UK: Muslim Murderer Fled Country In Sister's Veil

On November 18 last year, two policewomen responded to an armed raid at a Universal Express travel agent's office in Bradford, Yorkshire. Both women were shot by the gunmen, who were Somali. 38-year old Sharon Beshenivsky died as a result of her injuries. Her colleague Teresa Milburn was seriously injured, but survived. The death of WPC Beshenivsky happened on the same day that her youngest daughter Lydia was holding her fourth birthday. Her family knew when Sharon did not arrive for Lydia's party that something was wrong.

The prime suspect in the murder was 25-year old Mustaf Jama, who had 21 previous convictions. On May 4 it was revealed that Mustaf Jama had fled to his native Somalia. Jama had not been deported after serving a prison sentence, because the Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, had ruled that Somalia was too dangerous. A few days later, Clarke was sacked, and was replaced by John Reid.

The 11-week long murder trial of five Somali men took place at Newcastle Crown Court. 25-year old Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah pleaded guilty to WPC Sharon Beshenivsky's murder in early October. The gang was said to have brought a machine gun, a knife and a pistol to the raid. The night before the fatal raid took place, the gang of seven drank champagne at an address in Harehills Lane, Leeds.

On Monday December 18, Yusuf Abdillh Jama, the younger brother of Mustaf Jamma, was convicted of murder.

25-year old Raza Ul-Haq Aslam was cleared of manslaughter and murder. Brothers 25-year old Faisal Razzaq and 26-year old Hassan Razzaq of orest Gate, London, were convicted of manslaughter.

Piran Ditta Khan is another member of the gang, who like Mustafa Jama has eluded detection. It is now revealed by various news sources, including the Times, BBC that Mustaf Jamma is thought to have fled the country while wearing a Muslim woman's face-veil, and carrying his sister's passport.

The shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, has said that Jamma's escape through passport control wearing a veil was "barely credible", Davis said: "Doing so when an All Persons Bulletin for murder has been issued demonstrates that our borders are not just porous but non-existent."

Jama (pictured left) is said to have fled Britain between Christmas Day and New Year's Day a year ago. His face had been widely publicized. Jamma's father was formerly a Somali MP who was a cousin of the ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. The Times states that "British immigration officers rarely carry out a visual check to match a passport photograph with a departing female passenger's veiled face."

Mustaf Jama and his brother Yusuf were asylum seekers. Yesterday, Sharon Beshenivsky's father said: "It is absolutely disgusting that this man - a criminal who acts like an animal - is shown human rights. What about my kids, my wife, my family?"

The Telegraph reports that Mustaf Jama had entered Britain using a forged passport, and thus should never have been granted asylum. A leader states that Jama's "escape was made possible by our misguided acceptance of a form of dress that so effectively conceals an individual's identity as to make even his gender unrecognisable."

During their trial, the members of the Somali gang made much of their Islamic faith, even leading the case to be briefly suspended to allow the men to have a day off for Eid al-Fitr (the holiday after Ramadan ends). In the raid, Muzzaker Shah warned the staff at Universal Express: "Don't make me shoot you on a Friday (holy day for Muslims)." Despite their "piety", some of the gang attended a brothel on the night preceding the raid.

In October, the Times revealed that at least one UK terrorist has evaded detection while wearing Muslim woman disguise, with a niqab or face-veil to hide his features. In Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorists have disguised themselves in burkas, and the Sunni murderer Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was said to frequently disguise himself as a veiled woman.

This case of Mustaf Jama is bound to fuel the controversy over the veil, which was initiated in Britain after comments made by former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on October 5. The full face veil is not an Islamic obligation, and is really a political gesture, representing Islamism's contempt for Western values. For more information see the article by Adrian Morgan on Family Security Matters and a Danish article by Chahdorrt Djavann, translated on Gates of Vienna.

In Canada last month, a burka-wearing Muslim "woman" with her male partner conducted a robbery at a Toronto jewelry store. "She" was a man, who drew a gun on the store owner, Abdul Rasheed Khalid. Surely it is time to discuss the banning of all face coverings, in the name of public security?
