“Khawaja associates discussed London attack on surveillance tapes, court hears”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “OTTAWA - Immediately after Momin Khawaja left London in 2004, his alleged co-conspirators in a terrorism plot were recorded by British Security Services having a long conversation about the best way to carry out jihad in England - including plotting to blow up one of London’s most famous nightclubs.

Omar Khyam, who was later convicted for his role in a foiled fertilizer-bomb plot, visited Jawad Akbar the evening of Feb. 22, 2004, hours after he dropped Khawaja off at London’s Heathrow Airport. British security services recorded the conversation as part of their extensive surveillance of the men, dubbed Operation Crevice.

The audio recordings were played in court Friday at Khawaja’s terror trial. The Ottawa man has pleaded not guilty to seven terrorism charges related to a foiled 2004 London bomb plot.

During the recorded conversations, Akbar told Khyam he thinks the years of planning that went into the Sept. 11, 2001 attack were essentially ineffectual, because society has desensitized people to death and the attack was quickly forgotten.”
