Mouloud Sihali

Mouloud Sihali, born March 1976 in Algeria, departing in 1997 to avoid National Service, and arriving as an illegal immigrant in the UK. He was arrested on 19 Sep 2002, accused of being involved in the "Wood Green ricin plot" with the intent to poison as part of a terror attack in the UK (charged 22 January 2003). No evidence of production of the poison ricin was presented at the trial, which opened in September 2004 at the Old Bailey. Sihali was acquitted of the charges in April 2005, but was re-arrested on 15 September 2005, to be held as a terrorist suspect awaiting extradition to Algeria. There is concern that he could be arrested and tortured if deported to Algeria.
