Jacques Karim Abi–Ayad fled French, on 09/09/2000 after having stabbed, with two others, an innocent 15-year-old teenager who, according to Jacques Karim Abi–Ayad, committed racist abuse against his family, and entered UK illegally. In 10/2002 he was sentenced in France, in absentia, to life imprisonment.
* Mohammed al-Garbuzi was born in 1956 in Larache, Morocco and is a Muslim cleric. He arrived to UK in 1988 as a political asylum seeker from Morocco. He was implicated by the Moroccan intelligence with the Casablanca Bombings, on 05/16/2003. Mohammed al-Garbuzi was sentenced in Morocco, in absentia, to 20 years in jail in mid 2004.
After the London 7/7 attack Mohammed al-Garbuzi went underground in UK. British MI5 suspected that Mohammed al-Garbuzi was the head of the Moroccan Islamic Combat Group – (CICM) in UK. The French and German intelligence claimed he connected to Abu Qatada and Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Iraq.
On 07/09/2005, two days after the London 7/7 a man with a full scarf appeared in an interview from the London office of the Arabic TV Channel Al-Jazeera. He claimed he is Mohammed al-Garbuzi and said he did not feel persecuted (which contradicted the head scarf). The real identity of the interviewed man was not verified. The Al-Jazeera reporter who interviewed him confirmed it was al-Garbuzi by checking his passport.
