A BRITISH terrorist who helped set up an Islamist training camp in the US has been jailed.

A BRITISH terrorist who helped set up an Islamist training camp in the US has been jailed today at a court in New York.

In 2013, the European Court of Human Rights blocked his extradition because of his mental condition. 

But after assurances from the US that Aswat would receive adequate care, London's High Court approved the extradition and he arrived in the country in October 2014.

Prosecutors say Aswat, a British citizen of Indian descent, and another man, Oussama Kassir, went to Oregon 16 years ago at the request of radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri to set up the camp in a town called Bly.

Aswat's intended role was to provide religious training at the camp, which prosecutors say was set up to support al-Qaeda and had the "terrifying objective" of training Muslim men to fight in Afghanistan.

At the time of his plea earlier this year, Aswat said he had suffered from symptoms of schizophrenia for the last 20 years and was being treated.

Aswat, who is originally from West Yorkshire, is believed to have been in close contact with the four suicide bombers in the days before the London terror attacks on three Tube trains and a bus.

He was also an associate of the infamous British extremist Abu Hamza.

The one-eyed, handless Abu Hamza was convicted at trial in May 2014 by US District Judge Katherine Forrest, who will also sentence Aswat and in January handed Abu Hamza a life term.

In court filings, lawyers for Aswat said a prison term of 12-and-a-half years would be appropriate, saying he was a gentle man who never condoned violence.

But prosecutors have asked for the maximum sentence of 20 years, calling him a "loyal and devoted follower" of Abu Hamza.

Aswat's lawyers have also said they hope he receives credit for time he has spent in custody since his arrest in Zambia in 2005 and deportation to Britain.

British Nigerian pervert jailed for masturbating on woman aboard London train

Peter Fabiyi, 32, received a 45-month prison sentence after he was arrested last year for masturbating on a female train passenger while riding the London Underground subway train.
A British pervert was jailed after he masturbated and then ejaculated on a terrified female train passenger. Peter Fabiyi approached the woman as she sat alone on a London Underground subway train in July last year.

The 32-year-old then performed the solo sex act when they were both alone in the carriage, after which she fled in panic.

Fabiyi admitted sexual assault at a hearing last month, and was sentenced to 45 months in prison at Blackfriars Crown Court in London.

Fabiyi was also handed a sexual harm prevention order, stopping him from approaching women sitting alone on trains except for staff.

At the time of the incident, British Transport Police followed Fabiyi to a station where he slid under ticket barriers to avoid paying a fare.

"This was a hugely shocking and frightening incident for this woman, and I commend her for having the awareness and courage to report the offense and support the prosecution," said Detective Constable Jennifer Brown, who led the investigation. "This sentence sends the clear message that sexual behavior on trains or at stations is completely unacceptable and police will use every method at our disposal to identify people responsible and bring you before the courts — it is simply not worth it

Mother took selfie of boyfriend pointing gun at her, hours before he allegedly shot her dead

An Arkansas woman posted selfies on social media showing her boyfriend pointing a gun at her head hours before he allegedly shot her dead, police said.

Stephanie Hernandez, mother of a 3-year-old and an 8-month-old daughter, on Sunday she posted one picture of a gun and ammo in her Little Rock home.

She also sent a Snapchat photo showing her smiling at the camera while her boyfriend, Rafael Gonzalez, holds a gun behind her head, "Strap Chat," the caption said, punning a slang term for carrying a gun.

That night, the 21-year-old was found dead from a gunshot wound in her house. Police found the home ransacked, with blood all over a floor.

The next day, Gonzalez, 20, was arrested and charged for first-degree murder, police said. 

It’s unclear what led to Gonzalez allegedly shooting his girlfriend. Hernandez’s daughters were with relatives when the shooting happened, her friends said.

Hernandez’s family members were horrified to see the pictures she had taken, not knowing they would be her last.

“They were disturbing to see (Gonzalez) holding a gun,” Hernandez’s uncle Rey Hernandez said. “I guess they were loaded. In her back  it is just mind-blowing. I don’t understand how anybody could do that.” Now they’re left to explain to Hernandez’s little girls what happened. My nieces have been crying all night,” Hernandez’s sister Camryn Startz told the new reporter. I haven't told my 3-year-old niece anything yet. She knows something is wrong because she wants her mom.”

Relatives said Hernandez had just moved into a new home weeks ago and was supposed to start a job Monday morning.

One friend, Jaquinlan Davis, said Hernandez’s boyfriend was “a bad influence” and the two had a rocky, on-and-off relationship.

CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS OPENED AGAINST SEPP BLATTER

The Swiss attorney general has announced criminal proceedings have been opened against FIFA president Sepp Blatter. The Swiss attorney general's office issued a statement saying Blatter is suspected of criminal mismanagement or misappropriation over a TV rights deal he signed with former Caribbean football chief Jack Warner in 2005.

He is also suspected of "a disloyal payment" of two million Swiss francs to UEFA president Michel Platini - who is the favourite to succeed him - in 2011.

A statement from the Swiss attorney general read: "Swiss criminal proceedings against the President of FIFA, Mr. Joseph Blatter, have been opened on 24 September 2015 on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and - alternatively - misappropriation.

Mr. Joseph Blatter is suspected of a disloyal payment of CHF 2 Mio. to Michel Platini, President of Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), at the expense of FIFA, which was allegedly made for work performed between January 1999 and June 2002; this payment was executed in February 2011."

The news of the opening of the criminal proceedings emerged after FIFA had cancelled Blatter's press conference in Zurich on Friday afternoon.

Blatter was expected to face the media following the FIFA executive committee meeting, but the briefing was called off just minutes before it was set to take place.

It was later revealed that Blatter was interrogated following the FIFA executive committee meeting and that parts of FIFA's headquarters, including Blatter's office, had been searched.

A statement from FIFA read: "Since 27 May 2015, FIFA has been cooperating with the Office of the Swiss Attorney General (OAG) and has complied with all requests for documents, data and other information. We will continue this level of cooperation throughout the investigation.

"Today, at the Home of FIFA, representatives from the Office of the Swiss Attorney General conducted interviews and gathered documents pursuant to its investigation. FIFA facilitated these interviews as part of our ongoing cooperation.

"We will have no further comment on the matter as it is an active investigation."

Saudi prince reportedly arrested at Los Angeles compound for alleged sex crime

A Saudi prince reportedly was arrested Wednesday at a compound near Beverly Hills in connection with an alleged sex crime, according to Los Angeles police. Los Angeles police were called to the gated community in Wallingford Drive, Beverly Glen area after a caretaker at the home reported a 'disturbance', officials said.

Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28, was arrested on suspicion of forced oral copulation of an adult. Police were called to the gated compound after a caretaker at the home reported the disturbance.

Al-Saud was freed on $300,000 bail Thursday afternoon. LAPD officer Drake Madison said the  suspect was booked after 4 p.m.

Capt. Tina Nieto said the police department has a consul liaison that checks with foreign nations’ consulates regarding a certain person’s diplomatic immunity. Nieto said Al-Saud doesn’t have immunity in this case.

Tennyson Collins, a neighbor, saw a bleeding woman trying to scale the property’s 8-foot wall on Wednesday. When Collins returned home from work, police followed his car through the gates and then onto the property. He said officers escorted about 20 people out of the compound, most of them staff members.

Police said Al-Saud was only renting the home, which Zillow values at $37 million. Collins said different foreign nationals have been renting out the home for weeks at a time over the past year.

Beverly Hills is fast becoming a playground for the mega rich from the Middle East.

For the past few summers, rich young Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis and other Middle Easterners, accompanied by their personal Ferraris, Bugattis and Aventadors, have flocked to the area after their former haunts in Paris, London, Cannes and Monaco became less receptive to the crush of super-expensive supercars with Arabic tags drawing crowds of gaping rubberneckers

Nigerian Man Who Returned From Brazil For a Wedding Arrested With Cocaine In Lagos

39-year-old Okpue Ernest Ifeanyi came to Nigeria from Brazil for his traditional wedding, but was arrested by operatives of the Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for being possession of suspected wraps of cocaine.

Ifeanyi confessed that he was paid N400,000 to take 59 wraps of cocaine to Nigeria. He said that he decided to take the deal because he wanted to add more money to his already planned wedding.

The groom-to-be said that he suspected someone cast a spell on him, for he could not understand why he jeopardised his planned traditional wedding and dashed his betrothal’s happiness because of N400,000.

Ifeanyi, who has lived in Brazil for a year, said: “I work in a restaurant in Brazil.

I sincerely want to get married and have a family. In the process of trying to make more money, I was given 59 wraps of cocaine to take to Nigeria for N400,000. Now I realised I have made a big mistake. I pray my woman will find a place in her heart to forgive me. I feel I’m under a spell.” Arrested along with Ifeanyi are Okonkwo Daniel Anagor, 26, Lawal Monsuru Ademola, 33, Ogbonna Donatus Chigozie and Okoro Chibueze Augustine.

The Head, Media and Publicity of NDLEA, Mitchel Ofoyeju, said the suspects were caught at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, for unlawful possession of 10.255kgs of narcotics hidden in garri (West African food made from cassava) and luggage.

Trado-medical practitioner, couple arrested over sale of two-week-old baby for N130,000

  

A couple and a traditional medical practitioner have been arrested over alleged sale of a two-week and four-day- -old baby for N136,000, at Ipaja area of Lagos.
The principal suspect, Mr Onolaja Olawale, a traditional medical practitioner,  was alleged to have sold the baby to Mr and Mrs Dele  Ayogbile, who have been barren for six years  years,   last week, after informing them that the biological mother was dead.

But the bubble burst after co-tenants of the couple who claimed never to have seen Mrs Oluwakemi Ayogbinle pregnant, suspected foul play and contacted the police.

To the surprise of all, the baby, according to Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, who paraded the suspects before journalists yesterday, was discovered to have been sold to the couple.

Preliminary investigation according to Owoseni, showed that the traditional-medical practitioner was a family friend to parents of the baby he sold.

Mother of the baby, Mrs Idiat Babatunde, who had just concluded her Higher National Diploma, HND, at the  Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State, claimed to have left the baby in the care of the Olawales, in their Ikola Ipaja home,  eight days after delivery (September 13, 2015). Same day, she  reportedly left for school to conclude documentation in her faculty , towards  the compulsory one year National Youth Service Corps.

But next day, the trado-medical practitioner was said to have invited the barren couple to come and pick a baby for adoption.

When approached, Olawale did not deny the allegation. Rather, he stated  that mother of the baby was aware of the planned adoption, alleging that she collected N70,000 of the initial payment of N136,000 for the sale of the baby.

He said: “Mrs Babatunde gave me the baby to take care of because my wife is also breastfeeding.  We have been family friends . But when I discovered that taking care of two children at the same same time was burdensome on my wife,  who gave birth through caesarean, I decided to give the baby to a client who I have been giving concoction for child birth.  I informed the baby’s biological mother before giving the baby out. I told her that the baby would be with the new mother for three months.

“I collected N130,000 from the new mother, Mrs Oluwakemi Ayogbinle, and an additional N6,000 which I said would be used to process adoption forms at Alausa, Ikeja, to avoid any embarrassment. I even gave the biological mother N70,000 out of the money.

“The actual amount I told the new parents was N300,000. But they only paid N136,000.” But the biological mother denied knowledge of the sale of her baby, let alone collecting any money from Olawale. She explained that she dropped her baby with the Olawales on trust, with the intention of returning after one week  later for the baby.”

On her part, the woman who collected the baby from the trado-medical practitioner, blamed her action on  her state of bareness for six years. The climax of her predicament, according to her, came  when her husband abandoned her.

Ayogbile said: “I have been taking herbs from Mr Olawale since 2013 because of the incessant miscarriages.  After several effort to get pregnant proved abortive, my husband left our home last year.

“At a point, Olawale suggested I should adopt a baby. He called me on Monday to come for a baby. I decided to contact my husband because of the amount Olawale demanded. But my husband insisted that he must have documents to  back up the adoption before he would take the baby. So, he brought N136,000 as part payment.”

Britons Shocked After 'Burglar' Dies In Villa

A couple and their son are said to be receiving counselling after allegedly fighting off a burglar who died at their £1.5m home.

A suspected burglar has died after he was restrained by a British father and son who allegedly caught him breaking into their £1.5m villa on the Algarve in Portugal.

It is thought the suspect, who was discovered at the house on the outskirts of Vilamoura, was still alive when police first arrived after being called by the British man's wife.

Officers found the father and son - named locally as Trevor and Scott Taylor - grappling with the suspect while Jill Taylor was in the garden, according to sources.

The father, 60, was on top of the suspect while the son had his arm around his neck, it is believed.

The suspected intruder is understood to have suffered heart failure as officers went to handcuff him and they were unable to revive him.

It is alleged Mrs Taylor, 59, had heard a noise in the house, went to investigate and found a man with family possessions in his hands including their car keys.

She screamed and then her husband and son came into the room and apprehended him before police arrived in the early hours of Sunday.

The father and son are believed to have sustained minor injuries and have been questioned by officers but not arrested.

However, if they want to leave the neighbourhood they have to inform the Portuguese authorities.

Now it is up to the public prosecutor to decide if legal action is brought.

A source said: "Police received a call around 4am on Sunday and when GNR officers arrived, found the wife waiting for them in the garden.

"The father was on top of the intruder when police went in and his son behind him with his arm round his neck. There had obviously been a struggle and the son was trying to restrain him while his dad tied his hands up.

"They said he was very strong and insisted on staying where they were until police cuffed the burglar.

"At that point they got up and moved away and that's when officers noticed the man was making strange movements.

"On closer examination they saw he was unconscious and didn't appear to be breathing. They tried to revive him but were unsuccessful."

It is understood the trio are "shocked and upset" and are receiving expert counselling after their ordeal.

Mr and Mrs Taylor are keen golfers who retired to Vilamoura to enjoy the area's top golf courses and are believed to have lived in Portugal for around three decades.

Scott Taylor, 31, is understood to be the owner of the property and bought it in 2002.

A post-mortem examination is due to take place to determine the exact cause of the suspect's death.

Police sources said the alleged intruder, a Portuguese man in his twenties who has not been named, was known to them after arrests for robbery.

Under Portuguese law, self-defence is allowed for people to protect their property.

Nevertheless, it must be proportional to the danger that people at the property are under.
