Plot accused 'wanted baby on jet'

Accused plotter Abdulla Ahmed Ali

Mr Ali's son was nine months old at the time of his arrest

 

A man accused of plotting bomb attacks on passenger aircraft considered taking his baby son on suicide missions, a court has been told.

 

A signed passport application for Abdulla Ahmed Ali's son was found at his home in Walthamstow, east London, a jury at Woolwich Crown Court heard.

 

They also heard that a police bug allegedly recorded Mr Ali, 27, saying: "Should I take my lot on?"

 

Eight men deny conspiring to murder and endangering planes in August 2006.

 

Mr Ali and seven others are on trial accused of plotting to murder by smuggling home-made liquid bombs on aircraft.

 

Nine months old

 

The court was told that a police recording device allegedly captured Mr Ali discussing the possibility of taking children on suicide missions.

 

Speaking to co-defendant Umar Islam, he allegedly said: "Should I take my lot on? I know my wife wouldn't agree to it, but..."

 

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said such an act might be beyond contemplation for victims of the attack, but it was not for those behind it.

 

Mr Ali's son, Mohammed Said Ali, was nine months old when his father was arrested.

 

The jury also heard that several books advocating jihad and martyrdom were found in a child's cot in Mr Ali's bedroom.

 

Among them was The Lofty Mountain, which Mr Wright said had inspired Osama bin Laden.

 

Other items found by police included books about the experiences of mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan and an audio recording of a speech by MP George Galloway.

 

The defendants are Mr Ali, Arafat Waheed Khan, 26, of Walthamstow, east London, Assad Sarwar, 24, of High Wycombe, Bucks, Tanvir Hussain, 27, of Leyton, east London, and Waheed Zaman, 23, of Walthamstow.

 

Also charged are Mohammed Gulzar, 26, of Barking, east London, Ibrahim Savant, 27, of Stoke Newington, north London, and Umar Islam, 29, of Plaistow, east London.

 

 

I can sort of get my head around the level of hatred needed to kill yourself (along with many others of course) in this sort of attack, but your wife and baby too? Incredible.

Im sure half of these missions are planned in chicken cottage next to the irish centre. Every time I go in there every one goes silent. Its like walking into the slaughtered lamb!

 

:D If you're eating in Chicken Cottage, you're taking your life into your own hands anyway tbh. Russian Roulette played with chicken drumsticks.
