"Terror suspects recorded making bombs"
A HIDDEN camera recorded two terror suspects allegedly preparing explosive devices intended for passenger planes, a court heard today.
At the trial of eight men accused of plotting to blow up seven transatlantic aircraft in mid-air at Woolwich Crown Court, jurors were shown surveillance footage from inside their alleged bomb factory.
Two of the suspects, Ahmed Abdullah Ali and Tanvir Hussain, were recorded inside the flat in Forest Road, Walthamstow, East London.
An extract of a black and white video, which was made on August 3 2006, was shown to the jury.
It showed the two men talking and working together in the flat with the radio on. The video footage appeared to show the men drilling holes into the base of plastic drinks bottles.
Other police surveillance footage shown in court today showed the movements of High Wycombe suspect Assad Sarwar, of Walton Drive, Totteridge, on the same day, August 3.
He met with co-defendant Mohammed Gulzar, described as the plot ringleader by prosecutor Peter Wright QC, at Gulzar's home in Barking, where they appeared to exchange items concealed in plastic bags.
Later that day Sarwar drove to Slough to meet Ali when they parked their cars side by side in Hampshire Avenue.
A surveillance video showed the men talking between the cars and then Ali showing Sarwar several plastic bags in the boot of his red Vauxhall Vectra.
When Sarwar returned to his red Nissan Primera he was holding a white item.
The eight men deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to endanger life on an aircraft. The trial continues.
