VIDEO: Inside 'terror' alert drug factory

THIS is the inside of an industrial unit which sparked a major terrorism alert.

Police pounced on the industrial estate in Birley Street, Blackburn, after a tip off in the wake of a foiled car bombing in London and the attack on Glasgow Airport last June.

But instead of making bombs, Ifzal Rafiq and Mohammed Tahir were using the fuel to help grow high-potency skunk cannabis.

Some 175 plants were found in one room, 25 "mother plants" in another and there were 62 cuttings they were trying to grow.

Rafiq, 22, and Tahir, 30, both of Keighley, pleaded guilty to producing cannabis.

Rafiq was jailed for two years and Tahir for 28 months.

Now police have released video footage of the moment they made the cannabis discovery.

That is wrong Fred. It is stupid people like you who have to turn everything into racism. the 'Asian Brothers' did wrong and are being punished for it. How about the 6 white people that got selling hunders, possibly thousands, of ILLEGAL digi-boxes. Would you say that they too are working for the community ? If you want to start racsim, i suggest you join the BNP and see what it's really like !

Alan, thanks for the warning, I didn't know digiboxes were dangerously addictive, leathal, and family destroying. As for JK you are an uneducated, brain dead, imbecile. Just the sort of person Blackburn is full of these days.

Good on you, an Asian lad that knows that the Asians in this Town break the law too much and got their fingers in too many pies!!!

This Town sucks and it is not really the fault of the Asians, it's the Government's fault for letting them all in and letting them getting away with their crimes. Roll on next election because there is going to be a big big suprise coming everyones way!!!

Just ask yourselves where does all the heroin come from. We are also told it is used to fund terror, and also ask which ethnic group tends to be fool enough to buy it from which ethnic group.

One dimensional party for simple minded mouth-breathers.
