MP 'death list' blog: man charged with soliciting murder

Bilal Zaheer Ahmad, of Dunstall, Wolverhampton, was arrested last Wednesday in connection with the website which influenced a student who tried to kill MP Stephen Timms.

He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London this morning. Ahmad was charged with soliciting murder, West Midlands Police said.

The hit list of MPs who voted for the Iraq war was removed from the extremist website revolutionmuslim.com after the Home Office urged the US to act against it. The post hailed the student who tried to kill Labour's Stephen Timms as a "heroine".

It appears that a radical Muslim site has apparently influenced someone to try and murder a member of parliament who voted for the Iraq war. The site in question has put up a "Hit list" of MPs who voted for the Iraq war and it has worked to an extent considering that there has been an attempt on MP Stephen Timm's life.

Do you think there are going to be more murder attempts like this on political figures because of this list?

Do you think there are going to be more murder attempts on political figures in general?

Interesting that this is the first I'm hearing about any arrests on this subject, as Wolverhampton is pretty much my back yard as it were. I would have thought this would have been big news on Midlands today or Central News.

As for your question; I doubt there will be any more blatant attempts like this one. It was a poorly planned and poorly executed attempt at murder, pure and simple.

You do not think that with more and more people getting angry at governments there will be no more murder attempts?

I'm not sure, although I wouldn't be surprised.
