British Pakistanis sentenced for role in airline bomb plot
2009-12-11
[The News (Pak) Top Stories] A 23-year-old man who conspired with the airline bomb plotters to murder people was on Thursday jailed for life.
Hurrah for the British judicial system -- this time.
Adam Khatib plotted with Abdullah Ahmed Ali, Asad Sarwar and Tanvir Hussain to murder persons unknown between January and August 2006, according to details provided by the metropolitan police.

He was found guilty of conspiring together with the three, and with Umar Islam, who was found guilty of conspiracy to murder in an earlier trial at Woolwich Crown Court. He must serve a minimum of 18 years.

Another man, Nabeel Hussain, who met Ahmed Ali Khan, just weeks before officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command made arrests in August 2006, was found guilty of a terrorist offence and jailed for eight years. All the men are said to be of Pakistani origin with British nationalities.
At the end of their sentences strip them of their citizenship and send them home.
