High street bank gives Al Qaeda terror suspect a 100% mortgage

One of Britain's biggest high street banks has sparked fury after giving a 100 per cent mortgage to an Al Qaeda terror suspect who smuggled himself into the UK.

Albanian Muslim Krenar Lusha, 30, who had failed to get asylum in Britain applied to the National Westminster for a mortgage in his real name in a daring ruse to help him settle down and mingle in suburban Middle England.

Despite being an illegal immigrant - who had entered the UK on the back of a lorry - mortgage advisors at the bank apparently failed to carry out full checks on Lusha's status in Britain.

They agreed to give him a 25-year loan without him even having to place a deposit.

As a result, Lusha splashed out on a £93,000 Victorian terraced property in the Normanton area of Derby and began using his new home as an Al Qaeda base.

He also got a UK driving licence and a £30,000 engineering job at a plastics factory.

Police eventually arrested Lusha when they raided his two-up-two-down and found him downloading videos on how to make explosives, a missile and a suicide bomber belt.

Lusha was also found to have boasted to a string of women he had met on dating websites about being a 'terrorist' and a 'sniper'. He had online conversations with the women about how he loved to see Jews and Americans killed and to watch films showing the live beheadings of U.S. soldiers.

Inquiries revealed the 100 per cent mortgage was granted to Lusha only last year at a time when world financial markets began to crash and other home buyers were being refused home loans.

It emerged he had opened a bank account with the NatWest - famed for its slogan 'Another Way' - soon after he sneaked into the UK in 2000.

He had been offered another mortgage on a previous occasion by the same bank for a different house but had decided not to take it up.

When bank staff were asked about their dealings with Lusha, one mortgage advisor replied: 'He was just a pleasant-natured person and there was nothing untoward.'

A row has now broken out over the bank's involvement with Lusha after he was yesterday jailed for seven years for terrorism offences.

He was convicted of 'possessing articles which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that they were for a terror-related purpose' at Preston Crown Court.

Tory MP David Davies said: 'It is extraordinary that a major high street bank gave a mortgage to an illegal immigrant.

'It would appear that they have failed to carry out the most basic checks on the applicant's status. This has only come to light because terrorism charges have been brought against an individual so can we assume that hundreds of other illegal immigrants have also been given mortgages?

'The banks should now run urgent checks to find out and to take action against those who are found to be illegally in the country.'

Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'It is very worrying that someone with no legal right to be here was able to live in the UK whilst pursuing extremism.

'The state of our border controls is appalling and this is a vivid demonstration of the dangers of that failure. Potentially violent extremists should not be able to get into Britain with such ease.'

The court heard how Lusha had become radicalised while studying Islam and Arabic in Qatar as a youth. He smuggled himself into the UK on the back of a lorry in January 2000, arriving undetected at Dover.

Lusha and his brother Ndriqim had initially paid human traffickers 7,000 US dollars (£4,000) to transport them to England, but they were left stranded in Italy.

They then arrived in the UK via Belgium after a three-week journey, and while Ndriqim moved to Thailand, Lusha claimed asylum by claiming he had been persecuted in Kosovo by Serbs who had broken his arm and hit him with rifles.

He was sent to live in a hostel in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, at taxpayers' expense for two months before being given train tickets to Derby.

He opened a bank account with the Nat West in the year he arrived in the UK and obtained two bank loans.

Lusha lived in string of rented houses, using fake Italian and Yugoslavian driving licences as ID.

In 2001, a judge in Birmingham recommended he get 'exceptional leave to remain in the UK because of the troubles between Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia'.

The court heard how Lusha got a job as a machine operator and frequently worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, cycling to and from work until he bought a car.

Lusha said he also took classes in English and hairdressing and would liked to have taken an access course to study law but for the fact that he was required to provide a passport as proof of identification.

In July last year he bought the terraced home in Derby after speaking to mortgage advisor Susan Barson at the St Peters Street branch of the Nat West.

Miss Barson said she believed there to be 'nothing untoward' about Lusha, adding: 'He was a quiet, pleasant-natured man and accepted my apologies for having to spend so much time on the phone between me and the mortgage centre because of problems with a computer system.'

Lusha started working at HL Plastics in Denby, Derbyshire, in 2002 under operations director David Lennox, after joining from an agency.

Mr Lennox said Lusha had been 'hard working' and that his arrest had shocked everyone at the factory.

'The people on the shop floor found him a fun person,' he said. 'He was not argumentative. They found him more of a peaceful person. If there was anything controversial started, he would not want to aggravate that controversy.

'He was very much into gadgets, mobile phones and computers and was willing to help other people in the factory. When we found out what had happened, everyone was completely stunned. There was quite a lot of upset in the factory.'

Police raided Lusha's home on August 26 last year during which Special Branch officers found 71.8 litres of petrol in his cellar and two kilograms of potassium nitrate, a constituent part of gunpowder, in his bedroom.

Fourteen mobile phones and a laptop were found in his living room, downloading a folder entitled 'Archive of Hezbollah Military Instruction manuals', featuring Arabic training videos on how to make detonators, explosives, a missile and a suicide bomber belt.

The folder also contained instructions on landmine placement and how to use an AK-47 automatic rifle.

A series of video clips of U.S. soldiers being shot and military vehicles being blown up were found, as was gruesome footage of live beheadings by Islamic extremist groups.

A Car Bomb Recognition Guide, a Middle Eastern Terrorist Bomb Design and The Mujahedeen Explosives Handbook were discovered, along with a photo file showing the 'organisational chart' of Al-Qaeda.

A video on how to modify a mobile phone to trigger a petrol bomb and a live shotgun cartridge were also found.

A Nat West spokesman said: 'It would be inappropriate for NatWest to comment on the specifics of this case, however the bank has robust mortgage account opening procedures in place.'
