JURORS in the trial of eight men accused of plotting to blow up trans-atlantic flights have been told they can give a majority verdict.

Among those on trial is Assad Sarwar of Walton Drive, Totteridge and Umar Islam, formerly of High Wycombe.

The prosecution claims that the men had planned to smuggle bombs aboard a flight from Heathrow to America.

The men deny charges of conspiracy to murder.
