OLDHAM COUPLE GUILTY OF PLOTTING ATTACKS
AGAINST JEWS
 A woman from Oldham Shasta Khan, 38, has been found guilty, on Thursday 07/19/2012, of helping her husband Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, plan an attack on Bury's Jewish community (see also - Itbah Al-Yahud). Shasta Khan, a serial bride who already has an 18-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, met and married her third husband Sajid Khan through a Muslim dating site named ''Single Muslim'' because she was looking to marry the ''Islamic way'', in 07/2010, just three days after they met and they enjoyed a honeymoon in Turkey.Shasta Khan ditched her Westernised and ''chilled out'' lifestyle in favour of strict traditional Islamic dress, stopped watching her favourite TV shows like Coronation Street and Eastenders and tuned into terrorist propaganda on the internet instead. But by July 2011 the relationship was suffering real problems. When a "serious row" developed Mohammed Sajid Khan left home to go back to his parents' house in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Two days later he returned but there was more trouble between the husband and wife and her family, resulting in him assaulting his father-in-law.When the police called to the address in Foster Street to deal with the domestic dispute, one of Shasta Khan's brothers told them: "We have something that I think might be interesting to you, I think he's a home-grown terrorist," Miss Bobbie Cheema, the prosecutor ,told the jury. during the trial (see also - U.K'S THREAT). In a search in their home in Oldham Police discovered a cache of terror-related material. It included a beheading video from 2004 of British hostage Kenneth Bigley being beheaded in Iraq (see also - Loai al-Saqa), propaganda glorifying Osama Bin Laden, and bomb-making guides. Peroxide and bleach, used by Shasta Khan in her work as a hairdresser, could have been used to make an improvised explosive device (IED), the court heard. e of the most significant finds at the couple's house was a plastic bag from an electrical shop that contained electrical wires, Christmas tree lights, bulbs and a battery. Police also found an article from an Al Qaeda magazine entitled "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom" offered a step-by-step guide, from how to get ingredients without raising suspicion, to building a bomb, incorporating the use of Christmas lights (see - Inspire-Recipes). The jury was told that IED ingredients listed in the guide matched the items found at the defendant's home.Miss Cheema, told the court the couple had become "radicalised by material found on the internet such as an Al Qaeda magazine called Inspire" (see - INSPIRE MAGAZINE). Their sat-nav showed they had been on multiple trips to Jewish areas around Greater Manchester, mainly Prestwich. They did not achieve the production of a functioning bomb and did not have the final ability to carry out the attack but they looked at possible locations for an attack, Miss Cheema said.Shasta Khan denied being involved with Mohammed Sajid Khan's plans to attack Bury's Jewish community. She was found guilty of engaging in preparation for terrorism and two counts of possessing information useful for terrorism. Mohammed Sajid Khan pleaded guilty to the charges at an earlier hearing. The jury cleared Sajid Khan of a third charge of possessing information useful for committing or preparing for an act of terrorism.Both were sentenced, on Friday 07/20/2012, to 8 years in jail.
