Brit Muslim Guilty of Terror Charge

(London, England) A 28-year-old British man, Yassin Nassari, was convicted yesterday of possessing plans for terrorism. Nassari and his wife, Bouchra El Hor, 24, were arrested in May 2006 following a search of their luggage at Luton Airport. Police found missile and explosives information on his computer.
Nassari said he knew nothing about the missile plans, and said he had loaned the computer to a friend who was also now facing a terror charge.
Right. He didn't know that his computer contained the following information.
. . . Nassari's computer included jihadist material and instructions on how to build rocket-propelled missiles of a type used by the Palestinian group Hamas, together with information on explosives such as land mines, TNT and nitro-glycerine.
El Hor faced charges after police found a letter written by El Hor to her husband which said,
"I am so proud of my husband. I am happy that Allah has granted you the chance to be a martyr . . . Maybe one day I can follow you.

"If I can't, I will send our son to you so he can follow his father's footsteps."
El Hor, a Dutch citizen, claimed that the letter was a work of fiction. It seems the court believed El Hor or displayed sympathy since she was found not guilty. El Hor was acquitted of a charge of failing to disclose information regarding her husband's actions. Yassin Nassari is scheduled to be sentenced next week.

One last observation; after reviewing at least a dozen news sources covering the Nassari and El Hor story, not once did I see the words "Muslim" or "Islam." The absence of those two words from all the reports cannot be coincidental.
