Foiled by toilet lock: How Muslim convert set off bombs in error because he couldn't open door
Daily Mail ^ | 16th October 2008

Posted on 10/16/2008 9:42:03 AM PDT by george76

A British Muslim convert with a mental age of ten was unable to blow up a restaurant because he'd locked himself in a toilet.

Nicky Reilly, 22, had gone into the cubicle of an Exeter eaterie to assemble the nailbombs from chemicals in bottles. He then planned to rush among the 50 diners - many of them children - and detonate the devices.

However, he found he couldn't unfasten the lock and then one of the bombs exploded, setting the others he was holding off.

Reilly, who was groomed over the internet by extremists into becoming a suicide bomber, was arrested when he staggered outside with serious facial injuries.

Yesterday, Reilly, who has changed his name to Mohammad Abdul-Aziz Rashid Saeed-Alim, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to preparing a terrorist attack and attempted murder. After the attack police searching his home in Plymouth found a suicide note in which he quoted Osama Bin Laden and evidence that other possible targets had been a police station and a shopping centre.

‘The incident in Exeter shows that terrorism remains a real and serious threat to all communities across the UK and not just our major cities.’

Incredibly, Reilly’s YouTube page was still online yesterday.

So, this suicide bomber was preparing several bombs.
And they all went off while he was holding them?
And he pleaded guilty when he showed up in court?

Needs more job training, I'd say.

Sorry son of bitch.

Allah’s votaries have a strong claim on inhabiting the most pitiful strata of the human condition.

Well written article, my question about who would convert to islam was answered in the first line.

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

It’s a shame he lived through it. Pretty sorry bomb, I’d say.

Reminds me of a passage from The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad -- the terrorist gets his retarded BIL to deliver a bomb to Greenwich Observatory, but it goes off as he stumbles taking it up the hill. Nothing left but a crater in the lawn. He has a tough time explaining things to his wife....

Exeter is a lovely little city, BTW -- spent the summer of '74 in law school there. What do you suppose they did to warrant the wrath of Jihad? Not a damned thing, of course. They're infidel swine and that's enough.

The non-retards are too smart to be suicide bombers, and the ones dumb enough are often lost by incompetent use of dangerous chemicals....
