Alleged terrorist wanted to "teach the West a lesson"
Suspected terrorist Abdullah Ahmed Ali is alleged to have vowed "to teach the West a lesson it will never forget" during a 16-minute video recording played out at his trial in the UK.
It is claimed six defendants in total recorded suicide videos. The tapes were allegedly found in the car of one of the accused, while copies were found in his garage. Eight men, all in their twenties and from London, deny that they planned to kill thousands by detonating home-made bombs on mid-air transatlantic flights in August 2006. The suspects' arrests sparked major disruption to British and European airports, with hundreds of flights grounded. The men are accused of planning to assemble bombs using chemicals smuggled on board in soft drinks containers. Airlines swiftly brought in new limits on the amount of liquids and gels allowed in hand baggage. Posted by: tipper 2008-04-15 |
