A «dangerous liar», is how the British media call Umar Ahmed Haque, a 25-year-old Muslim teacher who has attempted to create an «army of children». He has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years, reports the BBC on Tuesday.
The accused used guns and car bombs with the objective of targeting about thirty sites in the UK, including the Big Ben. He was also planning to attack the Royal Guard, public transportation means, Shia Muslims, Westfield shopping centers and the parliament.
In addition to that, the teacher made 16 students read ISIS propaganda at the Ripple Road Mosque in Barking, located in London.
Quoted by the BBC, Mr. Justice Haddon-Cave said the individual represented a «very real threat». He indicated that Haque «wanted to do something big and his ambition was extreme and alarming».
Brainwashing these children, he was intending to create a «mini-militia», unbeknown to parents who were paying him for after-school classes at the mosque.
One of the children told the police that Umar was teaching them how to fight, do push-ups and «have strength,» said the same source adding : «He wants a group of 300 men. He's training us now so by the time I'm in Year 10 (aged 14-15) we will be physically strong enough to fight».
