Muslim pupil planned to blow up BNP members, court hears

'September 11, Twin Towers blown up – 3,000 dead!'

I wonder what gave away his terrorist sympathies. Telegraph

Terrorist sympathiser Waris Ali is said to have angered teachers and fellow pupils with his radical views.

And he even allegedly asked librarians and a policeman how much potentially lethal fertiliser he could keep at home before it was illegal under anti-terror laws.

Ali, now 18, denies three charges of possessing articles for terrorist purposes, namely a copy of the Anarchists' Cookbook, 3.5kg of potassium nitrate and a quantity of calcium chloride. His co-accused Dabeer Hussain, also 18, denies one count of possessing the cookbook, which lists how to make lethal bombs.

"He was of the opinion that that he terrorist attack on America was a good, positive thing and he saw America as the enemy."

In art lessons his paintings concerned the teacher and he wrote the slogans 'President Bush must die' and 'Tony Blair must die'.

His year planner, in which ordinary pupils inserted holidays, birthdays or sports events, was confiscated as he wrote 'September 11, Twin Towers blown up – 3,000 dead!'

Mrs Colloby said all Ali ever wanted to discuss was the Muslim and American struggle.

"It was quite disturbing really," she said.

"He was vehement that his was the right opinion and he could not empathise with the other view."

Mrs Colloby, who has an American partner, told the jury that she entered her classroom in April 2,006 to see Ali being restrained by fellow pupils.

On her white board in black marker were the words 'All Americans MUST die!'

She said:Wasir was being held by one of the other students because some of the others wanted to be physically violent with him.
