| A graduate who watched television coverage on the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in New York telephoned police and warned of plans to "bombard" Britain as well, was jailed for three years. Mossadek Jouini, 38, said he was a member of the banned Palestinian Hamas organisation, insisted it was responsible for the outrages in America, then claimed one of London's tallest tower blocks was to be targeted. Whether that happened and "innocent people" in the former NatWest Tower at Canary Wharf were killed as a result depended on Tony Blair, he told a telephone operator at Scotland Yard, who was busy tracing the call. The attack would go ahead if the Prime Minister's statements in the coming weeks showed he was backing the United States, Jouini told the operator. (ThisIsLondon.com) |
