Briton Isa Ibrahim jailed for plotting suicide bombing
* Muslim convert jailed for at least 10 years
* Made his own homemade “suicide vest”
* Claims he wanted to blow it up on YouTube
A BRITISH Muslim convert was jailed for at least 10 years today for plotting to blow up a shopping centre using his own homemade “suicide vest”.
Isa Ibrahim, 20, a student from Bristol in southwest England, was arrested in April last year after police received what they described as a “landmark” tip-off from a member of the local Muslim community.
During a search of his home, police found a quantity of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine - a high explosive that can be made from household ingredients and the same substance as used in the deadly London suicide bomb attacks of July 7, 2005.
Also found in his one-bedroom apartment were an electrical circuit capable of detonating the explosive and a half-made suicide vest.
Detectives said his intended target was a busy shopping centre in Bristol.
(Sigh. Why do some morons still call it the ROP?)
