Known as “Terry Taliban” Dubliner Khalid Kelly, formerly Terry Kelly, was arrested last night following an Irish Sunday Mirror interview last week where he said: “Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed. How could I not feel happy when a big enemy of Islam is gone?” He can be held for up to three days before being charged or released.
Kelly is Ireland’s most outspoken supporter of al Qaeda (as the clip from ‘Holy War’ above demonstrates) and even named his son after its slain founder, Osama bin Laden.
He told the Irish Sunday Mirror he “expected” President Obama to be killed in Ireland “because the country’s police force is poorly armed”. He added that he would kill the president himself but he was “too well known to police here”.
And he’ s getting Sky Plus installed on the Saturday AND his sister’s kids are coming over all day Sunday. It’s just mad busy. Any other weekend. Seriously.
