It's also safe to assume that the popcorn that the popcorn tub had been purchased before throwing it everywhere, unlike the milk.

A would-be suicide bomber and his wife have been found guilty of planning an attack in London to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 7 July 2005 suicide attacks.

Mohammed Rehman, 25, who secretly wed Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 atrocities with blasts that would have inflicted mass casualties in either Westfield shopping centre, west London, or the London Underground, the Old Bailey was told.

After three days of deliberations, a jury on Tuesday found the pair guilty of preparing an act of terrorism. Rehman was also convicted of possessing an article for terrorist purposes.

Using the alias �Silent Bomber� on Twitter, Rehman asked his followers in May for suggestions about which target to choose. �Westfield shopping centre or London underground?� Rehman asked. �Any advice would be appreciated greatly.� The post carried a link to an al-Qaida media release about the 7/7 bombings.

With �14,000 he obtained from his wife, he purchased 10kg of urea nitrate to construct an explosive device at his parents� home in Reading and even filmed himself detonating a small charge in his back garden.

Rehman was said to have been only days away from assembling the bomb when he was arrested on 28 May by anti-terror police, after an undercover investigator spotted his tweet about potential targets.

Tony Badenoch QC, prosecuting, told the jury that the couple shared a �common interest� in violent, jihadi ideology and had repeatedly researched the history of the 7/7 bombers.

They had a keen interest in Islamic State and Rehman�s online research showed he �wished to play his own part�. One online post used a profile picture of Jihadi John.

The same day, he trawled YouTube for details about the London bombings and the �martyrdom� video of Shehzad Tanweer, one of the 7/7 bombers whom he referred to as his �beloved predecessor�. Rehman also told a Twitter user: �Why don�t you head to the London Underground on the 7th July if you got the balls.�

The undercover investigator engaged Rehman in a private conversation in which the defendant subsequently asked him �how dumb these Kuffar [non-Muslims] are lol�.

Rehman confided that he was preparing to die and asked the officer if he wanted to join him or go the �lone wolf route�. Jurors were told his intentions could not have been clearer when he tweeted: �Now I just make explosives in preparation for kuffar lol and when I�ve made the required amount I�ll be wearing them on my chest.�

When approached by police, Rehman fled to a nearby Co-op store where � despite trying to kick and punch his way out � he was detained by armed officers. He insisted there was nothing dangerous in his home, but searches recovered a hunting knife and chemicals for a bomb.

In a police interview, Rehman admitted making and testing explosives but denied intending to harm anyone. He claimed he had used Twitter to draw attention to himself in the hope he would be arrested and put in custody.

Khan, who studied at Greenwich University, refused to answer questions from police but admitted having conversations with Rehman about Isis and jihad. She denied knowing about his Twitter activities.

The couple had known each other for 10 years, but she kept their Islamic marriage a secret from her family as they did not approve of Rehman, who was divorced. Each of them lived with their own parents in Reading.

Both denied wrongdoing but refused to give evidence. Rehman and Khan showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out but she glanced up to the public gallery as they were led off to the cells.

This is some Four Lions poo poo right here.

Must be all that Miller Lite. Seriously, what the gently caress counts as 'affluent' in Texas? If there is true justice, the entire family should be sent up the river. The whole family sounds like pieces of poo poo that have bribed countless members of the community. Added bonus is if an investigation was opened up on that judge that suddenly retired after Miller Lite Boy got a smack on the wrist.

I want to think that the cell phones were kept because this loser and his lovely family really thought they were above the law. That's not just stupidity, that's arrogance mixed with stupidity.

No, they're all innocent, it was that girl who needed a tampon's fault.

quote:

She watched as the boys got in. Two up front. Two in the backseat. Two in the bed.Garrett reassured her that he�d seen Ethan drive like this plenty of times before. He sat in the back with the door open, inviting her in.

She chokes up as she talks about it. Looking back, she feels like the whole thing is her fault. The only reason they were in the truck that night was to get her a tampon. �Garrett told me, �It�ll be fine,� � she says. �And I got in.�

The conviction came from a juvenile court, so he's limited to juvenile sentencing. They can jail him til his 19th birthday in April unless there's some serious legal wrangling beyond the ken of mortal men at play here.

That's not really how it works. His original sentence was 10 years which would have taken him well past 19 anyway. Violating the probation means he's probably going to end up with the remainder of those 10 years. He'll just be transferred to an adult facility once he ages out of the juvenile facility(I think Texas only houses juvenile offenders until 17 anyway so he's probably going to go to real prison as soon as they institute the sentence).

I was very excited for this because it opened with every element needed for some dank freude: nighttime, big storm, expensive boats, waves crashing over the dock, no handrails, one hand taken up with camera, etc. It could go so many different places, all beautiful.
