Goals:

1. mini bio of [Mohamed Meguerba]
2. Sequence the events
   1. MM backround, partly from SIAC judgement. Also lays ground for passport charges?
   2. MM flees (why)
   3. MM Arrested in Algeria (When is he sentenced, should this bee in the timeline)
   4. MI5 receives info and passes it on
   5. Raid in Wood Green (Second address) Matching Nivea pot, recipes in KB handwriting, ingredients matching recipes.
   6. Separate raid on Manchester address, murder. Passport found there (what else).
3. Trial, was information from Algeria used in evidence? Perhaps note the UK does not have "fruit of the poisoned tree" concept.
4. Names of other detainees we have, bu they should be in the article.
5. Clarify deportation, two from KB trial, any from non-trial, etc.
6. Is "dozens of addresses" and "hundreds of detainees" supportable?
7. More on deportation, specifically U and K?
8. Blunkett's speech? Quote is available, transcript would be better
9. Blair's speech? Need transcript if poss, to see relevance and extent of what he said.
10. External link to E M-B's information Grauniad?
11. Find out if person or persons unknown related to MM - could be "acting on information recieved"?
12. Find all charges brought. Anything from CPS? KB conviction 2nd trial was 'conspiracy to cause a public nuisance by the use of poisons and explosives to cause disruption, fear or injury' and attempted murder
13. How much did Y et all work with Hamza?
14. Were charges in trial 2 dismissed because the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict?
15. Make the text about the media coverage timeline clear - in fact a timeline might be the answer.

• MM sentencing in Algeria with background
• Upset jurors Lawrence Archer? Fiona? Relates primarily to 'Y'

• https://web.archive.org/web/20160325024110/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/apr/14/alqaida.terrorism Duncan Campbell "It is true that when the team from Porton Down entered the Wood Green flat in January 2003, their field equipment registered the presence of ricin." ""Al-Qaida and the international network is seen to be, and will be demonstrated through the courts over months to come, actually on our doorstep and threatening our lives," he [Blunkett] said on November 14." "I do not doubt that Bourgass would have contemplated causing harm if he was competent to do so. But he was an Islamist yobbo on his own, not an Al Qaida-trained superterrorist. An Asbo might be appropriate." Also "To show that the Jihad manual was written in the 1980s and the period of the US-supported war against the Soviet occupation was easy. The ricin recipe it contained was a direct translation from a 1988 US book called the Poisoner's Handbook, by Maxwell Hutchkinson." of course it could have been translated any time up to when it was found in 2000. Note that the Jihad Manual is distinct from the "Mujahideen Poisons Handbook. Campbell seems to refer to six sets of ricin documents. There is no clear proposed propagation in this article, though there is more information elsewhere. Nor is it wholly clear what DC claims the gov sci claimed.

1. The planned government case on links to Afghanistan was based only on papers that a freelance journalist working for the Times had scooped up after the US invasion of Kabul. Some were in Arabic, some in Russian. They were far more detailed than Bourgass's notes. Nevertheless, claimed a government scientist, they showed a "common origin and progression" in the methods, thus linking the London group of north Africans to Afghanistan and Bin Laden.
2. the "Mujahideen Poisons Handbook, containing recipes for ricin and much more" written by veterans of the 1980s Afghan war, has been on the net since 1998
3. The recipes for ricin now seen on the internet were invented 20 years ago by survivalist Kurt Saxon. He advertises videos and books on the internet. Before the ricin ring trial started, I phoned him in Arizona. For $110, he sent me a fistful of CDs and videos on how to make bombs, missiles, booby traps - and ricin. We handed a copy of the ricin video to the police. This could be considered multiple documents
4. The documents by Saxon themselves
5. the chemical lists found in London were an exact copy of pages on an internet site in Palo Alto, California,
6. .. "al-Qaida manual" into the case. The manual - called the "Manual of the Afghan Jihad" - had been found on a raid in Manchester in 2000. It was given to the FBI to produce in the 2001 New York trial for the first attack on the World Trade Centre. But it wasn't an al-Qaida manual. The name was invented by the US department of justice in 2001. It looks like Campbell is referring to the name "al-Qaida manual" not "Manual of the Afghan Jihad"
7. the Poisoner's Handbook, by Maxwell Hutchkinson 1988 Loompanics, Port Townsend, Washington p9 ".. 2-3 ounces of castor beans ... two tablespoons of lye. ...clean gravel or marbles... ... blender ... four times their weight of acetone (x3) ... coffee filter (x3) ... surgical gloves and a mask"
