'An ISIS fighter living in Britain' - Patrick Christys rages at Britain's borders
A suspected Islamic State (Isis) member who allegedly fought for the terror group in Iraq has been living in taxpayer-funded asylum accommodation while claiming asylum in the UK.
Layth Ibrahim Mohammed, 39, is accused of having links to the jihadist group during the 2010s, including allegedly making booby-trapped bombs and teaching children of Isis fighters at a school run by the organisation.
The Iraqi national is said to have arrived in Britain by small boat from France in August 2025, allegedly providing officials with a false name.
He was then accommodated in a hotel funded by the Home Office in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
National Crime Agency (NCA) officers arrested Mohammed at the hotel in October 2025, almost two months after his arrival.
It came as German authorities reportedly alerted British officials to his alleged Isis background.
The case is believed to be the first known instance of a suspected Isis terrorist entering Britain and living in the country undetected, although this has not been independently established.
The circumstances surrounding Mohammed’s arrival and accommodation are likely to raise questions about the checks carried out on asylum seekers, and how authorities assess potential national security risks.
Mohammed is now fighting extradition to Germany, where he is wanted to face terrorism-related charges and an allegation that he raped a German woman.
The allegations have not been established in court.
During a hearing in Westminster, his lawyer, Joanna Curtis, argued that extraditing her client would be inhumane, citing his mental health problems and other reported health complaints.
"He has significant mental health issues, including severe anxiety, as well as depression", Ms Curtis told the hearing, adding that his trauma stemmed from a bomb attack in Iraq that killed his son.
Strangely, she also cited his reported symptoms of "pins and needles" as part of the arguments against extradition.
A decision on whether Mohammed should be extradited to Germany is expected on November 3, when judges are next due to consider the case.
Yesterday, Sir Ken McCallum, Director General of MI5, highlighted the security concerns of Islamist terrorism to Britain during a conference speech.
He described Iran as a major security threat, with Iran-linked having led to more than fifty arrests in the UK over the last 12 months.
Sir Ken highlighted the threats to UK military sites from the Iranian regime and its military arm, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, citing the direct threat to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, from where US bombers have carried out raids against Iran.
But Sir Ken issued a clear warning to would-be plotters and attackers, saying, "Those who seek to cause mayhem on British streets – whether hired thugs here or their paymasters overseas – will meet an unflinching response."
