He was caught and didn't escape, so yes, you're wrong.
whats the reason for that?
No he didn't.That's why they showed pictures of cctv footage showing him wearing it as he left the country![]()
It's not the one I'm thinking of then.
Why would you have hoped you were wrong if you knew you were right?
Any link?

Revealed: Pc killer's battle to escape justice - with video

A VIOLENT immigrant who fled back to his native Somalia after murdering Bradford police officer Sharon Beshenivsky even tried to escape justice after he was found – claiming he had been brought back illegally.
Full report: Worldwide hunt for Pc Sharon Beshenivsky's killers
The full details can be revealed after Mustaf Jama, who should have been deported from the UK because of his string of convictions, was yesterday found guilty of murder at Newcastle Crown Court.
He chose to lie low in lawless Somalia – even though British officials had refused to send him back there as it was deemed too dangerous.
As one of the most wanted men in Britain he is believed to have fled days after the robbery wearing a veil and using his sister's passport.
Following the raid on the Bradford travel agents in 2005, there was much concern he would never be found as there is no extradition treaty between the UK and Somalia.
Instead a deal was struck between the two countries and Jama was found in 2007 in a daring mission in the Somali desert.
Last year his lawyers argued that the case against him should be thrown out, claiming he was seized illegally in his home country.
After a three-day hearing at Woolwich Crown Court Mr Justice Simon rejected those claims.
That meant Jama could finally face justice for the murder of the police officer gunned down while at work on her youngest daughter's fourth birthday.
He will now serve his 35-year sentence in a British jail – at an estimated cost to the taxpayer of 75,000 a year.
There is no prisoner transfer agreement with Somalia, so prisoners serve their sentence here.
Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: "The Government's failure to deport foreign prisoners is nothing short of a scandal. There are still serious former offenders out in our community and not only has the Government not deported them, but they don't even know where they are. Many people will see it as a ticking time bomb."
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne added: "The murderer should not have been in this country. Ministers must get a grip on this problem urgently."
Secret intelligence indicated Jama was in Somalia.
A confidential "memorandum of understanding" was then signed in 2006 specifically relating to him.
Meetings were held between West Yorkshire Police, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Home Office.
It was not considered safe for British police officers to go to Somalia, but details of the case against him were forwarded to Somalia.
The costs of the return were split between West Yorkshire Police, the Foreign Office and the Home Office. West Yorkshire Police's contribution to the costs covered flights for all police officers to collect Jama in Dubai, the return flight with him and the cost of flying him from Somalia.
At the hearing last year Owen Davies QC for Jama had claimed he was effectively kidnapped by "bounty hunters" because the Somalian government had no right to legally extradite him. But the judge ruled his extradition was legal.
The acting head of the judicial co-operation unit at the Home Office, Fenella Taylor, said a request had come from Somalia for 96,000 dollars for "operational costs", which had been queried.
She denied Mr Davies's suggestion that it was a "bribe" to pay for Jama's seizure.
Det Supt Andy Brennan told the court about 90,000 had been put forward as reward money in the case, including 50,000 from Crimestoppers, none of which had ever been paid out in Somalia or anywhere else.

Fair enough. Poor border control operatives.
I certainly think that all obscured faces should be made to reveal themselves, and it's not against the law to make them.
Where's TLR when you need him.
Wots a burka ?
But do you think they let him through as they were wary of upsetting anyone of that ethnic origin, or because he had innocent eyes?![]()
I have no problem with women wearing what they want, whenever they want. My only proviso is that other people can have the right to say I don't want to communicate (do dealings with/let you collect children from schools/go through customers/etc) with you if you won't show your face for identification.
groucho said:Am i right in thinking that if you were to enter a bank wearing a crash helmet that security would ask you to remove it. What would happen to anyone wearing a burka ?
