Jailed terrorists radicalizing young Muslim inmates in UK

Europe Sun (ANI) Monday 6th February, 2012

Jailed terrorists are radicalizing vulnerable young Muslims in prison, a report by British members of parliament has disclosed.

The Telegraph quotes the report as saying that extremists are breeding a fresh generation of radicals willing to launch terror attacks.

A nine-month inquiry by the British Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee found that, in some cases, inmates were being persuaded to carry out suicide missions within days of entering prison.

The findings have been published, as four radical Islamists are due to be sentenced for plotting a major terror attack before Christmas on the London Stock Exchange, the London Eye and other important landmarks.

Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, Shah Rahman, 28, Abdul Miah, 25, and Gurukanth Desai, 30, will be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court today for the Mumbai-style terror plot.

It is believed Miah was radicalized in prison after being sentenced for drugs and weapons offences. (ANI)

    Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
