Police have uncovered a large scale fraud at a
mosque in Birmingham. Mohammed Rachid, one of the leaders
of the mosque, was believed to be redirecting charitable funds
into bank accounts for his own use, and is due to be deported
later this month.

Parkmount mosque was also attended by two men who have
died in an explosion near a school in central Birmingham.
No-one else was hurt and police are not looking for anyone
else in connection with the incident.

The team suspected that Parkmount mosque had been taken
over by extremists lead by Mohammed Rachid. They had found
a young agent, Johnny, and sent him in in an attempt to find
out what was being planned. Johnny was quickly uncovered and
brutally tortured. But he did manage to discover that the
mosque had a 鈥渘est of angels鈥, a group of young
men being trained to sacrifice themselves as suicide bombers.
They needed to know more, but couldn鈥檛 do anything unless
they could find a suitable agent. |
Ruth Evershed began a secondment from GCHQ, and quickly
made her mark by discovering a crack Algerian agent had turned
up at Scotland Yard. Harry takes a risk, and decided to trust
Ibhn Khaldun and offer a passport in return for his help.
He was set up with all the gadgets he might need, but he threw
them away and failed to turn up to the arranged meetings.
Tom began to fear they鈥檇 been tricked. |
Inside the mosque Khaldun told Rachid that he鈥檇
come to help the cause. He told them he鈥檇 infiltrated
MI5 and gave them money. Tom鈥檚 suspicions looked like
they were right. Then as Tom slept he had a surprise visit
from Khaldun. He was under constant watch at the mosque, and
this was the only time he could pass on information. He warned
Tom that the first suicide bomb attack was planned for the
following day. Tom wanted to rush in with special branch,
but Khaldun wanted time to persuade the boy that he was making
a mistake. |
The following day, after Khaldun and the suicide bomber
had set off, Tom burst into the mosque and arrested Rachid
on suspicion of fraud. The suicide bomber had positioned himself
in a school playground, but the area was clear, and Khaldun
seemed to be successfully persuading the boy not to ignite
the bomb. But he misjudged and the boy ignited the bomb. Seeing
what was happening, Khaldun threw himself at the boy to try
and stop him, but sacrificed himself in the process. |
