Jury considers verdict in Blackburn terror trial
2010-03-19
A jury was today considering its verdict in the case of three Blackburn men accused of preparing for acts of terrorism.

Nigel Ilyas Iqbal, 23, his brother Christopher Abbas Iqbal, 24, both of Percival Street, and Morris Muhammed Ali-Ahmad, 26, of Whalley Range, have been on trial for a month at Manchester Crown Court. The prosecution has told the trial that the three men had become 'intoxicated by the evil of terrorism'.

Video footage was played to the jury showing two of the men dressed in camouflage crawling across woodland in Corporation Park, Blackburn. This shows they had started to train themselves to join or carry out jihad, the prosecution said.

But the men have told the court that the footage were 'just a bit of fun' fuelled by a love of action movies. They have denied any involvement in preparing acts of terrorism.
