Prisoner 'throws boiling oil' over terrorist leader who plotted to murder thousands with dirty bombs
Source: Daily Mail (UK)

A prisoner has been accused of throwing boiling oil over an al Qaida terrorist who planned to murder thousands with dirty bombs.

The 22-year-old inmate is accused of scarring for life Dhiren Barot, who was jailed for life for leading a British-based terrorist cell that plotted bombings across the world.

After the alleged attack, which left Barot, 35, with excruciating burns, a news blackout was imposed to protect medical staff from possible attack while he was treated at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.

A Durham Police spokesman said today in a statement: "A prison inmate from Sunderland has been charged with an assault at Durham's top security Frankland Jail this year.

"The victim, a 35-year-old Category A prisoner, suffered burns to his body and face in the alleged attack on July 6.

1. I thought such treatment was reserved for child molesters.

4. Read again, Oil - not water. And I really can't find any reason to
justify that kind of cruel attack. I hope the guy that did it gets life.

9. Well that sort of activity is considered extra-judicial
and hence punishable under the law - as it should be.

11. Then you are supporting the violation of law and crimes, including assault,
possibly aggravated assault, and attempted murder.

He could have been shanked instead of burned.


Anyone who would setoff a bomb inside a bus or a pizza parlor or nightclub gets ZERO sympathy from me.

8. Most likely it happened in the prison kitchen
as they don't hire cooks to cook the food for them they make the prisoners cook it themselves thus access is not exactly hard to imagine.
As for the guy who poured it I agree with the above person about the guy deserving a life in prison if he has not already gotten such a sentence without parole as it is not and was not his place to commit such an act for any reason.
