Re: IS-TERROR: ISIS Beatle Admits Having Gun For Terrorism & Offences of Funding Terr
ISIS ‘Beatle’ Admits Having a Gun For Terrorism Purposes
A suspected member of the ISIS ‘Beatles’ has pleaded guilty to having a firearm for terrorism purposes and two offences of funding terrorism. BBC 16 OCT 2023 https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...size=540%2C303 Aine Leslie Davis, 39, was jailed in Turkey for more than seven years and his lawyers were speaking ahead of the planned three-week trial Aine Leslie Davis, 39, who was once suspected of being part of the death squad appeared at the Old Bailey today. He was arrested last year when he arrived back in the UK after spending seven and half years in a Turkish jail for terrorism offences. It follows a failed attempt by the home secretary to have him sent to the US, it has been reported. Ahead of his planned Old Bailey trial, Davis’ legal team claimed the case should be thrown out because he could not be tried twice for the same offending. British authorities were also accused of ‘conniving’ with Turkish counterparts in his deportation in a failed bid by the then-Home Secretary Priti Patel to arrange his onward extradition to the US where two other IS Beatles were tried. In legal argument, defence lawyer Mark Summers KC noted ‘the spectre’ of suspicion around Davis’s involvement with the Beatles cell from 2014 onwards. Born in West London, Davis was a convicted criminal when he turned to radical Islamism It caused Davis to complain about mistreatment in his Turkish jail after he was interviewed about it by British intelligence officers, the court was told. Mr Summers said that in July last year, lawyers in the IS Beatles case in Virginia clarified they were not seeking to bring a prosecution against Davis ‘because the evidence was there were only three members and not four members of that cell.’ The barrister claimed Ms Patel veered into ‘Alice in Wonderland territory’ when she phoned authorities in the US begging them to take Davis’s case. Mr Summers said: ‘The irregular personal involvement of the Home Secretary trying to persuade a foreign country to prosecute a UK national is frankly extraordinary.’ Aine Davis Timeline Suspected ‘Isis Beatle’ Aine Davis became a trans-Atlantic hot potato as lawyers wrestled with the thorny legal issues around how and where he should face justice. 2006: London-born Davis, who has roots in Gambia, meets his wife Amal El-Wahabi at a London mosque and becomes increasingly interested in Islam. 2007: Davis spends time living in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. According to El-Wahabi, he had a history of drug dealing and went abroad to get away from bad influences. July 2013: The Muslim convert leaves the UK to pursue a jihadist cause in Syria. November 26 2013: Davis sends El-Wahabi a picture of himself in Syrian woods posing with a man holding a Kalashnikov rifle. November 27 2013: Davis sends a group photograph with 13 other people holding guns aloft. January 2014: El-Wahabi’s friend Nawal Msaad is stopped at Heathrow airport before boarding a flight to Istanbul and found to be carrying 20,000 euro (£15,830) in rolled-up notes. Summer 2014: El-Wahabi goes on trial at the Old Bailey accused of attempting to send Davis the money to fund terrorism. She is found guilty and Msaad, who was “hoodwinked” by her friend to act as a courier, is acquitted. November 2014: Mother-of-two El-Wahabi is jailed for 28 months and seven days. Judge Nicholas Hilliard says it is clear that Davis went to Syria to fight under the black flag of Isis and El-Wahabi was “infatuated” with him. 2015: Mohammed Emwazi, aka Jihadi John, the ringleader of the murderous Beatles IS cell, is killed in a US drone strike. November 12 2015: Davis and others are arrested in Istanbul by the Turkish authorities on suspicion of being members of an armed terrorist group, namely the so-called Islamic State. Davis is using a forged travel document. May 9 2017: Davis is convicted in Turkey of membership of a proscribed organisation with firearms and sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison. 2018: Two IS Beatles cell members, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, are captured in Syria. They are later handed eight life sentences in the United States. 2019: Suspected fourth cell member Davis is visited in his Turkish prison by a British intelligence officers who asked him about The Beatles. Afterwards, Davis claims he was mistreated in prison. May 2021: A draft extradition request for Davis is drawn up but allegedly rejected in favour of deportation by July. June 2022: British officials learned that prosecutors in New York are seeking to extradite Davis to the US. June 30 2022: A report is published in British media that Davis is to be deported and citing legal sources advising the British government – ahead of the official announcement in Turkey. July 2022: Prosecutors in Virginia clarify that they are not looking to put him on trial as a member of The Beatles cell, saying there were only three members. Then-home secretary Priti Patel allegedly appeals – unsuccessfully – to US authorities for Davis to be prosecuted there in an apparent plan to extradite him on following his deportation from Turkey. Davis is transferred to an immigration detention centre where he is visited by a consular official who repeatedly attempts to persuade him to return to Britain voluntarily – without success. August 2022: Davis is deported to Britain and detained by counter-terrorism police on his arrival at Luton airport. March 2023: Davis is due to stand trial at the Old Bailey accused of arranging terrorist funding from abroad and having a gun with terrorist intent. His lawyer Mark Summers KC argues he has effectively been convicted and served his time in Turkey for his activities in Syria. He accuses British authorities of having “ulterior” motives and “conniving” to get him back with a view to onward extradition to the US. October 2023: Davis pleads guilty to having a firearm for terrorist purposes and two terrorism funding charges after unsuccessfully applying to the Court of Appeal. The prosecution disputed the defence claims which were rejected by Judge Mark Lucraft and later by the Court of Appeal. On Monday, Davis returned to the Old Bailey and pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm contrary to Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000, and two charges of funding terrorism between 2013 and 2014. The defendant entered his pleas via video link from Belmarsh prison. |

'ISIS Beatle Member' Jailed For Eight Years in Knicker-Smuggling and Guns TERROR Case
Former drug dealer Aine Davis pleaded guilty last month to funding terrorism by persuading his hairdresser wife Amal El-Wahabi to try and smuggle 20,000 euros to him in Syria BBC 14 NOV 2023 https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...court-case.jpg Aine Davis, front kneeling, is a London-born drug dealer who allegedly went to Syria to fight A West London man alleged to be the fourth ISIS 'Beatle' member has been sentenced to eight years in prison for carrying a weapon for terrorist purposes.... :arrrrrgh:...:dunno: The sentence was made up of six years for the firearms charge and two years for the fundraising charge - both of which are offences under the Terrorism Act. Former drug dealer Aine Davis pleaded guilty last month to funding terrorism by persuading his hairdresser wife Amal El-Wahabi to try and smuggle 20,000 euros to him in Syria, using a friend, Nawal Masaad, as a courier who hid the money in her knickers. He also pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm for terrorist purposes after posing with a Kalashnikov assault rifle alongside other fighters in a picture he sent to his wife in Britain. Davis was deported from Turkey last August after serving a seven-and-a-half-year sentence for membership in the so-called Islamic State. On his arrival at Luton airport, he was detained by British counter-terrorism police and charged with the three offences. After an Old Bailey trial in 2014, El-Wahabi became the first person to be found guilty of funding terrorism in Syria and jailed for 28 months, while Ms Masaad was cleared of wrongdoing. Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, were captured by US-backed Kurdish forces in 2018 and are imprisoned in the US. Kotey has been given a life sentence and Elsheikh is expected to get life when he is formally sentenced later this month. US prosecutors said Davis travelled to Syria with Kotey and he admitted in a Turkish court that he knew Emwazi from a mosque in West London. Kotey also told interrogators in the US that although Davis visited his house for lunch while in Syria, he had no direct involvement in the hostage-keeping operation. At one point Davis was suspected by the intelligence agencies in the UK and the US of himself being a member of the 'Beatles' but that is longer believed to be the case. Nick Price, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "Davis left the UK and travelled to Syria to involve himself with a proscribed terrorist organisation. While in Syria, he was able to call upon an associate or a network of like-minded individuals to arrange and deliver 20,000 euros to his wife, which was due to be taken to the country. It is only right he has been convicted and imprisoned in this country." Davis' barrister, Mark Summers KC, said that Davis wished to apologise to the people of Syria, his own family, and the court. He also said ahead of sentencing that Davis' "early life was difficult and challenging" and religion had been his way out. |

ISIS Releases Sick Video Calling For Attacks on Jewish People in US and Europe
In a video, the so-called Islamic State called for followers to put on suicide jackets and to attack Jewish people in Europe, the us, and to bomb Israeli embassies BBC 17 NOV 2023 https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...k_26870JPG.jpg Terror group ISIS has released a sickening video in which they called for followers to attack Jewish people in Europe and the US and to bomb Israeli embassies across the globe. The twisted footage includes the extremists also calling for its members to put on suicide vests to carry out attacks against US forces stationed in the Persian Gulf. Throughout the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Israel has repeatedly compared Hamas to the Islamic State. Earlier, Israel's foreign minister said the head of the UN was not fit to lead the global body because he refused to condemn Hamas, who are "worse than ISIS". The animation-style video starts with a video game-style soldier firing shots and shows the Israeli flag being set alight and bursting into flames. The flags of a number of other Arabic states are also burned in the crude footage. It then includes stills of ISIS members committing atrocities, most likely in Iraq and Syria. ISIS made a similar announcement last month in issue 413 of al-Naba - a weekly newspaper produced by the terror mob. In the editorial, the group called for terrorists to take up arms and to attack Jewish neighbourhoods across the world. They urged jihadists to attack synagogues, nightclubs and businesses linked to Jewish people. The terror group wrote: "Target synagogues scattered everywhere. Attacking Jewish nightclubs and targeting their visitors with murder. Target the Jewish economic interests spread across the world. "Educate generations that the battle with the Jews is purely ideological, neither patriotic nor national. And that the battlefield includes all places of Jewish existence and is not limited to Palestine. We invite you to join the caliphate, who seek to remove the borders and dams that prevent them from the fight." |

France on High Alert For New Years' Eve Terrorist Threat as ISIS Plots Foiled
French minister Gérald Darmanin has warned the country is facing a very high terrorist threat in the coming days as arrests were made across Europe in Spain, Austria and Germany Daily Mail 29 DEC 2023 https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...7442470356.jpg Security services in France have been put on 'high alert' days after a number of ISIS plots to target Europe were thwarted. Counter-terrorism experts say the group remains a “serious threat” and claim they are taking advantage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza to rally support for their cause. Police have made a number of arrests in France, Spain, Austria and Germany during the Christmas period. Five people were last week apprehended in northern France as part of an investigation into a criminal terrorist conspiracy. French minister Gérald Darmanin said the security system is in place for New Year's Eve across the country and he said they will leave nothing to chance on Sunday. He told reporters this morning: “I requested an extremely strong mobilisation of the police and gendarmerie services in a context of very high terrorist threat." |
2 ISIS Charged With Plotting Terror Attack on British Jews, Police & Military
Two Charged With Plotting Islamist Terror Attack on British Jews, Police & Military Targets.
Men accused of plot to attack Jews with machine guns in north-west England The Guardian 15 MAY 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/3f7b3...0&dpr=1&s=none Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein appear in court charged with preparing acts of terrorism Two men have appeared in court accused of a machine gun terrorism plot to attack Jewish communities in north-west England, as well as police and military targets. Walid Saadaoui, 36, from Abram near Wigan, and Amar Hussein, 50, of no fixed address, are accused of planning the Islamic State-inspired plot and charged with preparing acts of terrorism. A third man, Bilel Saadaoui, 35, from Hindley near Wigan, brother of Walid, is accused of failing to disclose information about an act of terrorism. All three were arrested last Wednesday and appeared at Westminster magistrates court, which heard the plot involved attempts to obtain machine guns, a hand gun and ammunition, and identifying a safe house where these could be stored. Walid Saadaoui was detained as he went to collect what he believed were the weapons for the attack, the court heard. The prosecutor, Rebecca Waller, told the court: “Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein planned to conduct an Isil- or Daesh-inspired terrorist attack in the UK during which they intended causing multiple fatalities using automatic weapons. “The main targets of their attack plans were the Jewish community in the north-west of England and members of both law enforcement and military. “Both defendants took significant steps to prepare, and by May 2024, had reached the point at which, they believed, they were in a position to launch their attack.” In court Walid Saadaoui spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address and was remanded in custody. Amar Hussein was unrepresented by legal counsel and when asked if he wanted to apply for bail, refused to look at the judge and answered: “Do whatever you want to.” Bilal Saadaoui was also remanded in custody and sobbed as he was led from the dock. He pleaded not guilty to the charge facing him. The district judge, Louisa Ciecióra, said all three men would appear at the Old Bailey on 24 May. A counter-terrorism operation led to the arrests after raids in the Bolton, Abram, Hindley and Great Lever areas of Greater Manchester at about 7.30pm on 8 May. The charges say the alleged plot started no earlier than 13 December 2023 and ran until this month. The UK’s terrorism threat level remains at “substantial”. |
al-Muhajiroun Preacher Choudary Found Guilty of Directing Terrorist Organisation
Terrorist al-Muhajiroun Hate Preacher Anjem Choudary is Found Guilty of Directing a Terrorist Organisation
Director of banned terror network Al-Muhajiroun shouts ‘what are you doing’ when police smash down door during raid for terror offences Britain Charged Anjem Choudary With Aiding ISIS in 2015 - WHY Was He EVER Released ?? BBC 24 JUL 2024 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/999/cp...483a802c97.jpg Anjem Choudary mugshot Radical preacher Anjem Choudary has been found guilty of directing a group banned under UK terror laws and encouraging support for it online. Choudary faces life in prison after he was convicted on Tuesday of taking a "caretaker role" in Islamist group al-Muhajiroun. He was also found guilty of membership of a proscribed organisation after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court. Prosecutors said Choudary directed the group for a significant period of time after 2014 and encouraged support for it by addressing online meetings. Choudary told his trial that he was one of the original three members of al-Muhajiroun. The prosecution said he was still acting as its leader as late as July 2023, making online speeches to a US-based offshoot called the Islamic Thinkers Society (ITS). That group was infiltrated by undercover law enforcement officers in the US, who were present at online lectures in 2022 and 2023. The court heard that Choudary said he viewed being called an extremist as a "medallion" during lectures. The conviction was the result of an investigation by British, American and Canadian authorities into Al-Muhajiroun. Officers investigating Choudary trawled hundreds of hours of audio and video content and assessed over 16,000 documents to prove the links between al-Muhajiroun, ITS and Choudary, investigators said. Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met's counter-terrorism command, said al-Muhajiroun's "tentacles have spread across the world and have had a massive impact on public safety and security". He added that people have "conducted terrorist attacks or travelled for terrorist purposes" as a result of Choudary's "radicalising impact". Seen as a radicalising network rather than a militant organisation, al-Muhajiroun was founded in the UK in 1996. It was first banned by the government in 2006 under the name Al Ghurabaa. In 2010, al-Muhajiroun was included in the ban as an alternate name. The group spent years recruiting others to its extremist interpretation of Islam and seeking the establishment of a caliphate ruled by Sharia. Police have said some 600 people have been linked to the organisation over the years. People associated with al-Muhajiroun have been linked to attacks that police said were terror-related. The three attackers that killed eight people at London Bridge in 2017 were led by a former member, and the murder of five people at Westminster Bridge earlier that year was by a man who had spent years associating with the group. Another member killed two people at London's Fishmongers Hall in 2019. The group also gained notoriety for its intentionally provocative demonstrations and publicity stunts, involving them praising the 9/11 attacks or heckling military funerals, which once featured regularly in the media. After being banned in 2010, al-Muhajiroun regularly changed its name. The group operated under more than 50 aliases during its existence, Choudary said in a covert audio recording heard during his trial. Choudary, 57, from Ilford, east London, was arrested on 17 July 2023. Footage from his arrest, released by Scotland Yard after his conviction, showed police officers breaking down his front door at 5:30am to take him into custody. Choudary was previously jailed in 2016 for encouraging support for the Islamic State group and released in 2018. He told the jury during his trial that after his release he had continued to do his best to propagate Islam. One of his supporters, Khaled Hussein, 29, from Edmonton, Canada, was also found guilty of being a member of al-Muhajiroun. He was detained at Heathrow Airport on the same day as Choudary. Commander Murphy said the charge used to prosecute Choudary was "very rare" in the UK and a "significant milestone". He added that the Met Police's counter-terrorism command was "seeing an increasingly larger number of young people in our case files". Bethan David, head of the Crown Prosecution Service counter terrorism division, said: "It is clear that both men were members of al-Muhajiroun and both men had a radical mindset. "This organisation has been banned in the UK since 2010 because of the danger it poses. Such extremist views are a threat to our society, and I am pleased the jury found them guilty of their crimes." Both men will be sentenced on 30 July.

The jihadi bride's legal team intend to go to Strasbourg after she lost her final bid in the UK when justices at London's Supreme Court ruled she could not appeal again. The 24-year-old lost an appeal last year against the decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC). Her citizenship was revoked after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp following travelling to the country as a 15-year-old to join the Islamic State group in 2015. Today, justices at the UK's highest court said Begum – who lived in Bethnal Green, East London - could not appeal again after she lost a Court of Appeal bid in February.
