40 Terrorists Go Free From Jail in England ~ WTH?!



Sohail Qureshi ... arrested Oct 06 as he prepared to board flight at Heathrow to fight overseas. Possessed night-vision goggles, kit and £9k cash believed to be for jihadi fighters. Got 4 and half yrs for terror crimes but due out next month



The Sun.....for complete article

FORTY convicted Islamic terrorists are back on the streets after being released from jail, a Sun investigation has revealed.

And another 50 plotters, including al-Qaeda trained Sohail Qureshi, will be free soon.

Security experts said Britain's justice system was lax compared to the US, where jailed terrorists often never get out.

East London dental assistant Qureshi - seized while trying to travel to Afghanistan to attack British troops - is one of 25 Islamic fanatics due to be freed within 12 months.

A further 25 will be out within three years. And 40 more are already free men, The Sun can reveal.

At least five of those are still classified as "high risk" and have to be closely monitored by cops and intelligence agents.

Qureshi, 31, who dreamed of being a martyr, was held in October 2006 with night-vision goggles, £9,000 in cash and military kit.

He was given a 4½-year prison term. But under Britain's justice system, in which jail sentences are frequently lenient and routinely cut, he will be out in a few weeks.

The disturbing figures emerged from a special Sun investigation into 120 people convicted of Islamic terrorist offences since 1999.

Our probe followed the conviction on Monday of three al-Qaeda terrorists who plotted to blow up seven airliners with bottle bombs.

The source from MAPPA - which stands for Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements - said: "There are many who will not be given tight supervision.

"Our biggest concern is that far from being rehabilitated in jail, their attitudes could have been hardened. Prisons have become a major recruiting ground for al-Qaeda."

Hulking thug Andrew Rowe - believed to be a key player in al-Qaeda's European operations - is among those scheduled for freedom.

Rowe, a 38-year-old Muslim convert, was caught returning to Britain through the Channel Tunnel with instructions on firing mortars and secret codes for terror attacks.

Former anti-terror cop Peter Clarke called him a "global terrorist". Mr Clarke added: "He has been trained and knows how to use extreme violence."

Rowe, also known as Yusef Abdullah, was originally jailed for 15 years in September 2005.

But his sentence was later reduced to ten years by the Appeal Court. With time served on remand, it means he will be released in eight months under the automatic two-thirds rule for prisoners serving more than four years.

Those jailed for four years or less are entitled to release after serving half their sentences - and can get out even earlier with a tag.

Shoe bomber Saajid Badat and missile terrorist Kazi Nurur Rahman are scheduled for freedom in two years.

Badat was jailed for 13 years after admitting he intended to blow himself up aboard a passenger jet. His cohort was fellow shoe bomber Richard Reid - now serving 110 years without parole in the US.

The pair were both trained for their mission by al-Qaeda fiends in Pakistan.

Badat, 30, pulled out when he lost his nerve. Components for a shoe bomb were later found at his Gloucester home.

Rahman, 31, was arrested in an MI5 sting in November 2005.

He was trying to buy missiles to shoot down airliners. He attended training camps in Pakistan with terrorists now serving life for plotting to bomb Kent's Bluewater shopping centre.

Mr Justice David Calvert-Smith jailed him for nine years, saying he intended to kill "large numbers of people".

Abu Bakr Mansha, who threatened to hunt down and kill a brave British soldier, is among those already released.

Mansha, of Thamesmead, South London, was arrested with a balaclava and a converted pistol in March 2005.

Cops also found videos of attacks on Allied troops in Iraq, a news article describing the heroics of Military Cross holder Corporal Mark Bayles - and a note of his former home address.

He was jailed for just six years in December 2005 after being convicted of terror offences and is now thought to be living in a probation hostel.

In addition, at least three people convicted of helping the 21/7 suicide bomb plotters are back out on the streets.

So too are the organisers of the Danish cartoon protests in London, when fanatics hailed the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks. Their sentences were cut by a third on appeal.

Five men who attended an al-Qaeda inspired training school in Sussex - caught in July 2006 - are out. Five Birmingham-based suspects - among a gang led by Parvis Khan, convicted of masterminding a plot to behead a British Muslim solider - have been freed.

It is thought there are around 20 recently freed extremists in probation hostels.

They can be subject to curfews but are free during the day.

The Probation Service looks set to be strained to breaking point.

And probation officers' union chief Harry Fletcher said the situation would be aggravated by Government proposals to slash budgets by 15 per cent.

He added: "It will lead to disaster."



Wild Thing's comment........

So England has lost their mind completely. They are letting terrorists out into the world to terrorize, to kill and destroy innocent people.

Those who plotted to kill hundreds of people just TWO YEARS AGO, are back on the streets over there.

Obama must be cherring them on since he has let some out of prison too.


....Thank you Darth for sending this to me.

We are eventually going to lose this war unless Western leaders and Western peoples take it seriously.

I guess it will be a modern day deja vu, 42 years later. Our leaders are placating the enemy, or more succinct kissing their asses.

Tom, you are absolutely right.

And I really don't get it, how people
fight the reality of what all this is so
much. There is so much proof out there of
the enemy and what they are about yet
people want to be PC about it.
