British couple found guilty of bomb plot and supporting ISIL
By Robert Hackwill



"You're seeing also the development of individual lone wolves, like Mr. Rehman who is self-taught, who decide... that they have a jihadist mission to pursue"

LONDON: -- A husband and wife have been convicted in Britain for planning a terrorist attack.

Mohammed Rehman and Sana Ahmed Khan pledged allegiance to Islamic State, and on twitter Rehman demanded advice from his followers on what were the best targets to bomb, the Westfield shopping centre, or the London Underground.

“He represents a worrying trend in the development of terrorism in this country. On the one hand, you see groups and clusters of individuals who conspire together, often with connections internationally to either al Qaeda or ISIS. On the other hand, you’re seeing also the development of individual lone wolves, like Mr. Rehman who is self-taught, who decide of their own volition that although they are not connected to anyone else, they have a jihadist mission to pursue,” said lawyer Jo Sidhu.

Weapons were found in the couple’s home in Reading, and video of an experimental detonation as Rehman sought to perfect his design in their back garden.

Rehman called himself the “Silent bomber” on social media, and police believe he was planning the attack to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the London bombings in July.

His wife was found guilty of helping him to buy chemicals on e-bay. They were arrested when police believed they were on the point of carrying out their plan.

Life in jail is the only answer, a British soldier got life for killing a Taliban soldier so should anyone planning terrorism.

[amerasianex]

The only answer is to deport thin to Syria wit out passports or ID. Then they have no country. And they can't get out.....

They'd be back in Europe in no time and probably receiving benefits.

[MaeJoMTB]

Remove all non whites from Europe.

Problem solved.

...... oh, but hang on that wouldn't be fair.

[JHolmesJr]

Stitch up their sphincters and make them eat a whole vat of mutton vindaloo.

[HLover]

They do not look like the majority of British people I have met and their names don't sound similar to my British friends.

Maybe things have changed since I've been to Britain 10 years ago.

[Youaredoomed]

Execution on treason charges is the only fitting punishment for these vermin.

Headline should read Muzzlim Couple found guilty….etc.

[MrTee]

Not only terrorists but stupid in the extreme..

I hope they get 25 years minumum each.

Not if they had a tracking device sewn to their butts and a predator drone waiting for them to make rendezvous.

Another Mohammed...who would have guessed...Islam being a religion of peace and all.

Should be many more of these in the years ahead with this being the most popular boy's name in the UK for many years running.

l'd say a lead pellet(.45") right between the eyes would be more fitting gift.

But it would solve a lot of problems.

Yup I agree, bullet between the eyes...........next.

Why did we abolish the death penalty when these animals deserve nothing less

[LMM]

British couple... uh huh... pip pip cheerio and all that rot... stiff upper lip... Hello guvna!

British couple my ass.

[jacky54]

They will probably do about ten years in a cushy jail with access to korans, imams, halal food and be able to pray five times a day.

A post with a racial slur has been removed.

[phantomfiddler]

OK, but they are not really British, are they

[soc]

OK, but they are not really British, are they

l certainly don't regard them as British.

They are ungrateful bludgers that live in a better country than where they or their parents came from & want everything in their new country changed to suit them.

OK The experiment failed.

Expel the lot of them.

Can you make that pork?

[Skeptic7]

Amazing how every time there is a "bomb plot" or actual bombing by a "Frenchman" or "French" couple...or a "Brit" or a "British" couple...always turns out to be Muslim Sandbox citizens. The superstition of peace! Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...ad infinitum

[torpedo1970]

They don't look or sound very British to me....

oh, it is the "new" British

Send them back to their beloved country.....

Like there weren't 2 million Muslims in the UK 10 years ago? There have been a number of Muslims in the UK for over 200 years, we had an empire, you know?

If it wasn't for the IRA and ETA attacks then you would have a point.

[pedro01]

Hard to believe these are really terrorists

"Mohammed Rehman and Sana Ahmed Khan pledged allegiance to Islamic State, and on twitter Rehman demanded advice from his followers on what were the best targets to bomb, the Westfield shopping centre, or the London Underground."

They sound like a pair of f**kwits to me. Would real terrorists be using twitter to id targets???

[LMM]

I get what you're saying about these nitwits Pedro, But really, so what if they are not "real terrorists" ? The fact that they are posting their love for ISIL and planning bomb attacks, etc. etc. etc... Isn't that enough to have their butts thrown in prison? I guess it comes down to whether or not you believe there is a war going on or not... If, for example, someone living in England during WW2 was going around voicing love for Hitler and buying up explosives, he or she would be arrested and with due cause, no?

[Shawn0001]

You think they will probably be afforded the right to practice religion as stipulated by the Convention on Human Rights? Well, no surprises there!

British couple my ass.

Sorry, it's the new normal.

Cheers.
