| Terrorist who plotted possible attack on Royal Wootton Bassett pleads guilty |
| 2013-03-15 |
| More convert misunderstanders of the religion of pieced. MUSLIM convert Richard Dart is facing a long prison sentence today admitting getting involved in terrorism. Dart became involved in extremism after converting to Islam. He was featured in a BBC Three documentary made by his stepbrother. He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey with Imran Mahmood and Jahangir Alom to engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorism. They plotted to go to Pakistan to train at a terrorist camp and to travel abroad to commit acts of terrorism. The three bearded men appeared by videolink and were remanded in custody by Mr Justice Simon for reports before being sentenced, on a date to be fixed. Dart, 29, of Broadway, Ealing, west London, Mahmood, 21, from Dabbs Hill Lane, Northolt, west London, and Alom, 26, of Abbey Road, Stratford, east London, admitted being involved in the offence between July 2010 and July last year. The case against them was that they intended to use their training to attack targets. Mahmood, who had been to Pakistan before, was able to offer advice and assistance. Police recovered bits of text messages from a computer in Dart's home which referred to "even to just deal with a few MI5 MI6 heads". Another referred to WB, thought to refer to Wootton Bassett, the town through which repatriated British military heroes were driven. Details of the allegations were not given in court and lawyers will have to discuss their basis of plea before the facts are finalised. |

| #5 I really think so many losers "convert" to I-slam because it lets them pretend they're superior to the rest of us. Free clue for these clowns: YOU'RE NOT. |
