UK: Muslim Bomber Was Under Surveillance Before 7/7
A report from the BBC claims that Mohammed Siddique Khan, pictured in his "farewell video", was under surveillance a year ago. The image has been painted of Khan, who led the four-man cell which carried out the attacks upon London Transport on 7 July, as a mild and considerate teaching assistant, whose "radicalism" surprised those who knew him.
A BBC Newsnight investigation has announced that Khan, from Dewsbury, Yorkshire, was associating with al-Qaeda activists for as long as five years prior to the attack on London. The metropolitan police have declined to comment on the Newsnight team's findings.
The claims are made that he was in contact to a known terrorist suspect, who cannot be named for legal reasons. Additionally, it is reported that he was secretly filmed talking to the suspect. The programme-makers have said that there is no independent corroboration for the films that Khan was filmed.
If the claims are true, then it would suggest that Khan was known to be a radical at one stage, but somehow interest in his activities moved on to other things.
A terror suspect in detention for his involvement with the Bali 2002 bombings has claimed that Khan travelled to Malaysia and the Philippines in 2001, where he met extremist leaders of Jemaah Islamiyah. Dr Rohan Gunaratna, who spoke to the Bali suspect, is featured in the documentary, which will be shown tonight on BBC at 22.30 BST.
Dr Gunaratna claims that "radical clerics have radicalised young British and European Muslims and have done al-Qaeda's work for them."
Paul Lever, the former head of the Joint Intelligence Committee has said there had been a "failure to understand the significance of allowing these clerics to recruit openly."
The presenter of the programme, Richard Watson, has said of Mohammed Siddique Khan: "A careful study of his background and contacts reveal a number of clues to his extremism which the British intelligence apparently missed."
