I have no doubt Corner readers will be just as shocked and grieved as I was on reading this story from England:
A prisoner has been accused of throwing boiling oil over an al Qaeda terrorist who planned to murder thousands with dirty bombs.
The attacker is described as a 22-year-old from Sunderland, up there by the wall in the windswept northeast of England. But who was the victim of this dastardly attack?
[Dhiren] Barot was sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 30 years, for planning to plant radioactive, chemical or toxic gas bombs and pack limousines with nails and explosives in the UK and America … Barot was arrested in August 2004 and accused of conspiracy to murder. He admitted planning to bomb several targets including the New York Stock Exchange, the International Monetary Fund HQ, and the World Bank.
The attack, we are told, left Barot with “excruciating burns.” Poor fellow!
