Man admits using internet to urge jihad

A third British-based man today admitted using the internet to spread extremist propaganda and urge Muslims to wage international holy war.

Tariq Al-Daour, of Bayswater, west London, admitted inciting people to commit terrorism against "kuffars" - non-believers - in the UK and abroad, Woolwich crown court heard.

The court, in south-east London, was told that 21-year-old Al-Daour, Younes Tsouli and Waseem Mughal had close links with al-Qaida in Iraq and believed there was a "global conspiracy" to wipe out Islam.

The three - described as "intelligent" and "adept" with computers - spent at least a year trying to encourage people to follow the extreme ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites.

Islamist trio admit using internet to incite jihad

Three Islamist "cyber-terrorists" have admitted urging British Muslims to wage violent holy war against all non-believers.

Tariq al-Daour today joined Younes Tsouli and Waseem Mughal in pleading guilty to inciting terrorism at Woolwich Crown Court, claiming that global jihad against "kuffars" was necessary to combat a worldwide conspiracy to wipe out Islam.

The “intelligent” young men who were “adept” at using computers, spent at least a year trying to encourage people to follow the extreme ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites, the court was told.

Films of hostages and beheadings were found among their belongings during police searches, including footage of Kenneth Bigley pleading for his life and Americans Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl being killed, the jury heard.
