Remember that terrorist plot to blow up 10 airplanes over the Atlantic as well as London landmarks that was aborted by brilliant police work this summer?
Dhiren Barot, a Hindu who converted to Islam, plotted to kill thousands, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. The details of his plans are now being revealed in a London court. Al Qaeda Briton 'plotted to kill thousands'.
Barot expected the devastation and loss of life to match 9/11 and the Madrid bombs, the court heard.
The attacks would have been coordinated in a series of back-to-back explosions with further strikes on landmark buildings in Washington, New York and Newark, New Jersey.
Barot costed every aspect of the terrorist outrages, then travelled to Pakistan to present them to al Qaeda bosses "like a business plan", the court was told.
