| Canadian al-Qaeda bomb-maker guilty in British fertiliser bomb plot |
| 2008-10-29 |
| A Canadian man has been found guilty of designing the detonators for a thwarted al-Qaeda attack on the Bluewater shopping centre and Ministry of Sound nightclub in Britain. Mohammed Momin Khawaja flew to Britain to show his device, the "hi-fi digimonster," to the cell based in Crawley, West Sussex. But the terrorists were already under surveillance and bugged recordings heard the men discussing targeting the shopping centre in Kent or the central London nightclub. Police later discovered they had stored half a ton of ammonium nitrate for the bomb in a lock-up in north-west London. The rest of the gang, led by Omar Khyam, were convicted last year and yesterday a judge in Ontario, Canada, also found Khawaja guilty. He will be sentenced in late November. Rest at link. Khawaja's father is a real PoS too. |
