Al Qaeda terrorists planned to use “dirty bombs” to blow up the Heathrow Express or a Tube train passing under the Thames, a court heard today.
Dhiren Barot, 34, also plotted to strike at the West End’s leading hotels and mainline railway stations.
The catastrophic results would have produced “another black day for the enemies of Islam and victory for the Muslims”, he wrote.
Barot expected the devastation and loss of life to match 9/11 and the Madrid bombs, the court heard.
The attacks would have been coordinated in a series of back-to-back explosions with further strikes on landmark buildings in Washington, New York and Newark, New Jersey.
