Dirty Bomber Gets Beatdown In Prison
I guess prisoners have some morals. Hopefully; it happens again.
An al-Qaeda plotter who planned to kill thousands of people in the UK and US in "dirty bombings" has been badly injured in an attack by fellow prison inmates.
Dhiren Barot, 35, from Kingsbury in north-west London, had been serving life at HMP Frankland near Durham.
He spent five days in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary after the assault.

At his trial at Woolwich Crown Court Barot was described as a determined terrorist who prepared meticulous plans for al-Qaeda figures on a series of synchronised attacks in the UK.
These included exploding gas tankers hidden in limousines, flooding the tube network and a radioactive "dirty bomb".
He was jailed for life, with a recommendation that he serve a minimum of 40 years, but this was reduced to 30 years following an appeal.
