SNIPPET: “The status of the woman who was detained last week has not been disclosed. Last week, it was reported that the woman was being held under Terrorism Act 2000 for failing to disclose information relating to the plot.
Of the 14 homes searched by police, one belonged to Mohammed Irfan. In 2008, Irfan was sentenced to four years in prison for plotting to kidnap a British soldier and behead him “like a pig,” live on the Internet. He was released after serving less than two years and was not rearrested in connection with this case.
While the location of the training camp in Pakistan that was attended by Khalid and Nasser has not been disclosed, Western jihadists are known to train in the Mir Ali and Datta Khel areas in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan. And a jihadist who was set to become the head of the so-called Islamic Army of Great Britain, an al Qaeda branch, was killed by unmanned US strike aircraft in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan on Sept. 8, 2010 [see LWJ report, British, German jihadists involved in Europe plot killed in Predator strikes].
Abdul Jabbar, the short-lived leader of the Islamic Army of Great Britain, was said to have been present at a meeting attended by more than 300 jihadists, including members of al Qaeda and the Taliban, several months before he was killed. At that meeting, he was appointed the leader of the Islamic Army of Great Britain and was tasked with carrying out terror attacks in Britain, France, and Germany, using assault rifles and suicide vests.
Jabbar had earlier survived a drone strike on a militant training camp run by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a commander allied with the Haqqani Network, an Afghan Taliban faction considered one of the most effective forces battling Western troops in Afghanistan.”

SNIPPET: “The al-Qaeda inspired group, from Birmingham, is accused of planning a suicide bombing campaign by exploding eight rucksacks packed with explosives in public places.”
SNIPPET: “Khalid, 31, Irfan Naseer, 27, and Ashik Ali, 27, all unemployed from Birmingham, were among 12 people arrested and charged last year.”
SNIPPET: “The jury heard how Naseer and Khalid had made martyrdom videos while undergoing alleged terror training in Pakistan, to be released after their deaths.”
SNIPPET: “Naseer, also known as Chubbs, also talked about buying five AK47 assault rifles by borrowing £100,000 in loans, Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said.
He also boasted how he could buy a grenade for £1,500 and a M16 assault rifle.”
