Prisoner 'throws boiling oil' over terrorist leader who plotted to murder thousands with dirty bombs

A prisoner has been accused of throwing boiling oil over an al Qaida terrorist who planned to murder thousands with dirty bombs.

The 22-year-old inmate is accused of scarring for life Dhiren Barot, who was jailed for life for leading a British-based terrorist cell that plotted bombings across the world.

Barot's lawyer claimed he had the boiling oil thrown over him during the attack in the high security Frankland Prison in County Durham.

The unnamed prisoner faces charges of wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm following the incident on July 6.

He will appear in court later this month.

After the alleged attack, which left Barot, 35, with excruciating burns, a news blackout was imposed to protect medical staff from possible attack while he was treated at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.

A Durham Police spokesman said today in a statement: "A prison inmate from Sunderland has been charged with an assault at Durham's top security Frankland Jail this year.

"The victim, a 35-year-old Category A prisoner, suffered burns to his body and face in the alleged attack on July 6.

"He was treated for several days at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary before being readmitted to the prison.

"Police inquiries have been taking place since then and this morning detectives from Durham charged a 22-year-old from Sunderland with wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

"He is due to appear before magistrates at Peterlee on October 23."

Barot was sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 30 years, for planning to plant radioactive, chemical or toxic gas bombs and pack limousines with nails and explosives in the UK and America.

The al Qaida mastermind had been moved to Frankland from Belmarsh jail, south east London, after fears for his safety.

Barot was arrested in August 2004 and accused of conspiracy to murder.

He admitted planning to bomb several targets including the New York Stock Exchange, the International Monetary Fund HQ, and the World Bank.

Barot, who recruited other bomb plotters, was sentenced to life in prison last November.

It was recommended he serve 40 years but that was cut to 30 years on appeal in May.

Barot was born in India then moved to Kenya with his family.

They came to England in 1973 and his banker father had to work in a factory to support them.

Hindu Barot converted to Islam aged 20. He later travelled to Pakistan for al Qaida training and funding.

I’m assuming this ocurred in the kitchen? Or do prisoners in British prisons fry their own doughnuts in their cells.

Anyhow, despite the bizarre circumstances, bravo to the patriot!
He knows his Schezerade!!!

I wish they would give us his name so I could send him a gift package. I can just imagine the ass chewing that the judge is going to give hime. You know the one about criminal penalties must be set by a court and not untrained, emotional civilians.

I only wish it had been bacon drippings. That would be pure platinum brilliance.

You're right of course, but I'm guessing that pork products of any kind are forbidden in the prison's wing where this terrorist is housed, on the grounds of 'cultural sensitivity'.

Considering how much excruciating pain scumbags like this try to inflict on the rest of us, the phrase "just desserts" seems appropriate.

Too bad old Rumpole couldn’t get him off. “Rumpole and the Boiling Oil”. Sounds like the Timpsons put him in the frame-like.

The oil thrower should be given a parade and then a gourmet meal. He didn’t shank the guy in the shower but hey, nobody’s perfect.

“a news blackout was imposed to protect medical staff from possible attack”

So a guy gets fried and the other animals go after the medical staff trying to help him. Eat scorching napalm you filthy subhuman scum.

I wish they would give us his name so I could send him a gift package.

I would imagine that a postal item sent to "Unnamed prisoner involved in July 2007 attack on Dhiren Barot"

at this address would eventually get to him.  Alternatively, anyone could call the prison an ask for appropriate address details.

So, what’s the problem here?

As nearly as I can make it out, it has to do with wasting the oil. Or someone is complaining about having to clean up the mess.
