Yesterday it was revealed that he was held by police two weeks ago, but freed. Now we learn that police spoke with him a number of times. He was obviously a source of great concern. Yet no one was watching him closely enough to prevent his planting an IED on the London Tube. Police just don’t have the resources to track the many, many jihadis in the UK; they’re too busy hounding and persecuting foes of jihad terror.
Yahyah Farroukh is 18, and yet he already has a receding hairline. Poor lad! At least his full beard makes up for it.
More on this story. “Parsons Green attack: ‘Iraqi’ refugee suspected of trying to bomb Tube ‘was spoken to by police several times,'” by Hayley Dixon and Martin Evans, Telegraph, September 17, 2017:
A teenager suspected of being the Parsons Green bomber had been spoken to by police a number of times, neighbours of his foster family claimed today, amid questions over what authorities knew.
The 18-year-old refugee, believed to be Iraqi, was a “problem” to foster parents Penny and Ron Jones and they had been contacting officials saying that they were unable to cope, it was said.
Neighbours of their house in Sunbury-on-Thames, south west London, said that he had been brought home by officers just two weeks before the attack and they regularly saw plain clothes officers at the property.
The teenager was arrested at the Port of Dover on Saturday morning on suspicion of planting the home-made bomb which partially detonated on a District Line train on Friday morning, injuring 29 people.
All but one of those caught up in the terror attack, which saw commuters getting crushed as they ran for their lives from the fireball which ripped through the carriage, have now been released from hospital.
Police arrested a second man in connection with the attack on Saturday night. The 21-year-old was held in Hounslow, west London, before searching a home in Stanwell, Surrey connected to one of the Jones’ former foster children.
The terror threat level was reduced earlier from critical to severe, but officers continued to search the home belonging to Mr and Mrs Jones, aged 88 and 71 respectively, who previously received MBEs for services to children and families.
Forensic tents were erected in the front and back garden of the terraced property, as residents who were evacuated from their homes by counter-terror officers over the weekend were gradually allowed to return.
It is understood that the teenager was born in Baghdad but came to Britain as a refugee a couple of years ago. He had been staying with Mr and Mrs Jones for several months after going through an immigration centre in Dover, it is said.
Stephen Griffiths, 28, who lives across the road, said: “Police have been at this address a few times in the last couple of weeks.
“At the time we just put it down to it being foster kids that needed to be spoken to. But it clicked in my head earlier – what if one of the children was under investigation or surveillance?
He said the on several occassions police had turned up in marked cars but plain clothes and spoken to the Joneses
“It was nothing like just a normal officer doing a duty call, it seemed like something a bit higher in the chain,” he said. …

guy looks gay ,no offense . he seems to have makeup on in anther picture so maybe he did it to gain martyrdom and forgiveness of all his sins
WPM says
From that picture with that hairline the guy looks closer to 28 then 18 years old.
David M says
From studies done 28 is about the average age of asylum seekers claiming to be 18. We finally have his Muslim name, after the story has drifted off the MSM front pages. See what they did there.
TH says
Looking at the picture, there is no way that this guy is 18. No one at 18 has such a receding hairline.
Michael McDermott says
The issue of age was raised with HMG when they were transported by the EU to the UK, but ignored. They were clearly not the age they claimed and now we are paying for the stupidity.
Aardvark says
The Daily Telegraph has an ‘interesting’ artlcle.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/17/parsons-green-bucket-bomb-second-man-arrested-connection-terror/
It starts by saying ‘Police have arrested a second refugee foster child…” and later refers to this ‘child’ as ‘Yahyah Farroukh, 21, was arrested outside the chicken shop where he worked in Hounslow…’
A 21 year old child! Amazing!
Pet Charles says
At the end of the day, it is not the police or politicians to blame but the people of the UK. Like it or not, in Myanmar the people got sick and tired of Islamic threats and terrorism, and they took matters in their own hands ahead of the government. If people in the UK started massive protest at mosques and other places where the source of terror is encouraged, and simply enforce existing law without fear or favor and with respecting any religion, it will go a long way to addressing the problem. The government appeasement is designed to embolden the terrorist and enrage the public as it now stands.

The Btits are TOO NICE. Niceness is destorying them.
Anne Smith says
Britain First has been mounting peaceful protests but are met with massive police presence and are arrested time and again on trumped up charges.
The Police forces – which were originally set up as county organisations to prevent them becoming an arm of the Government – are now carrying out the Government’s dirty work by undermining peaceful protest against the Muslim takeover.
WPM says
The people of the West have to regain the pride in themselves, they have so much doubt in their culture and losted their beliefs. The PC has been hammer into them by the MSM and their so call leaders for too long. The Islamics have no doubt ,if you try to point out the Islamic violence built into the Koran , and how it is practice on a world wide scale for 1400 years they {Moslem} react in a violent way because they cannot defend the teaching of Mohammed in any peaceful logical fashion. You do not have to be loved by your enemies ,you have to be respected and fear by them if you want peace for your children and future of your culture future. Islam must be named an enemy of Western and Eastern cultures of the world .Fear of naming an enemy , not facing the threat , will give the enemy more power and less freedom for societies average citizens of the free world.
John A. Marre says
How many British women did this pretty-face savage impregnate? I’m willing to bet that dozens of empty-headed British babes fell willingly at his feet.
mortimer says
Britons have got to dump their brainwashing and start to be on the lookout for jihadists. There are 164 jihad verses in the Koran which tell Muslims to make warfare against the DIRTY KUFAAR on the bigoted grounds that the kafirs are DISBELIEVERS.
Some (not all) Muslims will sooner or later respond to the call of the Koran to attack and kill the Kafirs in exchange for brothel rewards in their supposed afterlife. Islam is absurd.
BRITONS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. SAVE SOME LIVES.
CrossWare says
I guess everyone here assume, that the police was interrogated a suspicious jihadist. What if the police was just politely asking their new supreme overlord, how can they serving him and the cause of Islam better…
davej says
They keep calling him a teenager, even after the fact, when obviously he is not.
The Police should be honest with their citizenry:
We have been given an impossible task, we cannot effectively track every potential jihadi your government has admitted to this country. All we can do is foil a small percentage of attacks, for the rest we will only be able to pick up the pieces afterwards. If you don’t want an ever increasing reign of terror in your country you must tell your political leaders to reverse their policies.
I’ll bet many feel exactly that way but fear for their jobs should they say so.
don vito says
Forensic tents, to be used by kufr, to scientifically study islam,moslems, sharia etc. Don, we already have that in JW and many other websites. You don’t say!
Carlos Danger says
PM May gave Trump a hard time when he said that the bomber was known to Scotland Yard. Well, the POTUS was correct again.
R Cole says
You see, if the UK government gets rid of all the counter-jihad comments online, they can prevent terrorism even in faraway places like Pakistan or Iraq!!
Remember a few years ago, we were all assured that if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was solved, we could do away with terrorism – we could only guess – in parts such as Africa and Southern Thailand. Wonder when they’ll realize they are leaping in the dark. In the meantime, with all of the assurances, the problem of Islamic terrorism is growing worse.

That this ‘boy’ was placed in foster care, shows the risks. When we don’t know who these people are and they enter the country claiming to be children or anybody. There was the case of an Afghan ‘boy’ who was placed in foster care, with a woman and her daughter. The ‘boy’ turned out to be much older than he claimed. His age had already been established, through a medical or physical test given when he applied and failed to get asylum in either Belgium or Holland. Even so, when he managed to smuggle himself into the UK, he was placed in a home with children, became unruly, displayed aggressive and threatening behavior and finally threatened to kill the foster mom.
That this ‘boy’ fabricated a bomb in his foster bedroom, means that everyone in that household could have been killed.
With these Muslims it’s not simply a reluctance to integrate or assimilate, it’s hatred and supremacist.
If someone is at home in the European Commission, they need to change these laws so that EU nations can more easily deport people on the terror watchlist. The terror watchlist is coming to mean, authorities are watching the terrorists attack.
Anne Smith says
This is so right, but these horrible deceiful Mulsim males pretending to be children would never have been allowed into GB if the Press together with the acting luvvies and the so called celebrities had not made a huge fuss about the “orphan children” who were supposedly in the immigrant camps at Calais.
Under the huge Press coverage of the camps the Government allowed many of these deceitful Muslim men to come here under cover of being “children” even though it was patently clear that many had beards and were a great deal older than 18. Rather than respond intelligently to the outcry from normal British people who were aghast at this breach of immigration law, the Foreign Office responded by screening the coaches carrying the fake children, so that when they disembarked their ages could not be estimated and revealed for the rubbish it was.
J Griffiths says
He has got the makings of a great zabiba there….bit off center but what can you do
nicholas tesdorf says
The passengers on the ferry got off lightly. The Police were too busy rounding up dangerous Islamophobes, hate-mongers and Bigots to be bothered with keeping a proper eye on Yahyah Farroukh.
Madge hirsch says
I believe this story to be erroneous. Yahya Farouk ( pictured ) is not the 18 year old arrested at Dover who is believed to have actually planted the bomb but the 21 year old later arrested in Hounslow. This is clear from all the British press reports. The 18 year old has not yet been named. It is perfectly possible to have a receding hairline at 21. A member of my family had one.
It really is necessary that you do not put out such erroneus stories as it enables the Islam apologists to blacken you.
Henner720 says
It is the mix. The engeneered doctors etc etc with insane believepower and then the hordes of misfits who benefits from the social prestige hangning out with skillfull peoples 4 once in there missarable lives.only they then have to pay with there suicidewest life.islam is a perfection of rebel coexistence. The achievers( sponsered by gangsta islam country leaders) using there fellow muslim numskull as weapons.
ctlawson says
two weeks after the police spoke to him ,He causes death and injury , WHAT DID THE POLICE SAY TO HIM ,
