More repellent details from the 2006 Islamic terror plot to blow up multiple jetliners over the Atlantic: British Muslims in airliner terror plot ‘talked of taking families on suicide missions’.
Members of a British Muslim terrorist cell discussed taking their wives and children on suicide missions to blow up transatlantic jets, a jury heard yesterday.
The ringleader, Abdulla Ahmed Ali, was bugged by police talking about whether to bring his baby son but said his wife “would not agree to it”. Umar Islam, however, said his wife might join the plot if it were a “significant operation”.
Six of the eight-strong gang each made “chilling” suicide videos expressing the desire to wreak “death and destruction” against the West and “Kuffar”, or non-believers. They were intended to serve as taunts from beyond the grave if their horrifying plot had succeeded, it was claimed.
The men wore western suits and blank expressions in the dock of Woolwich Crown Court, South-East London, as they watched their videos in which they were dressed in Islamic garb. Their “fanatical” shrieks echoed around the courtroom as they listed Britain’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as alleged justification for mass murder.
In his recording, 29-year-old Islam accused fellow Britons of being “too busy watching EastEnders” to care about the problems in the Middle East while Ali, 27, warned that their “body parts” would be “decorating the streets”.
