UK: Forest Gate Muslims "Taunted Army Personnel"
Exclusive news from today's Sun report that the two Muslims who had been arrested in a raid on their house in Forest Gate on June 2 are now involved in more suspicion of poor behaviour.
The raid on June 2 had been based on intelligence that 23-year old Mohammed Abdul Kahar (right in the picture) and his brother Abul Koyair, aged 21, had possessed a chemical weapon in their house in Lansdown Road. No weapon was found, but Mohammed Abdul Kahar was shot in the shoulder after Abul Koyair had tried to wrestle an armed officer, causing the gun to fire accidentally.
While repairs were made to the house, the family of the two brothers had been placed in the King's Cross Holiday Inn hotel, at a cost of £30,000 ($56,243) per month, excluding additional expenses for "extras" such as a clothing allowance (£200 or $377), "contingencies and financial commitments" (£10,000 or $18,856), and taxi fares for family members to go to counseling sessions. The Metropolitan Police, and ultimately the taxpayer, are funding this special treatment.
It was subsequently reported that the brother who had been shot, Mohammed Abdul Kahar, was being investigated for child pornography offenses. A computer which had been taken from the house was found to have such images on its drive, and on August 3 Kahar was formally charged.
The Sun's reporter Simon Hughes states that just two days before Kahar's arrest, the two brothers are thought to have been standing outside Wellington Barracks, near Buckingham Palace, and shouting abuse at British soldiers.
Three Welsh Guardsman were on duty and received most of the brother's abuse, it is claimed.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "We are investigating an allegation of harassment outside Wellington Barracks at 10pm on August 1. There have been no arrests made so far."
The two brothers had screamed, it is alleged: "We hope you die in Iraq!". They made gestures of "machine-gunning" the guardsmen, and also spat.
A source from Whitehall is quoted as saying: "The guardsmen knew exactly who they were because they pass by very often. There have been various incidents in the past but never this bad. The soldiers showed great restraint - and just showed them the steely eye."
