'TERROR suspect Omar Khyam brought his bomb plot trial to a dramatic halt yesterday by refusing to answer his lawyer’s questions.
Khyam told the Old Bailey he did not want to endanger his family back in Pakistan.
He and six other British Muslims are accused of planning attacks on targets including the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent and London’s Ministry of Sound nightclub. The gang is alleged to have bought 600 kilos of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to be turned into explosives for the al-Qaeda-linked attacks.
Khyam, 24, admits attending a weapons-training camp in Pakistan where he claimed the country’s Inter-Services Intelligence, known as ISI, gave explosives instruction.
Yesterday Khyam’s barrister Joel Bennathan asked if he helped buy and store the fertiliser in November 2003.
The defendant replied: "Before I go into that topic I just want to say the ISI in Pakistan had had words with my family in Pakistan regarding what I have been saying about them, and I think they are worried about what I may end up revealing about them.

Just sentence him and lock him up in solitary and then file additional charges for future trials
