The Algerian Terrorist.

[Margaret Pilkington]

On the BBC news tonight there was a report about an algerian terrorist......he killed a policeman and was only apprehended because the police were doing some immigration checks in Manchester.......he has been sentenced to life imprisonment for this crime, but it was found during the investigation that he had been manufacturing Ricin - a deadly poison - and was intent on causing havoc in London by putting this substance on the handles of car doors.......he has been found guilty of this offence......but 8 members of his terrorist cell have been acquitted on technicalities.

My question is this.......what on earth are we doing harbouring this terrorist in a British Jail?
It is going to cost us thousands of pounds......your money and mine......to keep this guy.
Shouldn't he have been deported back to his own country........? Or am I being un-PC?

[Margaret Pilkington]

He was also manufacturing other toxic substances and was waiting for instructions from Al-Qaeda

[ShortStuff]

Totally agree Margaret - it's absolutely disgraceful. It's also shocking that only 1 person has been convicted - and I'm sure the others that have been acquitted are also still in the country. There probably being given legal aid to sue the police for ever arresting them.

[K.S.H]

Too right we should keep him, he did the crime in this country so should be jailed and fed in this country!

1. breakfast - 2oz of Risin
2. Lunch - 2 oz of arsenic
3. Tea - 2lb of Risin and 2lb od Arsenic
4. If he's still alive give him a bed of nails to sleep on, there again it might be what he's used too!

saw it margaret- what i can't understand is he seems to have been aquitted cos he only had a small amount of these substances to make ricin and the other poison,i was under the impression a small amount of ricin produced can do a great deal of damage. am i missin something here?

[Margaret Pilkington]

Can you imagine the havoc it would have caused if they had put it on the handles of the trains, cars etc.
There was a news blackout at the time because it was such a sensitive subject.Although the murder of the policeman was reported.
Another thing has just struck me.......while this guy is in clink he can be teaching all the other disenfranchised yobs how to poison the population with stuff that you can get from a tabacconists.

[Margaret Pilkington]

totally agree with you K.S.H.......and if he has lost his appetite.......then fire it at him in a 10lb shell

[WillowTheWhisp]

He shouldn't be allowed to communicate with other prisoners. He should be in solitary. Deporting is a touchy subject. No doubt he'd be welcomed back by the terrorists he works with/for.

He should be hanged.
I dont want my hard erned money spent keeping people like him alive thankyou very much.
Now witch political party will hang him so I can cast my vote?

iwould quite happily hang him for you neil.unfortunately i don't represent a political party.

The news said he was refused immigration in 2001 I think ( might have been 2003 ).
The only reason one of our Police Officers died is because of our crazy and pathetic immigration system

[chav1]

if he was sent back to his country he would have been freen to do more dammage

a simple execution would have surficed

[JohnW]

This is war, he should be shot as a spy.
