Faisal faced terror trials twice in UK

Star Report
British citizen and chief of UK-based NGO Green Crescent Dr Faisal Mostafa, cleared twice of terrorist bomb plot charges in 1996 and 2002 in the UK, had been sentenced to four years' imprisonment for possessing illegal arms and another 56 days in November for trying to board an aircraft with a gun
According to reports of BBC, British media and various websites, the 44-year-old chemistry graduate was arrested in 1996 and tried for conspiring to cause explosions after chemicals, timers and detonators were discovered
He got acquitted of the Icharge claiming that he was writing a book on explosives. But he was found guilty of possessing an illegal firearm and sentenced to four years' imprisonment and also banned for life from possessing a firearm.
In 2000, he was arrested again and charged with planning to cause explosions after
police discovered a large cache of explosives at a house in Birmingham. In 2002, he was cleared of the charge but his codefendant was convicted of the offence and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment.
Faisal told the British court that he has

a PhD in chemistry and advises companies how to transport dangerous materials safely.
Again in July 13, last year, he was arrested for trying to board a plane with a pistol in his suitcase.
Faisal failed to declare a gas-powered pistol and bullet parts checked in at Manchester Airport, Minshull Street Crown Court heard in November. Prosecutors did not dispute they were for hunting and he admitted possessing dangerous articles on an aircraft.
He intended to fly from Manchester Airport to Dubai on 13 July with his wife and three children on an Emirates flight, en route to Bangladesh for a hunting and fishing trip.
I he court sentenced him to 56 days in prison, ordered him to undertake 100 hours of unpaid work and pay £250 prosecution costs. QUESTIONABLE LINKS OF GREEN CRESCENT Operating under the British Charity Commission that channels British taxpayers' money to various NGOs, Faisal's NGO Green Crescent, operating in Bangladesh and Pakistan, has questionable links.
last year the NGO, founded in 1998 at Faisal’s home location in Green Pastures, Heaton Mersey, Stockport had an income of £63,000 for 'longterm educational and health projects'.
Green Crescent is connected to Dubai-based Human Appeal International, which supposedly has links with Hamas and Iraqi insurgents. Human Appeal has a greater outreach than Green Crescent and has offices all over the world. It also claims to have set up the madrasa in Bhola.
Saeed Mahmood of Stockport-based charity Human Appeal International yesterday told Mail Online, "Faisal comes in every few months about mainland projects in Bangladesh. We only work with organisations that are registered with the Charity Commission so we had no idea about these allegations."
Andreas Tzortzis, a UKbased Islamist speaker and lecturer, is listed as a trustee of the Green Crescent charity on the Charity Commission's website. Tzortzis has close links with Hizb ut-Tahrir and regularly speaks at Islamic events across the UK.
Tzortzis appears on the
Islam Channel as a guest regularly. A number of presenters of the channel are Hizb ut- Tahrir members.
A spokesman for counterterrorism think-tank Quilliam Foundation told Mail Online, "If Green Crescent has been involved in militant activity, this will reflect very poorly on the Charity Commission, particularly given that Mostafa, the head of the charity, had previously been put on trial twice for terrorist offences."
"Ineffectiveness by the Chanty Commission in identifying and tackling extremist charities leads to the British taxpayer directly subsiding militancy," hesaid.
CASE AGAINST FAISAL
BBC's news item run on February 8, 2002 said facing accusation of conspiring to cause explosions, Faisal's coaccused Moinul Abedin, then 27, had told a jury that he was planning to start a fireworks business.
Abedin was found guilty of conspiring to cause explosions around UK and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. But Faisal who provided him with the explosives was acquitted from the case.
However, Abedin pleaded innocence to the Birmingham Crown Court saying it was "categorically not the fact" that he and Faisal Mostafa were plotting to make bombs.
He claimed that he had nothing to hide from the police officers who raided a house he rented on Barrows Road, Sparkhill, Birmingham. Abedin added he would not have let his wife and children stay in the house if he thought that they were at risk.
Five homemade detonators were seized in the raid in November 2000. The court heard how police found the raw materials for making the high-explosive hexanethylene triperoxide diamine (HTMD) in a business unit rented by Abedin under a pseudonym. The same material was found in the detonators.
Abedin said he met Faisal Mostafa when he went to pick up his brother from a mosque school in Small Heath, Birmingham, where his co-defendantwasateacher.
He claims Faisal, who had an interest in pyrotechnics, helped them concoct the fireworks from HTMD they then called "Mostafa's Powder".
