| Terror suspect admits plane plot |
| 2005-02-28 |
| Terror suspect Saajid Badat has admitted involvement in a plot to blow up an aircraft. Badat, 25, was alleged to have conspired with fellow Briton Richard Reid and a Belgian terrorist to make a shoebomb to be detonated on a plane. He admitted the charge when he appeared at the Old Bailey in London on Monday and will be sentenced on 18 March. Badat was arrested at his Gloucester home in November 2003, after operations by the police and MI5. More than 100 homes in the city were evacuated during a police search of his house. BINGO! But I thought his community said he was such a nice boy?? |

| #8 Bulldog, Thats scary stuff (the bug, not the bomber). I wonder what else in our heads is the result of an infection ? |

| #7 "From infant school and junior school he was a very quiet boy, very intelligent lad - never in any trouble, always teacher's pet, bit of a boffin as such, really. He kept himself to himself, never ever got into trouble, never had any enemies. It's a shock to hear his name come up in these circumstances." Hmm. Toxoplasma gondii or hard-core Islam? As ever: hard to tell. |

| #4 On radio, BBC are reporting that the police found a shoe bomb at his address, and that he's admitted that he backed out of shoebombing at the same time as Reid was up to his japes - they were provided with the bombs, at the same time, in Afghanistan, and told to blow up airliners en route to the US. |
