UK: Fearing Another Beheading, Riot Squad Frees Prison Guard After Crazed Muslim Prisoners Attack, Take Guard Hostage

For peaceful purposes. They were offended at the thought of ever praying for the soul of any infidel, let alone one who was the victim of a “justified” beheading …

Mirror – “Prison staff feared their colleague, locked in a room and being attacked by crazed extremists, was facing the same gruesome death as murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

Leading the thugs was al-Qaeda fanatic Parviz Khan, serving life for plotting to behead a Muslim member of the Army – and thought to be the inspiration for last week’s horrific slaughter.

The terrified officer, in his 30s, was finally freed by a specialist riot squad who stormed the room where he was held for five hours and beaten mercilessly by the extremists, who told him he would die.

And the vicious assault was sparked by a simple call from a prison imam to pray for drummer Lee who was ­butchered in the street last week near his barracks in ­Woolwich, South East London.

Khan flew into a rage at the request, insisting the 25-year-old’s murder was justified.

Recruiting two fellow Muslims, an African-born fanatic and a British convert, they kidnapped the guard on Sunday and bundled him into a cleaning room at Full Sutton jail near York.

Once inside, he was battered senseless with mop handles. The yobs threatened to pour caustic toilet cleaner into his eyes.

A prison source said last night: ‘The fear was that the gang had somehow got hold of knives from the prison kitchen and they would attempt to behead him.

‘It was organised and inspired by the terrible death of Lee Rigby. Khan wanted to start a riot and after taking a hostage he was shouting for ‘true Muslims’ to join a holy war.

‘He was the ringleader and the main person behind the savage beating of the prison officer, who feared for his life.

‘By the time the attack finished the officer was covered in bruises and blood.

‘He feels very lucky to be alive. He was told they would kill him.'” Read more.
