FREE TO WAGE WAR Faces of the jihadis freed to roam UK streets after early release

Parachuted in to the heart of the enemy.

Only this is no straightforward war where both sides wear uniforms. The enemy to this evil band of bastards are anyone who does not submit to their demonic credo – in other words, you and me.

Oh, and to make matters worse, we provided the planes and parachutes.

FREE TO WAGE WAR Faces of the jihadis freed to roam UK streets after early release

By: Alison Maloney, Daniel Hall, Sophie Evans, Mike Ridley, The Sun, 3 Feb 2020:

SUDESH Amman had been released from prison for a matter of days when he took a knife and stabbed two innocent people in a terrorist attack on Streatham High Street on Sunday.

The ‘knife-obsessed’ 19-year-old had been serving a three-year term for terror offences – but was set free on automatic early release after just 18 months, despite security services considering him to be highly dangerous.

Shockingly, he is one of around 500 convicted terrorists who have been released in the UK in the last decade –  and one of 74 released on licence under the automatic early release scheme, introduced in 2005.

Many of these jihadis are back living on the same streets where they were radicalised and more are set to be released within months.

The government has today unveiled a new “emergency law” to end early release for terrorists – but it’s unclear when the rule change will come into effect.

And disturbing research from the Henry Jackson Society, a think-tank which has tracked jihadis in Britain, shows some of the most serious dangerous offenders were allowed out to plan more attacks.

Usman Khan, who stabbed two people to death and injured three more in the London Bridge attack in November, was freed despite a judge saying he should never be let out.

A definitive list of all the jihadis currently roaming British streets is not publicly available – but here we reveal the faces of some of the convicted killers and hate preachers at large in the UK.

Kazi Islam

Kazi Islam served half of an eight year sentence for grooming a teenager with Asperger’s to kill UK soldiers.

Islam was jailed in 2015 for trying to persuade Harry Thomas to buy ingredients for pipe bombs, but he was out in 2019.

Kazi Rahman

Kazi Rahman, 43, is Kazi Islam’s uncle and neighbour – and a convicted terrorist in his own right.

In 2006, he was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment when he tried to buy missiles to shoot down airliners.

He’d also tried to get his hands on a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and Uzi submachine guns.

Shockingly, he was released from prison in 2011.

Usman Khan (London Bridge attacker)

Usman Khan was convicted in 2012 for a string of al-Qaeda-inspired terror offences, including a plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange.

He was sentenced to an “indeterminate sentence” with a minimum of eight years, but this was overturned on appeal in 2013, allowing Khan to automatically be released.

He was allowed out of Belmarsh Prison on temporary release licence in December 2018. He was considered a success story of a Cambridge University rehab programme, having befriended staff including of Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, who he later stabbed to death before he was shot dead by police on London Bridge in December.

Mohammad Shahjahan

Mo Shahjahan was part of a gang from Stoke and London jailed alongside Usman Khan for plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange.

He was arrested in 2010 and given an indeterminate sentence which was changed to a fixed-term 17-year sentence on appeal in 2013, meaning he was eligible for early release.

He is believed to have been released in 2018, after serving eight and half years including remand.

Shah Rahman

Bangladeshi-born Shah Rahman, 31, was part of the terror cell that Khan belonged to which plotted to bomb London’s Stock Exchange.

He was sentenced to “at least 12 years” in 2012.

It’s unclear as to when he was released on licence.

Ibrahim Abdullah-Hassan

Ibrahim Abdullah-Hassan was arrested in May 2013 immediately after being interviewed on BBC Newsnight and claiming his pal, Michael Adebolajo (Lee Rigby’s killer), was offered a job by MI5.

Abdullah-Hassan, who was involved with Anjem Choudary’s hate group al-Muhajiroun, was jailed in 2014 for three years for inciting terrorism.

It is unclear when he was released.

Mohammed Hasnath

Mohammed Hasnath, 19, from East London was jailed for 14 months for possessing terrorist literature in May 2012.

He admitted four counts of having copies of al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine on his computer memory stick and six offences of criminal damage after he painted burkas on bikini-clad women on posters and put up homophobic slogans.

He served seven months of his sentence.

Rebekah Dawson

Rebekah Dawson was sentenced to 20 months in 2014 for posting clips on YouTube glorifying the horrific murder of Lee Rigby.

Dawson, who hailed from Hackney in east London and was 22 when she was convicted, also made headlines by refusing to remove her face veil.

The religious row broke out during Dawson’s trial for a separate offence – witness intimidation.

She ultimately pleaded guilty to that charge and was sentenced to six months in prison.

There’s more. Read the rest.
