Summary:Sensing he was cornered, Bourgass grabbed a knife and lashed out. He failed to escape but delivered a fatal blow to Dc Stephen Oake, a Special Branch officer. The Bourgass story, like so many in the modern terrorist era, has its roots in the training camps of Afghanistan run, until 2001, by the ruling Taliban regime and the al- Qa'eda movement of Osama bin Laden. Bourgass was said to have prepared poison with the help of Meguerba, at an address in Wood Green. Meguerba suggested that the poisons might be smeared on doors of cars and buildings in the Holloway Road area of north London. After the Wood Green raid, a nationwide manhunt was launched for Nadir/Bourgass. A week later, Bourgass killed Stephen Oake.
