R v MOHAMMED GUL (2012)

[2012] EWCA Crim 280

A jury considering offences under the Terrorism Act 2000 s.2 had been correctly directed that attacks by insurgents on coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan were acts of terrorism within the definition contained in s.1. There was nothing in international law that compelled the court to read down the clear terms of the Act to exempt such persons from that definition.
