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

UK Muslim couple planned jihad suicide bombing of subway or shopping center for the Islamic State

Nov 17, 2015 6:55 pm By Robert Spencer

The couple that slays together, stays together. Good thing Cameron is bringing so many Muslim refugees into Britain, eh? He is ensuring that there will be much, much more of this. That will be his enduring legacy.

“Couple planned Isil suicide bombing of Westfield or Tube, court hears,” by Tom Whitehead, Telegraph, November 17, 2015

A married couple plotted an Isil suicide bombing of the London Underground or Westfield shopping centre around the tenth anniversary of the 7/7 suicide attacks, a court heard on Tuesday.

Mohammed Rehman, 25, and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, had enough bomb material to “cause multiple fatalities” and were just days away from being able to carry out an attack.

They had already tested explosives in a back garden and only need to make a detonator, when counter-terrorism police swooped.

But they were caught after police spotted Rehman’s Twitter account, where he went under the name “Silent Bomber” and had asked followers for advice on which target to hit, the Old Bailey heard.

Opening the prosecution, Tony Badenoch QC said the pair had a “common interest” in violent and extreme Islamic ideology and had repeatedly researched 7/7 bombers, who killed 52 people in London in 2005.

They also developed a keen interest in Isil and Rehman’s online research showed he approved of their atrocities and “wished to play his own part”, jurors were told.

“Those chemicals were capable of being mixed into lethal bombs – ready to go, following one of the many recipes collated in his notebook and stored on his computer”
Tony Badenoch QC

Rehman has also referred to 7/7 suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer as his “beloved predecessor”.

Mr Badenoch said “substantial quantities of chemicals and bomb-making wherewithal” were found at Rehman’s home when the couple were arrested on May 28 this year….

The prosecutor said there was also evidence Rehman went to lengths to ensure his would not be a failed attempt as seen on July 21, 2005, when the detonators failed to work.

Eight days before his arrest he tweeted: “It’s always good practice to use more than one detonator in a device to ensure a successful detonation.”

He had also searched on the Internet using the terms ‘Suicide Bomber History’, ‘How suicide bombers work’, ‘Dying for God’ and ‘9/11’.

The couple married on 31 October 2013 at Reading Islamic Centre but lived separately, jurors heard.

Rehman and Khan, both of Reading, are charged with preparing terrorist acts on or before May 28 this year. Rehman is also charged with possessing an article for terrorist purposes….

        Thank you, Ashley! We met twenty-seven years ago–hard to believe.

        Needless to say, what my beloved husband and i have in common is not an evil desire to slaughter unbelievers…

      Seems I remember the president ,speaking on the refugee situation,. Asking the governors something like….why are you afraid of women and children….well what about this woman and the woman who blew herself up during the police raid in paris.

      Graven,
      May you and your husband have 27 more wonderful years together.
      May your love for each other only grow stronger and deeper.

      In this day and age that is something to be proud of.

    Names suggest, they are Muslims of PAkistani origin – not that it makes any difference for a Mulim where he comes from!!

    Britain’s folly of inviting Muslims into the country bringing rich dividends!

      Yes, as an ethnic/religious group that lot have made quite a record-breaking contribution to the UK. Highest ratio prison population. Highest ratio sex offenders. Highest benefits-claiming. Lowest educational attainment. Highest ratio for birth defects (draining NHS resources). Plus, no other group has managed to wreck two Underground trains and one London bus on the same day in ‘peace time’ (assuming you call this ‘peace time’ – I wonder what Hitler’s achievement was in this respect?). The authorities have recently had to recruit 1,900 personnel for MI5/MI6/Police because of this lot. I make that possibly £70-90 million extra just to keep this country safe and civilised. Some years back I believe they had to do make a 25% hike in security personnel, because of the same people. What did THAT cost? Add up everything here and what have you got? Possibly an amount equal to the total budget/GDP of some third-world country? Now there’s a strange coincidence! Because that’s exactly what we’ve got in the UK. A pretty obnoxious third-world country within a country. All makes sense now!

    They must be REALLY STUPID. Going on social media to ask which place to target? To have more then one detonator?

    That is insane. (However, i hope that they do not try and use that, or stupidity as defense; just execute the bastards–and their families. My views

    • Moth Queen says

      Nov 17, 2015 at 7:26 pm

      Even more insane is the open border policy of the EU.

      Controlled immigration is being called for here and the elites are avoiding it by using political correctness and shame-labeling.

    Mohammed Rehman, 25, and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24

    But they were caught after police spotted Rehman’s Twitter account, where he went under the name “Silent Bomber” and had asked followers for advice on which target to hit, the Old Bailey heard.

    One more instance attesting to the fact, throughout the globe in every nation, soldiers of IS live; plot or execute acts of jihad, following their “prophets” commands, guidance, and examples.

  11. somehistory says

    Nov 17, 2015 at 9:27 pm

    Twitter, Facebook, email, smart phones, play stations….if only they would use the electronic power for fun and games and not for evil.

    It’s a really good thing that the stupidity of criminals is not solely in the fact that they choose to be criminals in the first place, but that they do other stupid things too that allows their capture.

    When are we ever going to stop calling it ‘The Religion of Peace’. It seems to me that the vast majority of muslims identify with the terrorists. It is past time that we had a real debate about Islam. I would encourage everyone to research the history of Islam, read about the life of the ‘Prophet” Mahomet and about his sayings and draw your own conclusions about this ‘Religion of Peace’. Just because it has 1.5B traumatised and brain washed victims/followers (Stockholm syndrome) doesn’t mean that it is not pure evil.

    I posted this-possibly wording a little different.

    The French and then the US leaned in Indo-China (Nam, Laos and Cambodia) and then again in Iraq and Afghanistan ( where the old USSR also learned this) WOMEN–AND CHILDREN- CAN BE AS DEADLY AS MEN.

    WOMEN HAVE NUMEROUS PLACES-WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR GARBAGE BAG CLOTHING- TO HIDE BOMBS. AND MUSLIMS THINK NOTHING-AS SHOWN IN NAM; IRAQ AND ELSEWHERE, FOR WOMEN TO PLACE BOMBS IN THEIR INFANTS, AND LEAVE THEIR BABIES IN SHOPS; MARKETS, WHEREVER, TO BLOW THEMSELVES AND OTHER SUP. ( BY BABIES, I MEAN THOSE WHO ARE NOT EVEN ABLE TO WALK OR SOMETIMES EVEN TO CRAWL-NOT PRE TEENS OR TEENS- ALTHOUGH THOSE ARE ALSO USED).

    And the west ( and the US) should take these animals–i mean people–in?

    Have to be crazy.
