Extremist with ISIS propaganda arrested at primary school told teacher she would burn in hell

An extremist who was arrested at a primary school told a teacher that she was an ‘infidel’ and would ‘burn in hell’.

Atiq Ahmed, from Oldham, was also found to have issues of an Islamic State propaganda magazine on a tablet computer.

The material came to light after Ahmed was arrested following an incident at Werneth Primary School in Oldham in October last year, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Staff saw Ahmed, 35, was seen talking to children near the entrance of the school Manchester Evening News reports.

At first they thought he was a parent, but Ahmed became aggressive when questioned by a teacher.

He then shouted at the teacher, saying: “You are an infidel. You are going to burn in hell.

“You are a kafir (a derogatory term referring to non-Muslims).”

Ahmed was arrested and after police found Islamist material on his phone, they raided his home in Copster Hill Road.

The 35-year-old, who was previously jailed for terrorism offences, has now been sent down again.

A tablet was recovered which included a number of issues of Rumiyah magazine, described by prosecutor Jonathan Polnay as a ‘practical guide for committing terrorist acts’.

Material in the magazine included how to conduct lone wolf knife attacks, the most effective car to use for terrorist attacks, how to carry out arson attacks and the best way to take a hostage.

It also included advice on how to to cause maximum injury through terror, and how to ensure they would be credited to Islamic State.

“These are matters that have been put into action by those that support Islamic State,” Mr Polnay said.

After being arrested, Ahmed admitted downloading the magazines but said he was using them for research into Islamic history.

Ahmed strongly denied that he was a terrorist.
