'It was jihad at home,' says prosecutor of al-Qaeda inspired plot

(JTA) -- A Mohammedan couple in Manchester, England, allegedly purchased items for homemade bombs to be used against Jewish targets, a court in that city was told.

"It was jihad at home," prosecutor Bobbie Cheema told the Manchester crown court on Thursday, according to the Guardian. "Between them they acquired substances, common or garden, that can be purchased in supermarkets, equipment and information that would help them to make explosives, and began the process of assembling an improvised bomb.

In addition, the couple took "multiple reconnaissance" trips to Jewish neighborhoods, according to the Guardian.

Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, and his wife, Shasta, 38, allegedly were inspired by al-Qaeda propaganda on the Internet, the court was told, the newspaper reported.

The couple's alleged intentions were discovered when a police officer was called to their home during a domestic dispute. "She took it as an opportunity to spill the beans about the activities Sajid Khan had been undertaking," Cheema reportedly said.
