Muslim who was allowed to stay in UK after entering illegally joins ISIS and is found with jihad suicide bomb manual

Did British authorities think that Abdullah Yousef would be grateful after being allowed to stay in the country even though he arrived illegally? Did they think he would become a patriot. No. Even they are not that stupid and naive. The fact is that they knew that Abdullah Yousef and others like him could prove to be a jihad threat, and they simply didn’t care. Protecting British citizens is not on their list of priorities.

“Islamist who was allowed to stay in Britain after entering illegally as a teenager faces prison after joining ISIS and being found with ‘suicide bomb manual,'” by Eleanor Mann, Daily Mail, October 6, 2026:

An ISIS terrorist who had been granted indefinite leave to remain in Britain as a teenager after arriving illegally now faces prison, after being found with a ‘suicide bomb manual’ on ‘homemade explosive belts’.

Abdullah Yousef, 24, created a Telegram group where he published terrorist material, including instructions on how to make suicide vests and sharing videos glorifying the 9/11 attacks on America which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Yousef arrived in the UK aged 15 claiming to be from Syria, although prosecutors suspect he is from Egypt.

Alongside a number of messages Yousef had sent on Telegram which professed his support for, and membership of Daesh, a proscribed terrorist organisation, he also sent a message saying: ‘By the way, I am a terrorist.’

Yousef, of Milton Keynes, was found guilty of membership of a proscribed organisation following a two-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court….

The court heard Yousef had an interest in extreme Islamist material, particularly relating to Daesh, a proscribed terrorist organisation.

He was convicted of terror offences including membership of the Islamic State and the possession of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, in the form of a document titled ‘homemade explosive belts’.

Yousef was also convicted of six charges of dissemination of a terrorist publication….

Frederick Hookway, prosecuting, told an earlier hearing: ‘…Going back to May 4, 2024, the defendant was engaged in a conversation on Telegram with another user.

‘He was sent a link on archive that was then used to make a pledge of allegiance to IS.

‘What follows from this is a lot of material that would suggest sympathy, if not support for, IS, that includes disseminations of publications that support IS.

‘Added to that, there was a specific document recovered from that telephone which appeared to have been saved, a guide to making suicide vests.

‘Although it did not contain all the instructions needed, it would have been capable of being useful to someone with that intention.

‘Within other messages, the defendant openly referred to seeking out that knowledge.

‘In terms of what else is known of the defendant, he entered the UK illegally when he was approximately 15 years old.

‘He claims to have come from Syria, but bearing in mind the dialect on his phone, he appears to have come from Egypt.

‘He has indefinite leave to remain in the UK.’…
