Terror group wanted jihad lessons
"He says he told the them if he got wind of the fact that they were going to commit a terrorist act, he would go to the authorities," Mr Maidment told the jury. As a result, group member Bassam Raad said he would like to shoot Mr Mohtadi.
Library designed to stir up jihad says prosecutor
AN ARTICLE praising the September 11 hijackers and videos of Muslim extremists beheading hostages were found in raids on a home-grown terror cell, a court heard yesterday.
A "common library" of terror manuals and videos was shared by group members and was designed to stir them up to commit violent jihad, prosecutor Richard Maidment, SC, said.
He said Abdullah Merhi was found with a book entitled The 19 Lions, which heaped praise on those involved in the attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon in 2001 that killed almost 3000 people.
"It glorifies the 19 aircraft hijackers responsible . . . and hails them as martyrs, suggesting they will go down in history for perpetrating one of the greatest victories that has ever been perpetrated in the name of Islam," he said.
“We, the Muslims of the Washington Metropolitan area, are here today in subfreezing temperatures to tell our brothers and sisters in Filistin that you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land. And we, by standing here today, despite the weather and despite anything else, we are telling them that we are with you, we are supporting you, and we will do everything that we can, Insha’Allah, to help your cause.”
Thanks for all these links/snippets Mama Dearest.
I think I’ll add some suicide-homicide bombers’ links to this thread for archival purposes.
