British bomb plotters lose appeal
|
"I used to like them a lot, but now I've gone back to Boy George." | Five British citizens, who had been imprisoned for life for plotting Al Qaeda-inspired bomb attacks across Britain, lost appeals against their convictions on Wednesday. Omar Khyam, Anthony Garcia, Jawad Akbar, Waheed Mahmood and Salahuddin Amin had been given life sentences in April 2007 after being found guilty of plotting attacks on targets ranging from nightclubs to trains, and a shopping centre. Prosecutors said the convicts had planned to use 600 kg (1300 lb) of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to make bombs in revenge for Britain's support for the United States after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Three judges at London's Court of Appeal ruled that their convictions should stand.
