| I don't think this is a joke, Dan: Four men charged with a terror plot had allegedly sworn allegiance to Islamic State and planned to murder police or soldiers in a drive-by shooting on the streets of London, a court heard on Friday. The quartet are accused of carrying out 21 separate steps over the past three months - including allegedly obtaining a gun with a silencer and carrying out “hostile reconnaissance” of a police station and a barracks - as part of the claimed conspiracy. Trainee doctor Tarik Hassane, 21, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday afternoon amid tight security alongside Suhaib Majeed, 20, Momen Motasim, 21, and 24-year-old Nyall Hamlett after Scotland Yard announced it was charging them with intending to commit acts of terrorism. The alleged activities of the men, detailed in a lengthy charge sheet issued by the Metropolitan Police, were said to have included viewing and retaining images sent via Instagram of two of the force’s officers and two of its community support officers as well as discussing buying and storing a moped. They were arrested nearly two weeks ago in pre-dawn raids at separate addresses by counter-terrorism officers. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/terror-plot-suspects-planned-to-murder-police-officers-or-soldiers-in-driveby-shooting-court-hears-9802670.html |
