A Sudanese man has been convicted of plotting an Islamic State-style terrorist attack in the UK.
Sudanese asylum seeker Munir Mohammed was already a terrorist at heart when he set out to cause harvoc in the UK. He planned to launch the attack with a home-made bomb or the poison ricin. Today, Monday, he was convicted at the Old Bailey alongside his despicably evil partner, London pharmacist Rowaida El-Hassan for his wicked plot.
When cops raided his home in December, 2017 they found two of the three ingredients needed for the attack.
The evil man hid bomb-making ingredients in a freezer and a wardrobe when counter-terrorism police raided the factory worker’s Leopold Street flat in December last year.

Mohammed had two of the three components necessary to create a high explosive known as “Mother of Satan” .
He bought nail polish remover from Asda in the mistaken belief it was a chemical component of the explosive. He was caught on CCTV shopping for it in the store. Investigating officers found a common chemical he bought at a pharmacy on Normanton Road in drawers, along with the nail varnish remover. In a fridge-freezer, with the internal door missing, was a plastic drinks bottle containing 500ml of clear liquid, which chemical analysis indicated was a type of acid.
DEMENTED
Demented Mohammed contacted a man on Facebook who he believed was an Islamic State commander to say he was ready to volunteer for a job in the UK. Material from Facebook was found by police on his mobile phone on how to make a bomb.
The would be killer had taken screen-shots from a Facebook post which detailed instructions on how to construct a bomb and detonate it remotely by a mobile phone. A video on his laptop showing how to produce the poison ricin was also found by police. Mohammed’s co-accused, London pharmacist Rowaida El-Hassan was his partner in crime.

El-Hassan was knowledgeable about the necessary components to make a bomb and offered some expertise advice for the plot.
El-Hassan made internet searches of “Florida terror attack kills 50 in deadliest mass shooting in US history” in September.
The satanic woman who met Mohammed on a Muslim dating site came to Britain from Sudan at the age of three. Prosecutors told jurors she had sulphuric acid for her drains and got face masks to wear as she dealt with a damp problem in her flat.
She told the court she had an emotional attachment with Mohammed and was grateful for things he had helped her with. ”He was grateful for things I helped him with. I liked the attention he was giving me, she told the court”

MINDSET
Judge Michael Topolski said: “Munir Mohammed, you have been convicted of planning a potentially devastating terrorist attack by creating an explosive device and deploying it somewhere in the UK targeting those you regarded as enemies of the Islamic State.”
Rowaida El-Hassan, you share the extremist mindset with Munir Mohammed and you were ideologically motivated to provide him with support, motivation and assistance.
“You knew he was engaging and planning an attack. You knew he was planning an explosion to kill and maim innocent people in the cause of Islamic State.”
After meeting online, Mohammed and El-Hassan shared many messages on What’s App and Facebook.
During the trial the prosecution said El-Hassan sent Mohammed a message on WhatsApp which read: “What are we going to do to Russia? All our focus is on America. Russia has done plenty but we haven’t done anything to them.”
The prosecution told the jury that El-Hassan made internet searches of “Florida terror attack kills 50 in deadliest mass shooting in US history” in September.
El-Hassan, who came to Britain from Sudan at the age of three, told jurors she had sulphuric acid for her drains and got face masks to wear as she dealt with a damp problem in her flat.
Asked if she had feelings for Mohammed, she said: “It was mixed feelings at the time. Yes, there was emotional attachment.
