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.

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

That worked out real well, didn’t it?

Somebody get the address and prisoner identification number.

I want to contribute to this guy’s commissary fund.

Please see post # 35 of this thread

Well done.

Start killing all those terr bastards in the joint and they will get spooked.

Let's hope so! Thirty years' humiliation in jail is not going to be a good substitute for an islamofascist moron with dreams of 72 virgins.

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

Sounds like an appropriate 'thank you' for what they are doing to us every single day.

The irony makes me giggle...as much as the story of the Islamic bomb maker who set the timer wrong (different time zone, iirc) and detonated prematurely.

LMAO!

I suppose there's not much that can be done when he's housed with hundreds of other inmates who have nothing to do all day long except plan on how to do damage to him.

Hopefully, the guards will occasionally 'forget' to check on the prisoners in the shower when this one is among them....

I just tossed a call into the prison.

A very polite chap sadly informed me that he could give no details at all about either the 'victim' of the attack or the perpetrator.

He asked me about the purpose of my call and I told him I wanted to send a carton of cigarettes to the 'perp'. He very politely informed me that it would be much cheaper to simply send a check to the prison commissary fund.

He also told me how to look up cases in the British Court system

He did take pains to tell me that Her Majestys Government doesn't condone this sort of thing at all.

He then asked if I were sure I had his instructions as to how to follow this case in the British courts and he repeated the prison mailing address.

"Just want to make sure you've got it all." he said.

Gotta love the Brits....

To Hillary Clinton and the Democrats this would be a ACLU lawsuit against the prison for letting this happen. Torture would be decried.

Personally, I think the answer to the prison population would be for every prisoner who is sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty, to be issued upon coming into the prison, a "black pill" to be taken at their first opportunity of depression. We as tax payers would certainly be grateful...one less to pay for and "rehabilitate." I know…this would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Numerous prison officials would be fired and lose their pensions

An excellent idea, and it's rather odd that this hasn't come into practice in Scandinavian countries where assisted suicide has become an accepted part of law.  Apparently only the old, the sick and the depressed are allowed to end their lives, not those who have inflicted harm upon Society.

I suppose it's unnecessary in the prisons of China because you're more valuable to them alive as a factory worker, and when you've outlived your usefulness they 'harvest' your body organs at a time of their choosing.

Such a handsome lad too, in a swarthy slightly menacing way. Perhaps flash-frying isn’t the worst thing that could happen to him there.

My great hope is that this little incident is the very least of the indignities he suffers on a daily basis.

I suppose that learning about geography, time zones, the movement of the Earth and Sun and related matters are not part of the curriculum in the typical madrassa.  It would take away valuable class time from far more essential study areas as 'memorizing the koran', "hating everybody who isn't a muzzie, particularly the Jews", "bomb building made simple" "effective wifebeating", "screaming incoherently in a shrill voice without saying anything substantive" , "living your life without bathing" "hate as a way of life" etc. etc. etc.

There are only so many hours in the day, after all.

Hopefully some of the other 'lags' there in prison will be able to look beyond such superficialities and will continue to find him utterly fetching and captivating regardless of his disfigurement.

We certainly wouldn't want him to be lonely now, would we?   :-)
