Terrorists Inside UK Prisons Teaching Inmates How to Make Bombs, Study Reveals

by Richard Eldred
7 July 2025 9:00 AM

A shocking new study reveals terrorists in British prisons are teaching gangsters how to make bombs. LBC has the story.

In exchange for the information, extremist inmates are being taught by gang members how to launder money, navigate the dark web and acquire weapons potentially usable in terror plots.

The findings come amid growing alarm over the emergence of Islamist gangs within the prison system following violent incidents involving prison staff. …

The study found that terrorists are learning illicit financial skills to more effectively fund their operations, while gang members and organised criminals are learning how to construct powerful new weapons for use against their adversaries.

Based on interviews with prison officers, former governors, counter-terrorism officials and inmates, the research indicates that the separation between terrorists and other prisoners is starting to erode.

The study warns that failing to detect and intervene in these interactions could enable dangerous alliances to grow unchecked, both within prisons and in the wider community.

Dr Hannah Bennett, the author of the study, told the Telegraph: “Some prisoners are coming out knowing how to make a bomb. Others are learning how to use the dark web or commit financial crime. For many, it’s about protection – but it’s also about opportunity.” …

Dr Bennett warned that the environments where this type of crossover is most likely to happen are high-security prisons, particularly where corruption, violence and inadequate oversight are present. …

The report calls for an urgent reform of prison intelligence strategy, including improved staff training, a clear operational definition of the threat and an assessment tool to identify high-risk jails.

Worth reading in full.

This is an example of how marvellously excellent our rulers are – after all, the authorities wouldn’t want to interfere with anyone’s “human right” to learn how to kill us. How exquisitely marvellous our rulers are.

I can’t believe there is nothing regarding this in the Round-Up. It’s an anniversary, but a very unpleasant one. This is the only person who survived 7/7 in his carriage;

“On July 7, 2005, Daniel “Dan” Biddle, then a 26-year-old construction project manager, became the most seriously injured survivor of the 7/7 London terrorist attacks.

“He was standing just inches from suicide bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan on a Circle Line Underground train near Edgware Road station when Khan detonated a bomb at 8:51 AM.

“The explosion was part of four coordinated suicide bombings that day, which killed 52 people and injured over 770 across London’s public transport system.Biddle was blown through the train doors into the tunnel, suffering catastrophic injuries.

“He lost both legs, his left eye, his spleen, and was deafened in one ear. He also sustained a collapsed lung, punctured organs (including his kidney, liver, and colon), burns, an open forehead wound, and sepsis.

“During the aftermath, he endured three cardiac arrests, with surgeons manually pumping his heart for nearly 15 minutes during the last one. He was saved by Adrian Heili, a former Austrian army medic, who applied makeshift tourniquets to stop Biddle’s bleeding and kept him conscious by talking about sports until paramedics arrived.
“Biddle spent eight weeks in a coma, 12 weeks in intensive care, and a year in hospital, undergoing over 70 operations.The blast left him with vivid memories of the explosion’s white flash, the silence that followed, and the horrific scenes of death and destruction around him.

“He has since battled complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), experiencing daily flashbacks, nightmares, and hallucinations of Khan’s face. In 2013, overwhelmed by survivor’s guilt and PTSD, Biddle attempted suicide three times but was supported by his then-girlfriend, now-wife, Gem, whom he met that year and married later.

“Despite his injuries, Biddle retrained as an access consultant, founded the National Diversity Employment and Advisory Service Ltd. in 2022 to support disabled and neurodivergent people into employment, and became a motivational speaker.

“He represented Team GB in sitting volleyball at the 2012 Paralympics and was appointed an MBE. He has also campaigned for a public inquiry into the 7/7 attacks, believing there were inadequacies in British security services, and published a book, Back From The Dead: The Untold Story of the 7/7 Bombings, to share his story.

“He now lives in Abergavenny, Wales, with Gem, continuing to advocate for disability equality and inclusion.”

An exceptional man.”

This is hardly news, criminals learning new criminal skills in prison. I had just assumed that’s what has always gone on in prisons. I mean, we learn from our environment and the people around us, so…go figure.

In the El Salvador mega-prison, they wouldn’t have any time or opportunity to do that, nor would they have a chance to attack prison officers with boiling water or sharpened kitchen utensils. Here is an article showing what a dangerous, treasonous policy it is to allow them into the Armed Forces of the West:

Muslim soldiers are dismissed from the Army after sharing graphic helmet-cam videos of murdered victims after Hamas October 7 attacks | Daily Mail Online

As one commenter said, “Scratch the surface and underneath is a terrorist-in-waiting.”

Remember what the Bible says:

“NEVER LET THE ENEMY INTO THE CAMP.”
