Fiancée of terror plot leader jailed for helping him escape in a burka

Fiancée of terror plot leader jailed for helping him escape in a burka

The fiancée of one of the leaders of the failed July 21 suicide attacks in London has been sentenced to three years in jail for helping him escape in a burka.

Fardosa Abdullahi gave her fiance her mobile phone handset, provided a scarf and handbag for his disguise and accompanied him to Golders Green coach station where he fled to Birmingham dressed as a woman
.

I would question the custodial sentence for minor infringements, also the length of the sentence. Is she a risk to the public? Aren't our jails already too overcrowded without adding to it unnecessarily?

I heard this on the car radio coming down today, and I must admit I was struck by the severity of it.
Now I wonder if she would have got the same if she was white & middle class?

Bill are you suggesting that if white or middle classed people (of any colour) assisted in the escape of a terror plot leader, should only get a slap on the wrist?

And John, build more prisons!

You people are insane. Three years is not severe for helping a terrorist escape.

Her act could have led to the deaths of many people.
