Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslim nuclear power plant worker caught studying bomb-making websites while at work

Oct 29, 2015 12:47 pm By Robert Spencer

No one would have considered trying to vet him and determine his attachment to the jihad doctrine before hiring him. That would have been “Islamophobic.”

Hunterston B

“Scots nuclear power plant worker caught studying BOMB-MAKING websites at work,” by David Taylor, Daily Record, October 27, 2015:

A WORKER at a Scots nuclear power plant has been allegedly caught studying bomb-making websites at work.

The staff member was marched off the premises at Hunterston B, West Kilbride, this morning after a shocked colleague raised the alarm.

Police are now investigating the worker accessing “inappropriate material” while working at the nuclear facility.

The man, who is believed to be a Muslim who moved recently from England, has worked at the North Ayrshire facility for around four weeks.

He was spotted by a fellow colleague on Monday, who reported his concerns to management.

The contractor works as a ‘special entry assistant’ at the power station, and his role involves him going into the heart of the plant to assist tradesmen.

He was allegedly seen viewing inappropriate websites on homemade explosives on a laptop computer, which he slammed shut after being spotted by a work mate.

When he arrived for work on Tuesday, he was escorted from the premises by security guards and plant owners EDF called in police.

A source at the plant said: “The guy has only worked here for a short time.

“He is a low-level employee, but has access to the reactor, where he basically helps out tradesmen working on it.”

Speaking about the incident with the laptop, the source added: “One of his colleagues spotted him engrossed in a laptop on Monday.

“As he passed by, it was slammed shut, but not before the fellow worker got an eyeful of what he had been looking at.

“To him it looked like some sort of website on how to make bombs .

“He reported his concerns to bosses, and theguy [sic] was escorted of the site today.

“You can’t have people with access to a nuclear core having any sort of interest in explosives.

“No one knows what was going through his head, but its not what you want to see in a nuclear power plant.”…

    Hmm! Nuclear plant in Scotland, owned by EDF which in turn is largely owned by the French Govt. So who’s responsible?

    Not me gov.

      Get the Muslim immigrants under control EVERYWHERE. By the way, the name “John Thomas” is not the guy’s ‘re a l name,I’m 99% sure. In Great Britain, it is another word for a man’s genitalia. Now THAT’S funny!

        Well, Lucia, I’ve got to tell you that John Thomas IS my real name (and I live in Britain) – however, I’m not the one who wrote the comment here – maybe he’s a real John Thomas, also … there’s a lot of us around…) Maybe if the French government owned it there might be some real action taken against this bloke, but as it is, he’ll probably get let back onto the site …

    When will the West ever learn NOT to put any Muslims in these sensitive areas. Authorities can thwart 999 cases out of 1,000 but they only need that one instance that was missed. If this guy did succeed the Libtards probably would blame nuclear power and technology, not the terrorist.

      “He was allegedly seen viewing inappropriate websites on homemade explosives on a laptop computer, which he slammed shut after being spotted by a work mate.”

      That he was checking out how to make bombs while working at a nuke plant leads to an obvious question and a reasonable deduction.

      The obvious question: What would have caused a prospective Muslim nuclear jihadist to be so incredibly reckless as to look at such websites while at the nuke plant he planned to attack? A reasonable deduction is that he looked while at work not because he was a moron, but because he was so thrilled that he had gained access to the interior of a nuke plant that he simply could not wait till he got home to study up on how he would blow it up. Like a kid who can’t wait to open a Christmas present.

        Thank heavens that he was lacking in capability to delay gratification.

          Maybe bomb making sites is like porno to this guy. He was just getting an eye full before he went to the bathroom because as you said Babs “he was lacking in capability to delay gratification.”

    The guy should call John Kerry to help get his job back.

    I hope the whackjobs in charge have everybody who is working at the plant — but especially adherents of that homicidally insane ideology, Islam — under 24-hour surveillance.

    I see a big payday coming for one “unfairly dismissed” jihadi. Anyone want odds?

    How islamophobic of his employer! Too bad he won’t get invited to the White House. “Ahmed, come over to the White House to show me your atomic clock you just invented.” BHO

  7. Angemon says

    “To him it looked like some sort of website on how to make bombs .

    And cue in the Ahmed example – “No, I was not in a website teaching how to make bombs. This is islamophobia, like that case in the US where a young muslim was arrested by ignorant islamophobes who mistook a clock he build for a bomb”.

    How many nuclear “accidents” in the name of Islam does the world have to look forward to in the next few years? What a bleak and horrible future Europe is building with each new moslem colonist.

    Come on! This guy is an idi*ot. Although he might be able to make a home made bomb, he will never be able to smuggle nuclear material from any British nuclear power plant. Safety meassures are a big obsatcle for such a moron.

    • Mirren10 says

      Oct 29, 2015 at 3:06 pm

      He may be an idiot, but how do we know he is not in contact with others, far from idiots, who will know *exactly* how to put his knowledge to use ?

      This illustrates, **yet again** the suicidal stupidity involved in hiring muslims, in *any capacity* whatsoever, but **especially** in such jobs as these.

      And, is there any job whatsoever, that muslims will not use in order to advance islam/sharia ?

    • Joseph says

      Oct 29, 2015 at 5:21 pm

      Jura, who said he was going to try and smuggle material out. Is it not far more logical to bring the bomb IN and cause a melt-down thereby spewing radioactivity into the air. By doing it this way he would be using the whole pile of material in the reactor, not just a little bit of it.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 30, 2015 at 12:23 am

      I agree with Joseph–I’m not sure he planned on smuggling nuclear material out–more likely he intended to detonate a bomb in the facility.

      But the specifics barely matter–clearly he was up to no good, and in a very vulnerable place. That Muslims are being hired for such sensitive work is suicidal madness.

  11. BlueRaven says

    Oct 29, 2015 at 3:39 pm

    It should not surprise anyone about a Muslim try to read bomb making materials. The biggest thief of them all Ali Baba Khan – stole all the blue prints about Nuclear bombs and plant in a broad day light. Nobody spotted him – it is kind of strange.

    “You can’t have people with access to a nuclear core having any sort of interest in explosives.”

    Well, no that’s probably not a good idea. I notice a co-worker reported him to management. I fear that may be a career limiting move for that worker.

  13. Susan B says

    Oct 30, 2015 at 10:23 am

    Why didn’t he just call it a clock. That has worked before and the media could then turn him into a hero. He could have lunch at the WH and get all kinds of gifts and scholarships.

    Your fears are entirely misplaced. There is nothing that that muslim could do that would endanger the public.

    What would that muslim do with a bomb in the control room of the reactor? He can’t get inside the containment building where the reactor vessel is. Stealing fuel from a reactor: So let me get this right: You want your terrorist to go inside the containment building and rob fuel from the reactor vessel? Your terrorist would die of radiation in 4 seconds. [So stay outside of the containment building.]

    Your terrorist can’t get anywhere near the reactor vessel anyway. The containment building walls, ceiling and floor of American containment buildings are a minimum of 1 meter [about 39 inches] thick concrete and HEAVILY reinforced with steel. There is so much steel reinforcing rod that when you look at one under construction, you wonder where there will be any room for concrete. The containment vessel has a ½ inch thick steel liner. The door is likewise impenetrable. A bank vault would be much easier to break into.

    Only robots enter the containment building. Robots must wait for the reactor to be put into cold shutdown. That takes a week. Would a bank robbery take a week?

    All of those vital parts are also inside the containment building. There are no workers who can get inside the containment building once the reactor has been in operation.

      In fact, it might even be beneficial to have Muslims detonating bombs at nuclear power plants! sarc/off

    this is the whole problem with Muslim immigrants. You can’t tell the good from bad, even the good, if he or she becomes more devout can turn bad very quickly. Once a citizen you can’t discriminate so if they apply for sensitive jobs like this and meet the qualifications, and are not so stupid as to look at bomb making shit at work in the nuclear plant, (you must admit some of these guys are dumb as a box of hammers). It’s just a matter of time before one of them does some serious damage. Forget making a bomb, what if he just started shooting up the place shooting into the reactor and caused a nuclear accident, a melt down or something. Then there is radioactive hospital waste. It’s just a matter of time. I just hope that when it happens we round em up and ship em out after bombing mecca. Blowing up Muslim holy sites might just convince them that their eschatology is way off

    Why was a person from a high risk sector of the population, employed as a ‘special entry assistant’ at a nuclear facility?
    Who let him in?
