THREE Stoke-on-Trent terrorists who planned to set up a jihadi
training camp in Pakistan have been jailed for a combined minimum term
of 24 years.
Mohammed Shahjahan, Usman Khan and Nazam Hussain received
indeterminate prison sentences at Woolwich Crown Court yesterday, after
admitting preparing for acts of terrorism.
-
Mr Justice Wilkie considered the three so dangerous, due
to their aim of training terrorists overseas, that they will only be
freed once they are no longer considered a threat to public safety in
the UK.
They had been part of a wider terror network involving others
from Cardiff and London who plotted a bomb attack on the London Stock
Exchange.
But Mr Justice Wilkie said the Stoke-on-Trent cell was the
"pre-eminent" group, as their plan to operate a training facility,
disguised as a madrassa (seminary) in Kashmir, presented a more
long-term threat to the country.
He said: "It is clear that this was a serious long term venture
in terrorism, the purpose of which was to establish and manage a
terrorist training facility at the madrassa, to fund-raise for its
construction and operation by use of various means, including fraud, and
to recruit young British Muslims to go there and train, thereafter
being available to commit terrorism abroad and at home.
"In my judgment these offenders would remain, even after a
lengthy term of imprisonment, of such a significant risk that the public
could not be adequately protected by their being managed on licence in
the community."
Mr Justice Wilkie accepted that the terror camp was being set up
primarily to train fighters to bring Sharia law to Kashmir, but that
there was a clear possibility the terrorists it produced would return to
the UK to commit atrocities closer to home.
Shahjahan, aged 27, of Burmash Walk, Burslem, who was the leader
of the nine-man terror network, was told he would serve a minimum
sentence of eight years and 10 months.
Khan, aged 20, of Persia Walk, Tunstall, and Hussain, aged 26, of
Grove Street, Cobridge, were planning to travel to Kashmir to receive
firearms training at the madrassa. They were each handed minimum terms
of eight years. A fourth man from Stoke-on-Trent, Mohibur Rahman, aged
27, of North Road, Cobridge, was jailed for five years after admitting
possessing an article for a terrorist purpose, namely copies of an
Al-Qaida magazine.
All the members of the terror network were arrested in December
2010, following an extensive surveillance operation by the security
forces.
During the investigation, Shahjahan, Khan and Rahman were
recorded discussing revenge bomb attacks on racist groups in the
Potteries.
They were angry at the activities of groups such as the EDL and
recent crimes where Muslims had been the victims. These included the
case of Israr Ellahi, pictured left, who died after a street attack in
Tunstall, and the attempted arson attack on a mosque in Hanley.
Prosecutor Andrew Edis said: "It is a discussion about putting
bombs in the toilets of pubs in Stoke-on-Trent. We accept that this was
not a discussion which culminated in a plan to do that, but it was a
consideration of whether it should or could be done. Shahjahan talks
about doing a 'little vigilante thing'. They talk about two devices.
They refer to the BNP and also refer to the EDL."
Khan, the most hotheaded of the terrorists, expressed anger at the police handling of the Ellahi case.
He said: "These kuffar (non-Muslims), these dogs. They've got to
be dealt with, they haven't got the fear inside them no more, man."
Barristers representing those who took part in the pub bomb
discussion emphasised the fact that it only lasted four minutes and the
plot was never mentioned by any of the cell members again.
Joel Bennahan, mitigating for Khan, said his client and the
others were "indulging in a revenge fantasy" which had little to do with
jihad.
Mr Justice Wilkie accepted these discussions never crystalised
into a firm plan to carry out a bombing, as the group was more focused
on its longer term aims of training terrorists.
Members of the Stoke-on-Trent cell, who had previously engaged in
dawah preaching on the streets of the Potteries, came into contact with
other groups in Cardiff and London in autumn 2010.
On November 7, the three groups came together for the first time
at a meeting in Cardiff, which was followed up by a second joint meeting
on December 12.
Following the first meeting, four of the terrorists from London
and Cardiff started developing a plot to plant a bomb in the toilets of
the London Stock Exchange.
While the Stoke-on-Trent cell members were aware of this plot
they took no part in it and saw the meetings as an opportunity to raise
funds and find recruits for their training camp. Speaking after the
sentences, Jane Sawyers, the assistant chief constable of Staffordshire
Police, below, said: "This outcome has been in no small part down to the
many members of the local Muslim community who, a number of years ago,
raised concerns with us about the activities of these individuals.
"Three of the defendants had their houses searched in July 2008.
The fourth was closely involved in the group but did not have his home
searched.
"When we took action to make the arrests in December 2010, it was
on the basis of an imminent concern for public safety, but this was not
related to any targets in Stoke-on-Trent.
"It was acknowledged in court that projects including the
possibility of targeting pubs in the city had been discussed, however,
these plans were not in any way considered to be well developed and no
specific targets were ever agreed.
"Our local police officers and staff work on a daily basis along
side our local communities to address the concerns and issues that
affect their lives.
"These strong community links help us to listen to the views of local people to deal with their concerns.
"We can only make it more difficult for extremists and terrorists to operate by working closely with our communities."
