Dhiren Barot planned to bomb the New York Stock Exchange, the International Monetary Fund HQ and London
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.
‘Ironic one of the last Brits with grit is in the Old Bailey.’
Thousands of other Brits are fighting the WOT alongside US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I’m sure they appreciate that kick in the balls delivered from the safety of your home, thousands of miles from the front line.
Nice use of imagery. Well said.

Agreed. I haven't had any respect for the Nobel Prize ever since it was awarded to Arafat and then Carter, but I have a new respect for the power of boiling oil in the hands of a suitably motivated person :-)
Too bad he didn't occasion actual bodily death.
And hopefully the 'lags' in there with them are making their lives a living Hell, with this story being only one small example.
But, boiling oil... that’s going the extra mile. Extra points for style and continuing that whole medieval theme that the islmotards are so fascinated with.
And in so many cases that's all they know, as well. They go to these madrassas which only teach Koranic hate, and so they know notthing else. They can probably barely even speak their own native languages.
Don’t forget the truck driver that challenged a future Nobel Peace Prize winner on the truth.
Too bad he didn't occasion actual bodily death.
Agreed in principle, but I would urge consideration of the situation at hand. We've got an arrogant little jihadist who now has been burned horribly all over his face and probably upper body at least. VERY painful, VERY disfiguring. He now has to bear the dishonor of not only failing in his bombing quests, but of failing to die as a jihadist during his bombing quests, of failing to actually kill any infidels, and now he has been physically humiliated in prison, and still he is unable to die.
He knows that he'll never get the 72 virgins and Allah is pretty ticked off at him right now because he has failed at every step of the jihadist path.
All of that, and he still will most likely be forced to take showers with the other inmates, with all that this entails in prison.
I would wish to politely suggest that life for this little twit is far worse than death.....every moment of life is total humiliation for him, in every aspect of his existence.
And I'm darned happy about that! :-)
Well...you know...if you sit around all day...with nothing much to do...no blogging...no C-Span...no garage projects...and do alot of thinking...boiling oil might come up fairly quick on the “to-do” list. On the negative side...your name in prison from this point on...as the original source...is likely to be “Oily” Bob. That part might not be a positive.
Point well taken. And I did consider that. But this one belongs in hell.
And he will indeed get there; of that I have no doubt. But it will be a very long and painful time in an earthly hell before he is allowed release into the eternal hell.
While he lives, he serves as a wonderful poster boy for the War On Terror....."Want to be a member of the terrorist trash? This is what we 'infidels' will do to you!."
I feel sad that he was hurt. Tomorrow, I’m checking myself into a mental hospital.
LMAO! awww...don't do that! A sane and healthy human will feel sympathy for the suffering of any living thing, because that's what makes us human and that's what makes us better than the islamofascists. After our natural moment of sympathy, we can temper our reactions appropriately.....if it were an honorable person who had been injured, we would retain those feelings and do what we can to alleviate the suffering, either directly or indirectly. In the case of a dishonorable subhuman, as in this case, we dispense with our momentary and natural sympathies and allow our deep appreciation for Justice to take over, which reminds us that this little event was one of the better things that has happened on Earth perhaps all day and so our perspectives are appropriately tempered :-)
Please leave the mental hospitals for those who really need them, such as Democrats.
Go to Hooters instead :-)
Dhiren Barot... scared for life (and after life)... in preparation for a fine time in hell.
Hopefully the Devil himself will take a 'personal' interest in him :-)
and the Devil ain’t no virgin.
LMAO!
My great hope is that there is a particularly painful place in Hell reserved for any subhuman that would harm a Lady.
And someone who perpetrates an acid attack on a Lady deserves a very long torture session before death.
Somebody get the address and prisoner identification number.
I want to contribute to this guy’s commissary fund.
Well done.
Start killing all those terr bastards in the joint and they will get spooked.
The old baby oil mixed with crushed styrofoam and sugar and then cooked in the microwave in a big plastic coffee mug....the big gulp style.....an old favorite getback method tween pals her in the Feds...helluva thing to wake up to toss in your face on your bunk...ouch
these monsters deserve no less
