Rabah Kadre or Kadri (born 1967, Algeria), was a former member of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat based in Algeria. He was a alleged mastermind of the 2000 Strasbourg cathedral bombing plot in December 2000 and sentenced in absentia to 6 years in prison at a court in Paris in 2004. [1]

Arrest in UK

Kadre was arrested on May 11th, 2002 in London with two other suspects, Rabah Chekat-Bais and Karim Kadouri, in connection with an alleged reported attempt to attack the London Underground, the London Tube, with severe poisoning substances. [2]

Trial and imprisonment

Kadre was in contact with Merouane Benhamed in an attempt to produce home made poison for home-made terror purposes. Kadre was charged with possessing material that could be used to commit terror attacks such as Paris, London and Strasbourg. [3] He was charged again in February 2003 in France over an alleged plot to concoct a weapon from chemicals. These charges were later dropped for him. On December 16th, 2004 in Paris, France, Kadri was convicted and sentenced in absentia to 6 years imprisonment for his role in the 2000 Strasbourg plot. The short prison term suggest that Kadre played a secondary role in the plot. On June 22nd, 2006 Kadre was extradited to France from UK. [4] Three other men from central and north London were also arrested on 9 November the same day. Two of them were released on police bail and the third was freed with no further action. [5]
