Bogus Dubai cop has three-year jail term upheld for kidnap and robbery

DUBAI // A man who posed as a police officer to kidnap and rob a labourer has had his three-year jail sentence upheld by the Appeals Court.

AK, 24, from Pakistan, approached a Bangladeshi electrician in Al Quoz and, introducing himself as a CID officer, told him to get in his car.

When the electrician complied, the bogus policeman assaulted him and stole Dh10,800 from his wallet.

The kidnapper then stopped the car in an area of desert and threw the electrician out.

Police said the kidnapper had been involved in other similar robberies and that he usually worked with an accomplice.

At his original trial at the Criminal Court, the man denied charges of impersonation, kidnap and robbery, but was found guilty.

The Appeals Court also upheld his deportation order.

Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
