Three British Muslims including a convert to Islam were jailed on Thursday for travelling to Pakistan for terror training. White Muslim convert Richard Dart, a 30-year-old former security guard for the BBC, was sentenced to six years' imprisonment at the Old Bailey central criminal court in London. Imran Mahmood, 22, was jailed for nine years and nine months and 26-year-old Jahangir Alom for four-and-a-half years.
Dart and Alom had admitted seeking terror training in Pakistan while Mahmood, who did join a Pakistani terror camp, gave them advice. Judge Peregrine Simon told the trio they had "radical Islamist beliefs and have shown yourselves to be committed to acts of terrorism". Dart refused to stand as he was sentenced, saying: "I believe ruling and judging is only for Allah." The court heard that Dart and Mahmood discussed bomb-making and identified the southern English town of Royal Wootton Bassett - where British soldiers killed in Afghanistan were repatriated until 2011 - as a potential target.
