Four men have pleaded guilty in an uncovered plot that saw plans made to kidnap and kill a Muslim member of the UK armed forces.The four-strong gang had enlisted the help of Birmingham drug dealers to aid in the plot which would have seen the Muslim soldier captured and driven to a lock-up garage where he would have been filmed being 'beheaded like a pig.' The gang's ringleader Parviz Khan said this video would then have been released online to "cause panic and fear within the British armed forces and the wider public."
It has also been reported that Islamic "fanatic" Khan was also involved with supplying 'equipment' to terrorists. The court was told that he had been bugged by security services and that he had been logged as buying night-vision goggles as well as inquiring about shipping costs for sending a container to Pakistan.
"The prosecution say that Parviz Khan is a fanatic. He is a man who has the most violent and extreme views. He was enraged by the idea that there were Muslim soldiers in the British army, some of them Muslims from the Gambia in west Africa."
In the wake of Gordon Brown and Musharraf's talks over terrorism, the Pakistan president's warnings that UK terrorism is 'homegrown' don't seem unfounded...
