Terroristic Documents Hidden in... Burka?
Apparently, a 41 year old woman, Houria Chahed Chentouf, a mother of six, was accused and charged with two offences of possessing documents related to terroristic activites. After discovering that the documents were obscured inside her Burka, she was sentenced to two years in jail in Manchester, England.
Living for more than 20 years in The Hague, Chentouf was stopped by officers who wanted to do a random interview. While reaching to scratch her leg, court documents state that she 'accidentally' dropped a memory stick with the documents. It's also stated that it was hidden inside her inner sleeve of her burka.
The memory stick, containing approximately 7,000 files, was described by police as "a mini encyclopaedia of weapons designing." In fact, one file was for the "Brothers of the Mujahadeen", which contained a manual in constructing explosives.
In recent internet chat websites, they indicated that she supported martyrdom. Soon after, the court heard that Chentouf suffers from a mental illness, which contributed in her sentence being lower than usual.
Judge Michael Henshell also commented by saying to Chentouf that she had "developed an obsessive interest in jihad and the more extreme forms of Islam."
Do you think this woman intended to pass this information on to others, or was her 'mental illness' causing everything? Let us know your ideas!
there cud be several reasons , so really cnt say anythin
plus, who are we to judge ?
you're not supposed to make use of it, a burka is there not to expose yourself...
not to hide unnecessary things under!
who said ur judging , lol ?
I jus said it so that future comments wont judge ..!
What she had was a USB thumb drive. which she dropped.
I would not consider that concealment and I would suspect many people who keep their personal documents on such a drive to keep it on them as a matter of security.
I cannot see any hidden agenda in that. As for her mindset and aims, this is just a thumb drive and if the information was that important, it could be transferred electronically to the required people with heavy encryption.
I think there is a great chance that her only crime may have been to be a muslim
