Once again, a textbook case of how home-grown terrorists are rapidly being spawned:
A British-born Muslim student found guilty of Islamist terrorism offences … could have been planning to take part in alleged al-Qa’eda attacks in Canada. Mohammed Atif Siddique, 21, who has been described as Scotland’s first homegrown terrorist, provided instruction on weapons and booby-trap bomb making over the internet, and showed videos of beheadings and suicide bombers to fellow students at the Glasgow Metropolitan College. The small town shopkeeper’s son told friends that Osama Bin Laden was his god, and one classmate overheard him saying that he wanted to “bomb Glasgow.” He was convicted of possessing and distributing terrorist material through websites … [it is believed] he was radicalised through contact with a [a major recruiting Islamic agent] … over the internet …The alleged Canadian plot included detonating truck bombs, blowing up shopping malls and storming the Canadian Broadcast Centre and the parliament building. The alleged plotters are also accused of planning to behead the prime minister Stephen Harper and other leaders. [The Daily Telegraph]
