Five Britons have been found guilty of plotting to carry out al Qaeda-inspired bomb attacks across Britain on targets ranging from a nightclub to a shopping mall.
The gang planned to use 600 kg (1,300 lb) of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to make explosives to be used in bombings in revenge for Britain’s support the United States in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, prosecutors said.
The prosecution said the men had discussed targets including London’s biggest nightclub — the Ministry of Sound — gas, water and electricity supplies, synagogues, trains, planes, and a large shopping center, Bluewater, east of the capital.
