Zana Abdul Rahman Rahim, who smuggled himself into Britain via Dover despite a UK-wide ban, is due to be sentenced on October 30 for plotting to kidnap a British ambassador.

Zana Abdul Rahman Rahim, 43, reached Dover from France in June despite a UK-wide ban, after several earlier attempts to get in. West Yorkshire Police uncovered his true identity during a routine check. He had served seven-and-a-half years in Italy as a spokesman and strategist for an Isis-affiliated cell. He is in custody and will be sentenced on October 30.

Rahim was a Derby car washer when a Europe-wide sting caught him in 2015.

He served as second-in-command to Rawti Shax founder Mullah Krekar, who had al-Qaeda links.

The network also discussed smuggling missiles and other weapons into Europe.
