Muslim Former British Airways Employee Jailed For Jihad Plot Whines That He Can't Use Skype From Prison

It seems unbelievable that the Muslim terrorist Rajib Karim would even think that he had a legitimate complaint about not being able to use Skype while in prison for plotting to murder hundreds of kaffirs, but why not? After all, he was able to get a job at British Airways and start plotting to plant a bomb on a plane. Why wouldn't he think that the infidel authorities were clueless and soft, and would give him whatever he demanded?

Terrorist: Former BA computer expert Rajib Karim has lodged an official complaint that he is not allowed to use Skype to contact friends from prison

An islamic terrorist who plotted to blow up a passenger jet has complained that he is not allowed to use Skype to make low-cost phone calls from jail.

Rajib Karim, 32, wants to use the system, which offers cheap international calls from phones as well as free video link-ups, to contact friends and family in Bangladesh.

But officials at maximum security HMP Frankland in Durham barred the move saying it would pose a serious security risk.

One source said: ‘This guy planned on killing hundreds of people.

'He is a former British Airways software engineer who knows a lot about computers and telecommunications.

'The last thing he should be given access to is a computer or method of free communication.’

Karim was jailed for 30 years last year after being found guilty of planning a 9/11-style terror attack with former Al Qaeda warlord Anwar al-Awlaki.

The father-of-two claims using a prison payphone costs him too much money.

In a letter written to Inside Time, a newspaper for prisoners, he said: 'The international call rates cost a lot using the prison PIN system and the Skype option looked like a perfect solution.

'The best part was that it was legal and no breach of prison rules as the call was made to a direct number and was not being redirected.

'But when I recently tried making my first call I was told by staff here at HMP Frankland that I am not allowed to make any calls through Skype.'

He said he 'tried to explain' how other prisons in the UK reportedly allow inmates to use the service, but said: "The response was a firm "no" as HMP Frankland is part of the high security estate.'

Karim's complaint has been passed on to the National Offender Management Service (NOMS).

He was imprisoned for 30 years last year after Woolwich Crown Court heard he wanted to use his position at British Airways to plant a bomb on a plane as part of a 'chilling' conspiracy with Anwar Al-Awlaki, a notorious radical preacher associated with Al Qaeda.
