Dangerous al-Qaeda prisoners try to escape by hijacking helicopter

Al-Qaeda terrorists in a British jail were caught planning to escape in a hijacked helicopter.

Accomplices on the outside were to hire the helicopter for "business" then force the pilot to land in prison at gunpoint.

Nine Muslim inmates plotted to kidnap the jail imam during prayers with weapons hidden in the prison mosque.

Hidden in the prison mosque? Why is there a mosque in the prison? Why are these guys not watched 24 hours per day? They should never be out of site. How did they get weapons?

According to the plan they would then move to a sports field using the imam as a shield and be picked up by the helicopter.

Wardens at Full Sutton prison in Yorkshire, acting on a tip-off, went to the plotters' cells hours before the escape attempt was due to start.

The nine, including convicted terrorists, will now be transferred to other jails.

A source told the Sun: "This would have been one of the most damaging escapes ever. The intelligence was very strong and from a good source. It had to be acted on immediately.

"It involved some of the most dangerous al-Qaeda terrorists in jail, all of whom are a massive threat. It had been planned for months and the use of a helicopter shows it was sophisticated."

The prison holds notorious terrorists like Omar Khyam who plotted to blow up Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent.

Security sources said the jail imam was innocent.

The source added: "The imam is a respected figure for his ability to embrace all faiths.

You know the imam was a puppet. He was part of the plot. How did the weapons get into the mosque?

And there it is: at first, it seemed weird that these Muslims would use an imam as their shield; now it's clear they used him as they had concluded he was a munafiq (hypocrite), or worse, an apostate, deserving of death.

"But that makes him a target for the extremists in this jail who want to convert Muslims to their warped views."

A spokesman for the Justice Department confirmed a possible plot had been uncovered on Friday. He said the Prison Service was investigating.

You cannot trust any muslim. Their goal is to take over the world in the name of allah the moon god. They are telling us this. Why does no one listen?
