Clearly he is an uneducated, jobless type with no choice but to turn to jihad. Get him a job, and all will be well.
“Al-Qaeda bomb plotter ‘took sightseeing photos at alleged targets including British shopping center,'” Dailymail.com, February 26, 2015 (thanks to Thomas Pellow):
These are the pictures which prosecutors say prove an alleged al Qaeda operative accused of planning a series of bombings was scouting locations to mount an atrocity.
A court in New York has released the photographs – taken around the city center of Manchester, England – which form part of the evidence against Abid Naseer.
The 28-year-old Pakistani student was extradited from Britain to stand trial in the U.S. over charges of planning multiple attacks in Europe and America. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Naseer is accused of leading an al Qaeda cell that was planning to bomb Manchester’s Arndale shopping centre over the Easter weekend in 2009 – as well as a separate plot to attack the New York subway.
He never faced charges in the UK and the evidence against him has only emerged six years after his arrest.
Naseer is alleged to have been at the helm of a British Al-Qaeda terror cell that was part of a broader conspiracy ‘to repeat the devastation of 9/11’.
Prosecutors called it one of the most serious terror plots since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
As well as blowing up the Arndale Centre, the terror group planned to set off bombs in the New York subway and at the offices of a Copenhagen newspaper that had published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, it is alleged.
Naseer, a former student in the UK studying English and computer science, denies the charges.
He is being tried in the United States because of the supposed link to the subway. …

The IRA bombed the Arndale Centre in 1996 injuring 212. It would have had a profound effect on the psyche of the British people if they had bombed the same place.

Imagine if Aafia Siddiqui had never been admitted into the USA to “study”.
Enormous amounts of trouble and expense would have been saved.
For that matter: imagine if identifiable Muslims had *never* been admitted, wholesale, into the West, from the 1950s onward. Imagine if, in the wake of the 1948 and then 1967 wars, *all* Muslims had been evicted from every part of Israel (including, after 1967, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria) – not the Arab Christians, *just* the Muslims. Imagine if, during Partition in 1947, population exchange had been complete: not one non-Muslim remaining in Pakistan (East or West) and *not one Muslim* remaining in what would become modern India. Does anyone doubt that all the non-Muslims in Israel, India, and the West would now be much better off and safer, and that their governments would be much less strapped for cash and suffering far fewer homeland-security headaches?

According to the San Remo Convention, which was approved by the League of Nations by 51 countries and is Interntional Law, Israel has a right to the West Bank and a vote by the General Assemby of he UN in 1948 could not legally change that http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/san_remo.html

The Arndale Centre in Manchester NW England was Blown up by the IRA in the 1970s and rebuilt. This scrote obviously thought the public won’t expect lightening to strike twice.

His big mistake was including the US in his terror plans. If he had only targeted Britain, he probably would be walking the streets of London a free man, if not in Syria.

Let me guess: he’s just a tourist at heart, or an amateur photographer, and was taking pictures of landmarks, or landscapes, or whatever. No harm done, can I go home now, filthy kuf… I mean, Mr. Nice Policeman?
