Omar Khyam, who boasted of working for the number three in al Qaeda, was found guilty of conspiracy to cause explosions made from chemical fertiliser which would endanger life.

Khyam, 25, of Crawley, West Sussex, had denied the charge at the Old Bailey during a year-long trial.

Seven British men were arrested in March 2004 following the discovery of more than half a ton of chemical fertiliser in storage in west London. Today four of them were convicted with Khyam of involvement in the plot.

The prosecution said the men were involved in a plot to bomb targets in Britain, including the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent and the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London, and to hit gas and electricity supplies.

Prosecutor David Waters QC said not everyone involved in the plot was before the court.

The terror cell was said to have schemed with Canadian Mohammed Momin Khawaja and American Mohammed Junaid Babar.

Before the court with Khyam were his brother Shujah Mahmood, 20; Waheed Mahmood, 35; and Jawad Akbar, 23, all from Crawley, West Sussex; Anthony Garcia, 25, of Barkingside, east London; Nabeel Hussain, 22, of Horley, Surrey; and Salahuddin Amin, 32, of Luton, Bedfordshire.

Garcia, Akbar, Waheed Mahmood and Amin were all also found guilty by the jury of conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.

Hussain and Shujah Mahmood were cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions.

Khyam and Garcia were also found guilty of possession of 600kg of ammonium nitrate fertiliser for terrorism, but Hussain was cleared.

Khyam was also found guilty of possession aluminium powder for terrorism, but Shujah Mahmood was found not guilty.

They denied conspiring to cause explosions likely to endanger life between January 1 2003 and March 31 2004.

Khyam, Garcia and Hussain also denied a charge under the Terrorism Act of possessing 600kgs (1,300lbs) of ammonium nitrate fertiliser for terrorism.

Khyam and Shujah Mahmood further denied possessing aluminium powder for terrorism.

The defendants denied there was a plot. Some said they did not know what the fertiliser was, that they were only interested in sending money and supplies to fighters in Kashmir and Afghanistan, or that they were duped.

The jury of seven men and five women were out for a record number of days and were in the seventh week of deliberations.

One of them convicted is complaining about the unwanted war on terror. yes:

Unfortunately more where they came from so I see no point in celebrating this. Especially given the implications on the July bombings when they might have been stopped. So it's not a result, but a missed opportunity to save lives.

They were tracking individuals involved in the July bombings but deemed them 'not serious enough'. An intelligence 'misjudgement. Fair enough, there are that many would be terrorists that many will 'slip through the net'. I just don't see any point in celebrating today's news. Pointless.

i still think that these people need to be locked up for good or ultimatly worse, the death sentance, people who want to kill other humans willingly

[boro_boy]

I think we need to stay away from the death sentance, that is a step backwards if we bring it back. But it will never be brought back.
