Man charged with UK kidnap plot
February 09, 2007 09:17pm
BRITISH prosecutors have charged a suspect over an alleged plot to kidnap and kill a member of the armed forces, following anti-terror raids last week, a spokeswoman said today.
Security sources have said the alleged plot involved plans to kidnap and behead a Muslim British soldier, and then post a video of the execution on the Internet. Police have refused to comment on the allegations.
The man, named as Parviz Khan, 36, was one of five charged overnight under anti-terrorism legislation, following the arrest of nine people in dawn raids last Wednesday in the central English city of Birmingham.
"One has been charged with an offence in engaging in conduct to give effect to his intention to kidnap and kill a member of the armed forces," said the prosecution spokeswoman, giving the first official confirmation of a kidnap and killing plot.
The four other suspects have been charged over helping supply equipment and funding of a terrorist act.
The suspect charged over the kidnap and killing plot was also indicted on those charges.
The four other men were named as Mohammed Irfan, 30, Zahoor Iqbal, 29, Hamid Elasmar, 43, and Amjad Mahmood, 31.
All charges involve acts contrary to section five of the 2006 Terrorism Act, said the spokeswoman.
Three of the nine men arrested last week have been released, while one remains in custody.
The alleged plot, if confirmed, would signal the import to Britain of what has thus far only been a tactic used against coalition forces and aid workers by Iraqi insurgency groups.
One of the two men released early on Wednesday, Abu Bakr, labelled Britain a "police state" for Muslims, adding that British terror laws "are designed specifically for Muslims".
"We are feeling the brunt of it all," he said in an interview with the BBC on Wednesday, shielding his face for fear of attracting attention to him and his family.
Eighteen residential and commercial properties in four areas of Birmingham were raided as part of the operation - codenamed Gamble.
