Terrorists Show More of Their Endless Creativity in Service of Death: Sold Poisoned Food

Islamic terrorists again have demonstrated how endlessly creative they can be in the service of death.  The U.K. Times reports that a London bomb suspect sold poisoned food as his contribution to the jihad:

AN ISLAMIST terrorist sold poisoned burgers from a street-corner van and planned to contaminate beer at a football stadium, the Old Bailey was told yesterday.

The alleged extremist, one of seven on trial for plotting to blow up British targets, was also said to have suggested poisoning takeaway food and sabotaging BT.

The claim was made by an American supergrass said to have links to al-Qaeda, testifying against his alleged former accomplices. He said another defendant attended a talk given by Abu Hamza al-Masri, the jailed cleric, where “video wills” made by the September 11 attackers were praised.

More details from the trial testimony:

Fired up for jihad (holy war), the men were said to be keen to fight in Afghanistan but were told by Mr Mahmood that this was not possible — the country was closed to foreigners.

Mr Mahmood, who worked for Transco National Grid, then allegedly gave examples of possible British targets to his accomplices. Some were intended to cause maximum financial damage by hitting utilities or telecommunication plants.

The court was told that other suggestions included taking a job as a beer-seller at a football stadium, smuggling in poison in a syringe. Babar said Mr Mahmood claimed that he had already sold toxic burgers from a mobile van.

Another plan was to distribute leaflets for a fictional take-away restaurant, then deliver poisoned food to houses.

There are endless ways to be evil, and Islamic terrorists are apparently determined to work their way through all of them. 

All civilized nations must fight unite to fight this cancer.
