A much more striking connection between the 2017 attacks, as far as I was concerned, wasn't listed in the report. Four of the five attackers had a history of domestic abuse, amounting to a catalogue of verbal and physical attacks on female relatives and, in the case of the Manchester bomber, Salman Abedi, a brutal assault on a young woman who was in his class at college; the figure rises to five out of six if we include Osborne, the right-wing extremist who drove a hired van into worshippers leaving a mosque in north London. Less information has emerged about the family relationships of the remaining attacker, Khuram Butt, but we know that he displayed a somewhat detached view of fatherhood; Butt led the suicide attacks on London Bridge and Borough Market a matter of weeks after his wife had given birth to their second child. Another of the men in Butt's cell, Rachid Redouane, had a daughter aged seventeen months at the time he was shot dead by armed police, demonstrating a readiness to abandon infants which will figure in the biographies of a number of the perpetrators who appear in this book.

The patriarchal assumptions common among such men, who seek to control every aspect of the lives of their wives and children, extend neither to considering their long-term welfare nor to protecting them from the consequences of horrific public acts of violence. It is a chilling view of family relationships in which becoming a husband and father appears to have more to do with confirming a man's status - and acquiring residency rights, in some cases - than forming close attachments. The widows and children of terrorists have to live not just with grief and loss but with the notoriety of their male relatives, even in cases where they themselves were the first victims of an escalating species of male violence.

The wider pattern of terrorists with a history of domestic abuse certainly isn't limited to the UK: in the couple of years before the 2017 attacks, I kept noticing that the perpetrators of some of the most notorious terrorist attacks in Europe and the US had first been violent towards wives and girlfriends. Domestic violence turned up in the background of the security guard who attacked the Pulse nightclub in Florida (forty-nine dead, fifty-three injured), the lorry driver who drove into crowds in Nice on Bastille day (eighty-six dead, 458 injured), the elder of the two brothers responsible for the Boston marathon bombing (three dead, several hundred injured) and a fraudster who took hostages in a café in Sydney in December 2014 (two dead, three injured).

Critics will say that is to be expected, given that we are talking about a cohort of violent men, but that is my point: male violence doesn't stay in neat categories. Persistent offenders tend to have convictions for a whole range of violent offences, as I show in chapter two, and I'm suggesting that men who are used to beating, kicking, choking and stabbing women at home are considerably further along the road towards committing public acts of violence. Police and paramedics who have attended incidents of extreme domestic violence, coming upon a scene of injured women and children, pools of blood and overturned furniture, will recognise similarities with the aftermath of a marauding terrorist attack; these are men who have practised behind closed doors, relishing the sensation of holding the power of life or death over family members and becoming desensitised to the horrible effects of violence.

A teenage Muslim convert who became radicalised online during lockdown was 24 hours away from carrying out a terrorist attack when he was arrested, police have revealed.

Matthew King, 19, carried out reconnaissance on a police station and an army barracks in east London and researched buying knives and a sword on the internet.

After covertly taking photographs of police officers standing outside a magistrates court, King posted a message on Snapchat which read: “Target acquired.”

Commander Dom Murphy from Scotland Yard’s SO15 counter terrorism command said he believed King had been as little as 24 hours away from launching a low sophistication terrorist attack when he was arrested on May 18 last year at his home in Wickford, Essex.

Earlier this year, King admitted one count of preparing a terrorist act and at a hearing at London’s Old Bailey on Friday was sentenced to life with a minimum term of six years.

King, who lived with his mother and two sisters, had a troubled childhood. He was expelled from school and referred to a special educational unit in Basildon.

He converted to Islam after spending hours online while isolated during the Covid lockdown.

His mother said it initially helped him have some focus, but he quickly became more extreme in his views, questioning how his sisters dressed and calling them “slags”.

King soon became obsessed with Islamic State and began researching notorious terrorists including Mohammed Emwazi aka Jihadi John and Salman Abedi, the Manchester Arena suicide bomber.

In December 2021, King registered with an online knife supplier and made inquiries about purchasing a sword.

He also bought military-style equipment including special ops glasses, a balaclava and technical combat gloves.

In online conversations with a Muslim girlfriend, King discussed wanting to travel to Syria to become a martyr and spoke of how he dreamed of torturing and killing British and US soldiers.

‘Kill all non-Muslims’

He also changed his WhatsApp status to: “Kill all non-Muslims wherever you see them.”

King, who had been attending a mosque in Chelmsford, Essex, was asked to leave after posting messages on social media praising jihad.

His behaviour became so concerning that the police received numerous reports from members of the public including calls to the anti-terror hotline.

In April 2022, he carried out internet searches for Usman Khan and Karim Butt who were responsible for separate terror attacks in London in 2017.

At an Eid event in Southend he spoke about the importance of jihad and picked up a water pistol and squirted a community support officer.

With help from MI5, counter terror police mounted a covert surveillance operation on King and observed him carrying out hostile reconnaissance on police stations in Stratford, east London.

On May 17, King was spotted scoping out the 7th Battalion The Rifles barracks in West Ham and the following day, fearing he was just hours from launching an attack, counter-terror police raided his home and arrested him.

Commander Murphy praised the actions of those who had reported King and said lives had probably been saved.

He said: “I know public confidence is a real challenge for the Met at the moment but this is a story about people being saved from a terrorist attack by members of the public.

“If it had not been for the public reports our investigation would have been all the more challenging. It’s thanks to that support from the public that we were able to keep the public safe.”

When King was arrested he told officers: “I don’t believe in the UK law, the only law I believe in is the law of Allah.”

Mr Murphy said while he had pleaded guilty to the offences, King had shown no remorse since his arrest and had not changed his mindset.

Failure of Virat, Rohit against Pakistan is the best thing to happen to Team India: Salman Butt Former Pakistan captain Salma... #usa #uk

[nfliplnews]

[ad_1] The Asia Cup might be a continental tournament in cricket but it's biggest point of attraction remains the India vs Pakistan contest. With the two teams set to face each other, potentially on three occasions, fans are understandably enthralled. In fact, the India vs Pakistan contest remains the most talked about subject of the event. While comparisons between the two teams have been coming thick and heavy, former Pakistan star Salman Butt doesn't feel the Indian team is as prepared for the challenge his compatriots.In a video on his YouTube channel, Butt hailed the clarity that Pakistan have in terms of squad selection whereas the topic is a lot more open for the Indian team. For Butt, India's team is a lot more fragile, especially considering some of the star players have been injured for a long time."If we look at India's fast bowling, fitness is a concern. Players have been unfit for a long time, we don't know if they are fragile, will they go full throttle. Apart from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, they have youngsters, who have played plenty of cricket but they don't have that much of experience."India have won matches only when Rohit Sharma has played well or Virat Kohli has done something spectacular. When the onus is on others they have mostly struggled," he said.While the Indian team has quite a few match-winners, Butt finds the batting unit 'brittle'. In comparison to Pakistan, Butt also feels India don't have the sort of express pacers that Babar Azam's side has."Pakistan have Babar, Rizwan, Fakhar, Shadab, Shaheen, Haris Rauf. And in my opinion, Pakistan have a much larger core group. India too have match-winners like Jadeja, Shami, Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli. But their batting is brittle, if Pakistan pick the two big wickets then the others will have a lot to prove. They have not helped India win matches against Pakistan or in their own," the former Pakistan captain opined."We have bowlers who can bowl at 90mph, only one or two can touch 90mph, others don't have that much pace. This is an added advantage. We have both types of spinners, fast bowling all-rounder, and he too touches 140kph," he said.Butt also took a swipe at the IPL, saying no matter how much the Indian players grind themselves in the T20 league, it doesn't bring the sort of pressure that a match against Pakistan does."There are plenty of expectations from India, hence the pressure is more. And since India have not played against Pakistan for a long time for whatever reasons, their players no matter how much IPL they've played, they don't have the experience of playing in such a high-voltage clash. Chahe subah, dopahar, sham IPL khel le (no matter how much you play in the IPL) it does not bring the same pressure, which is during India-Pakistan series," he said.Topics mentioned in this article [ad_2] Source link
