Terror Plot To Bomb London Foiled

Seven Islamic terrorists plotted to blow up a significant British target causing maximum loss of life with remotely detonated explosives, the Old Bailey was told yesterday. Six trained at terrorist camps in Pakistan, two were said to have worked for al-Qaeda’s third-in-command and one said that Britain “needed to be hit because of its support for the US”. Their alleged plan to attack a nightclub, train or pub was averted at the last minute — after they had acquired all the bomb ingredients but before they could decide which site to hit. The men, mostly British-born, are standing trial after being held at Belmarsh prison for up to two years.
