Three men who helped fund a Libyan terrorist group from their homes in the UK have been jailed for a total of nearly eight years.

They provided more than £20,000 a year and false passports to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).

The men claimed that they did not know their money and documents were being used to support extremism and instead thought the funds were going to "humanitarian" causes.
But police found numerous references to terrorist activity at their homes, including photographs of hostages being beheaded.

The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group is an 'affiliate of al-Qaeda' as stated by the UN 1267 Committee and was banned by the Home Office from operating in the UK and anyone involved will face a 10-year prison term.

This caught my attention as these terrorists were operating from home, and were providing fake passports. Seems to me that this is new ammo to show the need for ID cards and Biometric Passports in the UK to stop these terrorists operating in the UK and creating fake identities for other terrorists.
