Jihadists who plotted Stock Exchange terror with London Bridge killer Usman Khan are back on the street
THE ringleader of the terror plot that first saw London Bridge attacker Usman Khan convicted is also back on Britain’s streets, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
Mohammad Shahjahan, 34, and his key lieutenant Nazam Hussain, 33, were both jailed indefinitely for their roles in the evil plan in 2012.
They got fixed terms of 17 and 16 years on appeal.
Both are understood to have been automatically released halfway into their sentences — meaning the three key players in the plot were free.
Khan "hoodwinked" authorities by travelling to the prisoner rehabilitation conference at Fishmongers' Hall where he launched his horror rampage on Friday.
One academic who was there told that Khan "suddenly just flipped".
The others are believed to still be in jail.
Omar Sharif Latif, 35, got ten years, four months in 2012 plus five more on extended licence. Gurukanth Desai, 37, was locked up for 12 years.
'LYNCHPIN' IN THE TERROR GANG
His brother, 33-year-old Abdul Miah was jailed for 16 years and ten months.
Mohammed Chowdhury, 29, who was described as a “lynchpin” in the terror gang at the 2012 trial, had boasted about launching a “Mumbai-style” attack at the Houses of Parliament.
Fellow London-based plotter Shah Mohammed Rahman, 35, was also caged for 12 years.
Mohibur Rahman, 35, from Stoke-on-Trent was released from jail after being given a five-year sentence for the 2012 bomb plot
But in 2017 he was jailed again with two other Islamists, who called themselves The Three Musketeers, for planning another terror outrage.
PREACHER’S HATE GANG
USMAN Khan was a student and “personal friend” of hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
He spent years preaching on stalls linked to al-Muhajiroun, the banned terror group once led by Choudary. Other notorious associates of the the radical cleric include:
Siddhartha Dhar, a salesman turned alleged IS executioner, dubbed Jihadi Sid. An aide to Choudary, he is thought to have been killed by a drone strike in Syria.
Omar Bakri Muhammad, a hate preacher who founded al- Muhajiroun in 1990s and was banned from the UK in 2005.
Michael Adebolajo got life for the 2013 murder of Fusillier Lee Rigby. Was a member of Choudary’s Al-Muhajiroun.
Brustholm Ziamani was converted by Choudary to radical Islam. Caught in London in 2015 with knife and hammer looking for a soldier to kill and jailed.
Dr Mirza Tariq Ali, an NHS doctor was a close associate of Choudary. Fled to Pakistan to become key Taliban member. Reportedly died in a drone strike.
