US adds five militants to its list of global terrorists
More on this story from a few days ago.
[DAWN] The US State Department on Friday added five murderous Moslems to its list of global terrorists, including Anjem Choudary
...Self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month...
, who was allegedly associated with a group that once ran a safe house in Lahore.

The other four are El Shafee Elsheikh, Sami Bouras, Shane Dominic Crawford, and Mark John Taylor.

The official US notification identified Anjem Choudary as "a British holy warrior with links to convicted snuffies and holy warrior networks in the UK, including the proscribed al-Muhajiroun
...formerly Omar Bakri Muhammad's spin off group from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, where the detestable lunatic Anjem Chaudry got his start. More recently the name adopted by al-Qaeda in East Africa for operations in Kenya and Tanzania. It is subordinate to al-Shabaab but will probably be strong enough to fly on its own, given an uninterrupted flow of petrodollars, should the Shaboobs collapse....
group."

Al-Muhajiroun is a banned holy warrior organization that was based in Britannia but also ran a Lahore safe house for visiting British Moslems. The group operated in Britannia from January 14, 1986 to August 2005. In January 2010, the British government banned al-Muhajiroun.

in September 2014 for pledging allegiance to the bad boy Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group and for facilitating the IS recruitment drive.

He was sentenced to prison in September 2016. Choudary has stated that he will continue his recruitment activities from prison. Born in the UK on January 18, 1967, Anjem Choudary is the son of a Welling market trader and is of Pak descent.

Information released by the US State Department shows that El Shafee Elsheikh travelled to Syria in 2012, joined Al Qaeda’s local branch, and later joined the bad boy Islamic State group. In May 2016, Elsheikh was identified as a member of the IS execution cell known as "The Beatles," a group accused of beheading more than 27 hostages and torturing many more.

Elsheikh was said to have earned a reputation for waterboarding, mock executions, and crucifixions while serving as an IS jailer.

Sami Bouras is a Swedish citizen of Tunisian descent who is an alleged member of Al Qaeda and who has been involved with planning suicide kabooms.

Shane Dominic Crawford is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and the State Department identified him as a foreign terrorist fighter in Syria carrying out terrorist activity on behalf of IS, including acting as an English language propagandist for the group.

Mark John Taylor is a New Zealand national who has been fighting in Syria with IS since the fall of 2014. Taylor has used social media, including appearing in a 2015 IS propaganda video, to encourage terrorist attacks in Australia and New Zealand, the State Department said.

"Elsheikh, Choudary, Bouras, Crawford, and Taylor have committed or pose a significant risk of committing acts of terrorism," the notification warned.
