SNIPPET: "A PLOT to kidnap a governor at one of the country’s top-security jails has been foiled by a last-minute tip-off.

Al-Qaeda gangsters planned to hold a prison boss hostage in a cell in Belmarsh prison, which cages notorious inmates including hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza and the failed London bombing gang."

SNIPPET: "The prison was already at “unprecedented” levels of security after a plot to booby-trap governor Phil Wragg’s car was foiled in April."

“Muslim Boys gang are ‘planning massive attack’ at Belmarsh prison in revenge for Osama bin Laden killing”
by Greig Box-Turnbull, Daily Mirror 2/08/2011

SNIPPET: ““There are concerns it will take an officer’s death before the Muslim Boys are tackled seriously.

“The levels of security being employed are unprecedented.Management are worried the Muslim Boys are planning an incident in Bin Laden’s honour on a scale never seen before.

“Security around the past three Friday prayers has been massive.”

The prayers at the Category A prison in South-East London are attended by high profile terror figures including hook-handed preacher of hate Abu Hamza.

The Muslim Boys, a splinter group of al-Qaeda, are thought to have been plotting since Bin Laden was killed by US troops in May.”

I guess the killing of Bin Laden is reasonable enough, but surely with a bit more thought they could have had a better pre-text than that.

With Abu Hamza, they’d have less to quarter.

Personally, I’m reluctant to make martyrs out of morons....it’s what they want.

A more fitting punishment; lifetime confinement in “The Hole” (though of course, I doubt they have anything like that anymore). Or just life in solitary confinement, AND I wouldn’t let him attend the congregational prayers...he can pray in his cell just as easily. If asked, I’d say, “Security risk.” End of story.
