IS 'lone-wolf' found guilty of murdering British MP
|
[An Nahar] A London jury on Monday unanimously found Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
follower Ali Harbi Ali
| ...Somali-Brit university drop-out and son of a former Somali high government official. After going through the government Islamic radicalization prevention program Prevent at the age of 18, followed by the more intensive Channel counter-terrorism program, he decided to murder a British politician in the name of ISIS, then settled on Sir David... |
guilty of murdering UK politician David Amess in a ferocious knife attack in October last year.
"It cannot have been easy to listen to the evidence you have listened to," judge Nigel Sweeney told jurors, saying he would sentence Ali, 26, on Wednesday.
Ali had told the trial that he had no regrets about murdering father-of-five Amess after he voted in parliament for air strikes in Syria in 2014.
The court at London's Old Bailey heard that Ali stabbed Amess more than 20 times with a foot-long carving knife in Leigh-on-Sea, southeast England.
Members of Amess's family were in court as the verdict was read out, during which Ali refused to stand on religious grounds.
Ali, from north London, arranged an appointment with Amess, 69, by telling the politician's office that he was a healthcare worker and wished to talk about local issues.
Knife-wielding Ali was apprehended at the scene of the murder in a church by two coppers armed only with batons and spray.
He had sent a manifesto to family and friends to try to justify his actions around the time of the attack.
The killer told the court he had wanted to join ISIS and believed his actions would help Moslems, describing himself as "moderate".
"If I thought I did anything wrong, I wouldn't have done it," he told the court. Ali will be sentenced on Wednesday.
