This article is incorrect on many details. I have corrected the most egregious error in the lead: Samar Alami was not convicted of, nor even charged with, bombing the embassy. She and Jawad Botmeh were convicted of conspiracy, in a case marked by suppressed testimonies and circumstantial evidence.

Although Alami was released at the end of her sentence, and deported to Lebanon, some years ago (a fact not noted in the article), she continues to maintain her innocence -- as indeed does her solicitor, Gareth Peirce. I will be editing this article and introducing many changes and corrections as soon as I complete my current work. RolandR (talk) 13:37, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

There seem to be much more "incorrect" things: In an interview, Date of issue: 31 October 2012, Annie Machon, a former MI5 member and now Whistle Blower, also spoke to Paul Jay (interviewer) about Samar Alami and Jawad Botmehe convicted for conspiracy to bomb the Israeli embassy in 1994 in London, but MI5 had evidence that they were innocent. However they still let them go ahead and be convicted. There was evidence, that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, had carried out a controlled explosion outside their own embassy in order to increase the security around all their interests in London. In addition to frame these two innocent people who were involved in Palestinian support networks in London. There was an appeal for the two people in prison. And they admitted that there were documents within MI5, but they weren't going to disclose them. So the two people who had to finish their sentences, they got 20 years in prison each. It was a young woman called Samar Alami and a young man called Jawad Botmeh. [1] Edgar8 (talk) 17:23, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Rewrite after page was blanked for plagiarism

edit

I've created an alternate page at Talk:Samar Alami/Temp. I really don't think this (or many other of the articles blanked by Mkativerata) are plagiarised. --Sreifa (talk) 07:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, but I'm afraid we can't use your rewrite. We ask contributors who wish to help out to rewrite from scratch primarily to avoid problems like this, as your rewrite incorporated such text as the following from Epeefleche:

She admitted possessing other explosive devices and related literature. Botmeh was alleged to have purchased the two cars that were used in the attacks, and a large amount of TATP explosive of a different type to that used in the two bombs was found in a lock-up rented by him. The two alleged that a Palestinian known to them as "Reeda," whom they were unable to further identify, had supplied the TATP found in the lock-up and accompanied Botmeh to buy cars at auction.

With minimal alterations, this is copied from The Jerusalem Post

Alami, a chemical engineer, admitted possessing other explosive devices and related literature. Botmeh, also an engineer, was alleged to have purchased the two cars that were used in the London attacks, and a large amount of TATP explosive of a different type to that used in the two bombs was found in a lock-up rented by him. The pair alleged that a Palestinian known to them as "Reeda," whom they were unable to further identify, had supplied the TATP found in the lock-up and accompanied Botmeh to buy cars at auction.

This is not only a problem of plagiarism, but also a violation of our copyright policy and thus unusable. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste for more information. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:40, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
