'London Bomb Plot' Suspect Admits to Terrorism

From Scotsman.com News:
An American, who admits being part an alleged plot to blow up London pubs, rail stations and restaurants, faces 30 years to life in prison under an agreement with federal prosecutors in New York.

Mohammed Junaid Babar, who quit a £40,000 a year computer job in the hope of joining the fight against US troops in Afghanistan, has admitted terrorism charges.

He was arrested in New York by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in April as a material witness – a person whose testimony is required in a criminal investigation before a grand jury or in a trial – and has been in custody ever since.

Babar, 29, the grandson of Pakistani immigrants, has not been publicly charged.

We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
