Men convicted over UK bomb plot

Bluewater shopping centre in Kent was mooted as a possible target
Five men have been convicted of a bomb plot linked to al-Qaeda that could have killed hundreds of people in Britain.
Jurors in the year-long Old Bailey trial heard of plans to target a shopping centre, nightclub and the gas network with a giant fertiliser bomb.

Police smashed the plot in 2004 after MI5 had watched an Islamist extremist network with links across the world.

It has also been revealed some of the plotters met two of the 7 July London suicide bombers.

GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY TO CAUSE EXPLOSIONS: FULL PROFILES OF THE MEN

Jawad Akbar, 23
Omar Khyam, 26
Salahuddin Amin, 32
Waheed Mahmood, 35
Anthony Garcia, 24
The indictment in full
The link to 7 July

Mohammed Sidique Khan was spotted on four occasions in 2004 with at least one of the conspirators. At one point MI5 officers followed Khan back to his home in Leeds but no further action was taken.

Because of their workload and other cases having immediate priority in 2004, MI5 did not monitor him as he was not considered a risk. A year later Khan would lead the bombers who killed 52 people in the London attacks.

Clearly NOBODY should be planning or committing such acts.

If they're guilty of such heinous crimes they fully deserve to have their asses busted & locked away Idea
