Terror suspect charged over Iraq war MPs list
Wednesday 17th November 2010, 9:00AM GMT.
A terror suspect from Wolverhampton has been charged with soliciting murder in connection with a website which allegedly encouraged attacks on pro war MPs.
The man, named for the first time today as Bilal Zaheer Ahmad, is also facing three charges of possession of information likely to be useful for terrorists.
The charges, most of which fall under the Terrorism Act 2000, come a week after the 23-year-old from Dunstall was arrested.
He has been questioned in connection with the RevolutionMuslim.com website, which allegedly incited visitors to attack MPs who voted for the Iraq conflict.
The website, which has now been taken down, was visited by a radicalised student, who was jailed for life earlier this month for stabbing MP Stephen Timms.
It published a list of the 395 MPs who voted for the war and called on Muslims to “raise the knife of jihad” against them.
Computer equipment was seized at Ahmad’s house in Dunstall, but he was arrested at another location outside the city.
West Midlands Police said he was charged at 10pm last night and was appearing at City of Westminster Magistrates Court today.
