Statement regarding BBC2 documentary ‘The New Al-Qaeda: Jihad.com’

“It is apparent to anyone who had the misfortune of viewing Peter Taylor’s BBC2 documentary, ‘The New Al-Qaeda; Jihad.com’ (broadcast on Monday 25th July 2005, 9pm) that the programme had only one agenda, and was extremely biased. It exploited the minds of an already vulnerable British public in the aftermath of the tragic 7/7 bombings. The whole aim of the programme was to put ahead one view and one opinion in order to prejudice the public with regards to Babar Ahmad.”
