“Support team ‘aided terror plot’”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A 28-year-old man was a vital member of a gang planning a series of explosions in the UK and US, a jury has been told.
Qaisar Shaffi is accused of helping jailed plot mastermind Dhiren Barot on reconnaissance for “murderous terrorist attacks” on American cities.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The prosecution said Barot planned to set off explosions at buildings in Newark, New York and Washington.
The plans were then to be used to target buildings and the transport system in London.
Mr Shaffi travelled to the US with Barot in March 2001 for reconnaissance of potential sites to attack such as the New York Stock Exchange, Mr Laidlaw said.
“When he went to the US, he was knowingly assisting Barot with reconnaissance for murderous terrorist attacks,” he told the jury.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The jury heard six other men have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to cause an explosion or explosions.
They are: Nadeem Tarmohammed, 28, from Willesden; Mohammed Naveed Bhatti, 27, of Harrow, north-west London; Mohammed Zia Ul Haq, 28, of Paddington, west London; Abdul Aziz Jalil, 34, of Luton, Bedfordshire; Omar Abdul Rehman, 23, of Bushey, Hertfordshire and Junade Feroze, 31, of Blackburn, Lancashire.”

Thank you, Cindy.
P.S. RE: Zawahiri video and his specific comments on U.S. troops in Iraq: Zawahiri just learned that U.S. presidents can veto legislation passed by Congress and that such a veto can survive if Congress lacks the appropriate number of override votes. He has egg on his face...I bet he wishes he waited awhile longer before he released his newest diatribe.
P.P.S. Still waiting on usama...
