An Islamic extremist admitted trying to behead Fusilier Lee Rigby because ‘the most humane way to kill any creature is to cut the jugular’, a court heard yesterday.

Michael Adebolajo, 28, said he drove his car into Mr Rigby before he sawed his neck and then ‘attempted to remove his head’, the jury was told.

During a series of police interviews which were played to the Old Bailey yesterday, Adebolajo said he and his accomplice Michael Adebowale, 22, waited near Woolwich Barracks for a soldier to appear.

Sidra Fatima faces jail after conning seven men out of £35,000 after posing as a potential bride on a dating website

A honey trap conwoman posing as a potential bride-to-be on a dating website swindled seven men out of £35,000.

Sidra Fatima snared seven men on Asian marriage site Shaadi.com, posing as a willing and available bride ‘looking for someone who knows the meaning of love’.

But the 33-year-old scarpered with the men’s money and gifts they lavished on her before going through with their arrangement.

Fatima was already married and set up the scam with husband Raja Haider Ali, 45, who pretended to be her cousin or brother-in-law when he came face-to-face with their victims.

Claiming to be divorced and the mother of a child, Fatima described herself on the site as ‘simple and sincere’.

She added that she was a ‘simple person learning from life and finding myself, looking for someone who knows the meaning of love, someone who can touch my soul’.

In each case, Fatima arranged to meet the victim and in some instances his family while husband Ali, posing as a male relative, accompanied her.

Following their first meeting, she would agree to marriage, insisting the victim handed over money to pay for the wedding.

Prosecutor John Harrison told the jury at Bradford Crown Court the men had each stumped up a dowrie of around £5,000 each.

He said Fatima then demanded gifts for the wedding in addition to the money.

Al-Qaeda made £50million from ransoms in three years, says British UN ambassador, as he urges Security Council to demand such payments stop

  • Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant is calling for ban on ransom payments
  • He wants UN security council to sign a resolution outlawing the deals
  • Top UN diplomat says ransom money is now major part of al Qaeda income

Mark Lyall-Grant, British ambassador to the U.N, is calling for members of the Security Council to sign a resolution banning the payment of ransomsMark Lyall-Grant, British ambassador to the U.N, is calling for members of the Security Council to sign a resolution banning the payment of ransoms

Terrorist cell al-Qaeda has made £50million in ransom payments from kidnaps in the last three years, according to the British UN ambassador.

Mark Lyall Grant, the UK Government’s representative in New York, revealed the shocking statistic as he attempts to persuade members of the United Nations security council to sign up to a blanket ban on the deals.

His claims were backed up by a top UN diplomat who said that ransom payments were now the biggest source of income for Northern Africa’s al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and al-Qaida in the Arabian peninsula.

Mr Lyall Grant is now urging member states to sign a resolution which calls on all countries not to pay ransom to kidnappers who use the money to finance terrorist groups.

The Ambassador circulated a draft resolution to the council on Tuesday calling on the 193 nations to ‘prevent terrorists from benefiting directly or indirectly from ransom payments.’

A U.N. resolution adopted weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States already bans all countries from financing terrorism.

But Lyall Grant said the proposed new resolution highlights ‘the increasing threat’ from kidnapping for ransom to benefit terrorists.

He said: ‘We want to make it much more difficult for terrorists to benefit from this sort of financing.’

Lyall Grant hopes the Security Council of 15 members will approve the resolution this month.

The British resolution follows up on the communique issued by leaders of eight major industrial powers at their summit in Northern Ireland in June.

Identified: Sergeant Alexander Blackman has been revealed as the Royal Marine who was last month convicted a murdering an Afghan insurgent

The identity of the Royal Marine who executed a wounded Taliban prisoner was revealed yesterday, sparking a massive outpouring of support.

Sergeant Alexander Blackman, 39, is a decorated war hero with a record of selfless courage on tours of duty in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.

At the time he killed the badly-wounded insurgent in Afghanistan in September 2011, he was still mourning the death of his father.

Blackman, who is married and from Taunton, Somerset, faces life in prison when he is sentenced today. He was finally named yesterday after losing a year-long legal battle to keep his identity secret.

He is the first British soldier convicted of murder on active service abroad since the Second World War.

Last night the publication of his name following a High Court ruling led to a wave of calls for leniency and a special Facebook page being set up to back him.

His family, friends and comrades urged the sentencing court to show mercy.

The decision to name Blackman means it can now be revealed that in 2001 he was involved in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks on the US.

And Blackman escaped death in Iraq when a rocket-propelled grenade fired by an enemy fighter struck his rucksack.
