| Al-Qaeda cell planned to hit nightclub |
| 2006-05-26 |
| MEMBERS of an alleged British terror cell talked of blowing up London's Ministry of Sound nightclub, the Old Bailey heard yesterday. Jawad Akbar said they would not be blamed for killing innocent people but "those slags dancing around", the jury heard. In secret recordings made by security surveillance teams, Akbar and Omar Khyam, another member of the alleged al Qaeda-linked cell, appear to discuss possible targets. Khyam is heard apparently discussing hitting utility companies with the help of recruits with inside knowledge. But Akbar says the nightclub is a softer target for attack, according to the prosecution. The recording played to the jury was said by the prosecution to have been made at Akbar's then home in Uxbridge, west London, on Sunday, 22 February, 2004. Akbar, Khyam and others deny conspiring to cause explosions and also deny a charge under the Terrorism Act of possessing 600kg (1,300lb) of ammonium nitrate fertiliser for terrorism. |

| #9 Why don't they worry about their own co-religionists, instead of passing judgement (and acting on it) on non muslims? I would think the mass slaughter going on in Darfur would be more important than scantily clad women in Britain. The essence of it is, "Slags deserve to be murdered." What a religion. |

| #6 Khyam is heard apparently discussing hitting utility companies with the help of recruits with inside knowledge. But Akbar says the nightclub is a softer target for attack, according to the prosecution. Softer, bloodier, more brutal. I mean, c'mon, Khyam, blowing up a utility might be confused with a simple outage! We gotta get us some slags! Whatza slag? I can only imagine..... |

| #2 Allan is also against dancing near tightly-clad femmes with protruding nippies, nose rings, and alcoholic beverages in their hands. |
