Eight other members of the cell which was based in Birmingham, central England, were also sentenced on Friday. "Your plot had the blessing of al-Qaeda and you intended to further the aims of Al-Qaeda," Judge Richard Henriques said as he sentenced the men. "The only barrier between (Naseer's) team and mass murder was the intervention of the authorities." The terror cell was heavily influenced by the teachings of American-born al-Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki ... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and UndieboomerUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list... , who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011, police said. Prosecutors said that the attacks planned by the men would have been the deadliest since the July 7, 2005 London bombings, in which 52 people were killed by three Islamist jacket wallahs on subway trains and a fourth bomber on a bus. Khalid meanwhile boasted that the attack would be "another 9/11", referring to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the trial heard. The plot was also the most significant terror plan uncovered in Britannia since the 2006 plot to blow up transatlantic airliners using bombs in drinks bottles, police said. The judge said the attacks may have been intended to target Birmingham, although police said the planned location was not clear. |
