A Welsh court convicted Mohammad Comrie, Faiz Shah, and Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime for their participation in a terrifying kidnap and assault on an Israeli national, Itay Kashti.
Conversations between the perpetrators revealed an Islamic motivation to the attack, with the men urging each other to “keep [in] mind your intention of jihad.”
Another message read “All three of us have complete 100 per cent faith in Allah, so we can’t fail.”
A victim impact statement read by the judge in court said that Kashti had thought he may be killed during the incident.
The awful incident of October 7 flashed through his mind as he lay restrained on the floor in handcuffs and he went on to say he was thinking of his Jewish ancestors who suffered through the Holocaust.
