: “He had not been informed in advance that a condition of electronic tagging was in contemplation.
“He had had no meaningful opportunity to make representations about the necessity and likely impact of such a condition before the decision to impose it was taken.
“There was no properly informed assessment of the impact of the tag on Tabbakh’s mental health”.
Tabbakh’s judicial review challenge was rejected by a judge last year, but now he is battling on in the Court of Appeal in what is seen as a crucial test of Home Office policy on the early release of potentially dangerous prisoners.
Miss Kaufmann said that, while Tabbakh’s conditions had since been softened, the issue could affect him if he were ever incarcerated again, as well as many other prisoners due for parole.
However, James Strachan QC, representing Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, said Tabbakh’s complaints were was “not well founded” and it was hardly surprising that he had been subject to tough controls immediately after his release from jail.
The QC said: “Tabbakh was being released after conviction for an extremely serious terrorist offence. He himself knew he was adjudged to be a high risk to the community upon release unless he was subject to the most rigorous security”.
Mr Strachan said the MAPPA system “works effectively so that offenders’ representations, so far as they are going to be relevent or carry weight, are taken into account” before licence conditions are imposed.
In 2007, Police raided Tabbakh’s home and found chemicals mixed in soft drink bottles, which were in fact not viable bombs due to the “poor grade” of the ingredients used.
Instructions he had written to accompany the bottles, setting out how they should be destroyed in order to dispose of any incriminating fingerprints, were also recovered.
Alongside the partially-constructed devices, there was also a prayer in Arabic, which read: “Allah will keep you safe and grant you success in your work for the sake of Allah.”
Among the damning materials found at Tabbakh’s home were Al-Qaeda videos showing an attack on a coalition convoy.
Lords Justice Richards, Aikens and Patten reserved their decision on Tabbakh’s appeal until a later date.
Guy Macher says
The on;y tag he should be wearing should be on his big toe.
enwhitenment says
That’s a bit harsh Guy,
After all he was only making bombs !
But this electronic tag has ruined his jihadi life.
No more invites to jihad training, no more invites to child grooming parties, no more raping without being caught ! it has ruined his islamic right to kill & not be punished.
The only injustice here is that the tag does not explode if he steps in the wrong place.
Then you can tag his toe (if you can find one)
Angemon says
I’d say he should be wearing a giant cucumber shaped tag up his anus, but that would probably be to his benefit:

Off topic: It’s rather eerie that Jihad Watch has had nothing about the recent Fort Hood shooter. It’s not as if anyone knows for sure this had nothing to do with Islam; and Jihad Watch has had multiple stories about the Malaysian plane, when the Islam connection there has remained circumstantial.
mariam rove says
In fact it is the other way around. It shows JW has integrity and, responsible Journalism. The Malaysian airlines has many indication that pilot was not happy with current government and they guy was a supporter the former prime minister.
hence the reportings are correct and and related to JW cause, where this Fort Hood shooting if you follow the news is clear that this guy has PSTD and was not a jihadist yelling Allahakbar like Major Nidal did. Sa my hats off to JW.m
mariam rove says
The PC media and the stealth jihadists want to tell you that those who go blow themselves are either poor or uneducated. Well Bin Laden was worth 5 billion and yes billion with a B. And this guy:
Birmingham physics graduate, Hassan Tabbakh,…..
you don’t get a degree in physics unless you are smart.. therefore it is Islam and the doctrine of Islam that is responsible for this. M
Isabella says
Obviously, this guy will never understand he did something wrong so he is unfit to live in a Western society he hates anyway.
UK when are you going to realize you are going to go bankrupt in spending money on people whom you have by the hundreds who are so subversive and wait the moment to shed blood?
Charli Main says
Another stealth Jihadist slithering into Britain, playing the ” asylum” card.
Give Muslims a home and a chance of a new life and they immediately start fighting to turn it into an exact copy of the shit hole they ran away from.
enwhitenment says
A lot of asylum seekers have been persecuted in their home countries & many have spent years in jail.
Their home countries persecute them because they are “dangerous.”
The UK let them in because they say they are in “danger.”
No worries just a typo….
convert you or kill you is the only thing islam teaches.
JAMES says
Hassan Tabbakh should thank his lucky stars that he isn’t
wearing a rope while he is thrown into a shit house hole
Salah says
“Tabbakh, then of Camelot Way, Small Heath, was jailed for seven years at Birmingham Crown Court in July, 2008 after he was convicted of preparing an act of terrorism.”
That’s the problem with our judicial system; anyone convicted of preparing an act of terrorism is a terrorist, he must be jailed for LIFE. We also need to reinstate the death penalty as soon as possible.
Daphdong says
But before administrating the death penalty they should be washed thoroughly in pigs blood with a nice meal of pork. As soon as that has been done, then administer the death penalty and broadcast it as a warning to all would be terrorists and people like Anjem Choudary who wish to instill sharia throughout Britain
enwhitenment says
This anti pig thing with islam is because islam was cursed for it’s evil nature.
Just look at choudary & the other jihadis they all carry the facial features of swine.
Funny how they love the stinky billy goat that urinates on itself to attract females.
gerard says
Released with a tag?
Lock the SOB up and throw away the key!
enwhitenment says
Jailed for seven years but released after three years ?
No problem just chain him back up to the dungeon wall four four years.
Then send him back to Syria where he belongs.
He would make a fine wife for a jihadi with all the man loving he has enjoyed from his brothers inside.
Charli Main says
Love it !!!!! but he can´t be sent back to Syria. Remember, he is an asylum seeker–HIS LIFE WOULD BE IN DANGER.
The Muslim arse kissing British Government care less for the lives of its own citizens (regardless of colour) than the lives of those “asylum” seekers intent on murdering them.
