UK: MPs Warn Al-Qaeda Trying to Recruit British Women to Carry Out Suicide Bombings in the UK, ‘We Cannot Let Our Vigilance Slip’

It is using extremist websites to radicalise the angels of death, says their chilling report.

The Commons home affairs committee says it has heard evidence the terror group is ‘specifically launching and targeting women for violent acts’.

It is already a deadly tactic in the Middle East, where growing numbers of Palestinian women are volunteering for suicide missions against Israel. The MPs’ report comes days after four Islamic extremists admitted plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange.

His defence team had argued his detention of six and a half years while fighting deportation was unlawful because he did not face any imminent prospect of being removed. The cleric is wanted in Jordan to stand trial for alleged terror offences and Home Secretary Theresa May battled to keep him behind bars while British diplomats continue to seek assurances from the Jordanian authorities that evidence gained through torture would not be used against him… The bail hearing was ordered after Qatada, once described by a Spanish judge as ‘Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe’, won an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last month.” Read more.
