| Bomb Plotter Released | |
| 2013-04-29 | |
| A TERRORIST convicted of plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange has been "quietly" released from jail after his sentence was cut on appeal. Mohibur Rahman's five-year term for having al-Qaida magazines featuring bomb-making instructions -- handed down in February 2012 -- was reduced to four and a half years by judges.
The Islamic radical, 28, was released just one year after admitting possessing an article for a terrorist purpose. He also got credit for being on remand since December 2010. The Stoke-based plotter is now out on licence. But reports from a court hearing last May revealed Rahman once told another extremist through a pipe connecting their cells: "When you get released you will be on licence. When you finish your licence you can carry on your work." We can reveal the terror cheerleader's term was slashed by Lord Justice Leveson -- the judge who presided over an inquiry into Press standards -- at an appeal court hearing at Woolwich Crown Court earlier this month. | |
