Three jailed for helping terrorists

12 April 2012

Three men have been jailed for sending equipment to terrorists fighting British soldiers on the Afghan and Pakistan border.

Mohammed Nadim, 29, was jailed for three years and Shahid Ali, 34, and Shabir Mohammed, 30, were sent to prison for two years and four months.

They pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to supplying equipment such as computer parts, mobile phones and camping gear, to terrorists abroad.

A fourth man, Abdul Raheem, 32, pleaded guilty to failing to disclose information on terrorism and was jailed for a year.

The four, all from Birmingham, were members of a terror cell run by Parviz Khan who was jailed for life last year for plotting to kidnap and behead a soldier.

They helped Khan sent four shipments containing 86 boxes of supplies between April 2006 and February 2007.

But Nadim, of Denville Crescent, Bordesley Green; Ali, of Bromford Lane, Ward End; and Mohammed, of Benton Road, Sparkhill, were said to have known nothing of Khan's plot to kill a soldier in the UK.

Raheem, of Johnson Close, Ward End, knew about the shipments but failed to tip off the police.

A new convert to Islam, he was formerly called Antonio Edmondson. He was said to be eager to be accepted into the community in Birmingham.
