| Tube 'cynanide plot' |
| 2002-11-16 |
| Three men have been charged over an alleged terrorist plot to release cyanide gas on the London Underground tube network. The men are north African muslims said to belong to a group linked to al Qaeda. The alleged plot was foiled after the group was infiltrated by MI5 agents in a six month operation. Six men were arrested. Three were charged. You can tell they're very devout fellows. Thought the Japanese thing a few years ago was pretty neat, huh? The men are thought to be of either Tunisian or Moroccan background and belong to a group called the North African Front, said to have loose connections with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. Another new one on me. I take it this is still a mini-group, trying to hit the Big Time? Rabah Chekat-Bais, 21, Rabah Kadris, in his mid 30s, and Karim Kadouri, 33, all of no fixed abode, were charged under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for the possession of articles for the preparation, instigation and commission of terrorism acts. Unemployed Chekat-Bais appeared before Bow Street Magistrates Court, in central London, last Monday and Kadris and Kadouri, also both unemployed, appeared in court on Tuesday. When your welfare system produces a low-paid liesure class with nothing better to do that kill people for amusement, you're doing something wrong... |
