THE Dirty Bomb plotter was last night fighting for his life after fellow prisoners doused him with boiling oil and water. Dhiren Barot, 35, is in intensive care with third degree burns after the attack in Frankland jail, Durham. Inmates had previously made several death threats against Barot. He is serving 30 years for plotting to plant radioactive, chemical or toxic gas bombs and pack limousines with nails and explosives in the UK and America. Al-Qaeda mastermind Barot had been moved from Belmarsh jail, South East London, after fears for his safety. He was arrested in August 2004 and accused of conspiracy to murder. He admitted planning to bomb several targets including the New York Stock Exchange, the International Monetary Fund HQ, and the World Bank. Barot, who recruited other bomb plotters, was sentenced to life in prison last November. It was recommended he serve 40 years but that was cut to 30 years on appeal in May. Barot was born in India then moved to Kenya with his family. They came to England in 1973 and his banker father had to work in a factory to support them. Hindu Barot converted to Islam aged 20. He later travelled to Pakistan for al-Qaeda training and funding. |
