UK Muslim couple convicted of plotting terror attack on Manchester Jews

A Muslim husband and wife were convicted on Thursday of plotting a terror attack, aimed at Jews in Manchester, northern England.

Shasta Khan, a 38-year-old hairdresser, was found guilty of preparing for acts of terrorism and two counts of possessing information likely to be useful in an act of terrorism. She denied involvement in the plot.

Her husband, Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, an unemployed car valet, pleaded guilty in an earlier hearing.

They will be sentenced on Friday afternoon.

Not that this has much to do with I/P. It has to do with Al Quaeda being vile lunatics, and occasionally people being stupid and nasty enough to follow their propaganda.

I know it does not have much to do with IP but neither does the post about the Israeli lawmaker tearing up a bible or the post about self immolation or the post about Israel's richest Rabbis.
