Jabron was killed almost exactly a year after the 7/7 bombings in London, which had increased fear of home-grown fanatics in Britain. Only seven months after he died, the police managed to foil an attempt by predominantly British Pakistanis to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier. If anything, Jabron’s death inspired them. This week Mohammed Emwazi, a British Muslim adopted by this country as a young man, just like Jabron and I were, has been unmasked as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) executioner “Jihadi John”.

Sir Cliff Richard: Lawyers hit out at MP's disclosures - Telegraph
"There was ample time to properly consider whether the SYP letter ought to have been released before it actually was. Mr Benaim continued: "Our client had no opportunity to comment or make submissions to the committee in advance of publication, but had he been able to do so, the damage that has since been caused by the Committee's actions and by the SYP letter would, most likely, have been avoided. "It is the committee who have acted as enablers to the media so that they could report on claims of new allegations about which our client has been given no or very little information; about which he has yet to be questioned; for which he has not been arrested; and of course, over which he has not been charged. Sir Cliff was questioned last August after information was passed to South Yorkshire Police relating to alleged incident assault on a young boy which was said to have taken place in Sheffield in 1985.

Nemtsov a possible 'sacrificial victim,' investigators say
Maybe it was Islamic extremists who killed Boris Nemtsov. Or agents of a Western power that will stop at nothing to disfigure President Vladimir Putin's image and drive him from power. Russian investigators, politicians and political commentators on state television on Saturday covered much ground in looking for the reason Nemtsov was gunned down in the heart of Moscow, but they sidestepped one possibility — that he was murdered for his relentless opposition to Putin.
