Drill rapping ‘terrorist’ Al Arfat Hassan ‘threatened blood and torment if his girlfriend left him’, court hears | UK News

A drill rapping alleged terrorist threatened to bring “blood, terror and torment” when his girlfriend told her she was splitting up with him, a court has heard. 

Al Arfat Hassan, 19, had a series of arguments with a girl he had met only weeks earlier, telling her that she could not see her eight-year-old cousin and that feminism was forbidden in Islam.

Hassan from Enfield, North London, is accused of plotting an attack in central London after viewing an ISIS video tutorial, buying chemicals and other components for a bomb and purchasing knives.

He was allegedly helped in his plans by a 15-year-old fan from Roundhay in Leeds, who he met online, through his rapping.

Leeds Crown Court heard that after an argument on 17 December last year the girlfriend told him in a message: “Go find someone who’ll accept you for who you are after everything u say n do.”

But Hassan responded: “U cant break up w me, u dont have that choice or option in ur life man.

“Ima f**kin blow sh*t up. U took a oath that u would never leave me. What happened to that?

“Watch the blood, the torment, the terror, the pain, the screaming, the agony. All of it is cos of u, n wat u just said. “

The court heard that earlier that day, the pair had argued over whether the girlfriend could see her eight-year-old male cousin.

Hassan left her a rambling voice note saying: “I’m legit telling you, no you’re not going in front of your cousins and if you want to go in front of your cousins I’ll f**king smash them up in front of you.

“You’re not allowed to free mix like that. And then what? It’s just always a problem – ‘Oh no he’s 8 he’s 9.’ Bruv in Islam if they’re 8 you cannot, they’re a man.”

Jurors were told that there had been an earlier argument on 22 November, in which the girlfriend said she was not going to apologise for her phone dying and “using that opportunity to go and pray and help my mum”.

‘I’ll be the monster I’ve always wanted to be’

But Hassan told her: “Then i’ll be the monster ive always wanted to be, n i promise everyone i will not go back on it.

“Long story short, im on 0 tolerance cos carnage must happen it just has to, or ppl wont change. Thats me done.”

The court heard that the two also had a jealous argument over whether she was allowed to travel at night without a guardian in which Hassan told her that feminism was forbidden in Islam.

Hassan and the teenager, who cannot be named, deny charges of preparing acts of terrorism.

Hassan also denies charges of possessing and disseminating terrorist material.

The trial continues.
