UK brothers deny chemical plot
Two brothers suspected of plotting to make a chemical bomb for an attack in Britain have denied all accusations, their lawyers said yesterday, as police continued to search their home. The men, Abul Koyair, 20, and Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, were held during a dawn raid on Friday when more than 250 police officers, some in chemical protection suits, stormed their house in east London.Kahar was shot in the shoulder during the raid, one of the biggest operations since last July's suicide attacks in the British capital, although police said it was not related. Specific intelligence had suggested the house might have been used to make a toxic bomb for an attack in Britain, police sources said. "He says there's absolutely not a word of truth in any of it," Kahar's lawyer Kate Roxburgh told reporters. "He says the police are not going to find anything because there is nothing to find." Koyair's lawyer, Julian Young, said earlier his client had also denied he was involved in any terrorism plot, adding: "To date I have seen no evidence showing that he has been."
