Social workers housed baby with family of terrorist

A foster child was sent to live with the family of the ringleader of the airlines bomb plot by the same council that was at the centre of the Baby P abuse case.

Haringey Council placed the child with relatives of Abdulla Ahmed Ali who was found guilty of planning to kill thousands of innocent people by blowing up trans-Atlantic airliners in coordinated suicide attacks.

The child was placed in a house in Walthamstow, East London, where Ali and his wife lived along with a number of her relatives. The couple later moved out to a council flat nearby, paid for with housing benefit.

Ali was bugged discussing taking his child on the flight with him and police found a passport application for his nine month old son, although he had told an accomplice he did not think his wife would agree with the plan.

His wife faces charges of failing to disclose information about the attack. She denies the allegations.

Ali had been under surveillance by MI5 for more than a year because of his involvement with a “facilitation” network supplying money, equipment and recruits to al-Qaeda in Pakistan.

But the council has said it was not aware of his activities and had removed the child following his arrest in August 2006.

A spokesman for Haringey said: "The placement here was made after checks and before anyone was made aware of any terrorist activity in the extended family network.

"The child was moved immediately when the police were in touch and arrests were made in 2006. The family no longer fosters for Haringey."

Sources suggested that the baby had been placed with the family partly because of a chronic shortage of Muslims foster parents.

Seems like they got a dose of insanity. It seems to come in a bottle these days, to be sprayed on people.

So a “Muslim baby” must be placed with “Muslims”, but a heterosexual child doesn’t have to be placed with heterosexuals.

Logical.

Totally logical. Some of us are more equal than others. Muslims, homosexuals and feminists are “in”. Heterosexuals, Christians, supporters of the family are most definitely “out”.
