A FORMER Bury College student claims he is helping to smuggle British volunteers into Afghanistan to fight for the Taliban regime.
From his new home in Lahore, Pakistan, Hassan Butt said that he is prepared to fight in any "jihad" against British and American soldiers.
Born in Luton, Hassan and his family moved to Prestwich when he was three. He studied for a time at both Prestwich High School and Bury College.
Six months ago he emigrated from England to Pakistan where he is now the spokesman for the Islamic group Al-Muhajiroun.
He claims to have smuggled 30 British Muslims into Afghanistan willing to fight for the Talibans.
