This is horrible.

  Except he eventually gave them the password, which means he didn't just 'innocently' forget his password. However, it looks like he was trying to cover up for fraud rather than terrorism, so maybe he decided that guilty fraudster was better than suspected terrorist.

    It's not impossible that he truly did forget the password for a period of time, especially at the beginning while he was still under a great deal of stress.

    He gave them the password after he had been jail 4 mounths for not remembering, if i got the article correct.

      You did not. He was in jail because he admitted to planning a bomb attack. He was not charged for failing to provide the password until he later made it clear that he either lied when he said he forgot or remembered later and failed to comply at the point when he remembered.

    Or the fraud was to provide funds for terrorism as has been the case in a number of UK terrorist trials. Other UK based terrorists (PIRA and the UDA) are known to engage in criminal activities to fund themselves.

  So he was already sentenced for plotting an attack to kill innocent people: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22200133 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22200133 He was responsible for another home made bomb and he is now a convicted thief and fraudster. There was a suspicion another attack is planned, what's horrible about police taking precautions. That's why we have laws - to protect us, and sure in some situations people may be wrongly accused and detained if society's interest is above and suspicion or crime exists but blame criminals who commit the crimes not the law.
