Who cab accurately know the mind of a person, except that person and the their god whom they have given access to their thoughts and imagination?
We are rightly shocked when a rabid man, for no apparent purpose, planned and armed himself with available weapons.
And made his way to the British capital, London, and began to slaughter innocent citizens who, like him, were attending a seminar.
Probably few, if any of the participants of the learning exercise, were or would have been aware that, counted amongst them, was Usman Khan.
A convicted terrorist who had served half of his 16 year sentence before he was released last year.
On can begin to imagine how Khan had benefited from some of the circumstances surrounding his conviction and his successful appeal in getting his initially higher sentence reduced to 16 year.
With a reported stipulation that he be released from Prison after he had served half of it.
He had benefited from the fact that he was the youngest member of the group of people charged and convicted for planning to blow up the London Stock Exchange.
He was also the youngest member of the group, and he had, at some point since, denied that he was a terrorist, citing having been born in Stoke-on-Trent.
To be continued!
