Three Muslim inmates attack UK jail warden



LONDON: Ripples from last Wednesday's explosive Woolwich murder of soldier Lee Rigby have now been felt in one of Britain's maximum-security prisons.

Three jailed Islamic extremists in Full Sutton prison in East Yorkshire carried out a brutal attack on a warder after an imam reportedly called on them to pray for Rigby. The trio snatched the warder from the high-security prison and held him hostage for four hours, beating him to a pulp.The victim, who is in his thirties, was locked in a cleaning room where he was beaten with mop handles.




He was told by the three attackers that they he would die. By the time the attack ended around 8 pm on Sunday, when armed guards barged in to rescue the officer, he had serious injuries, a broken jaw and was covered in bruises and blood. He has been discharged from hospital.

A female colleague who was involved in rescuing the victim also suffered injuries.

The North East Counter Terrorism Unit, which is investigating the attack, said two of the suspects were aged 25 and the other 26. Officers said the vicious attack was sparked by a simple call from the prison imam to pray for drummer Lee. The ringleader of the attack was left outraged by the call. He felt the 25-year-old's murder was justified. Joined by two fellow Muslims, an African-born inmate and a British convert, they kidnapped the guard and set upon him.

"The ringleader wanted to start a riot," prison officers said. "After taking a hostage he was shouting for 'true Muslims' to join a holy war."
