The gang of British Muslims who plotted to blow up transatlantic passenger flights made chilling suicide videos in which they promised to leave body parts “decorating the streets”, a court has heard.
Jurors were shown images of one of the alleged plotters as he prepared for his “martyrdom” – telling of his desire for Americans, Britons and Jews to die in “hellfire” in revenge for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Woolwich Crown Court heard on Thursday that the alleged terrorists plotted to cause carnage “on an almost unprecedented scale” by detonating up to 18 suicide bombs on transatlantic passenger flights.
Today prosecutors said that police recovered a video showing five of the suspects recording suicide messages and “contemplating a violent death in the name of Islam”.
