BOMBER'S PLOT TO HIT TOWER BRIDGE

POLICE believe jailed terror mastermind Dhiren Barot planned to blow up Tower Bridge and London Bridge, sending hundreds plunging to the deaths.
Notes written by the 34-year-old Hindu convert to Islam (below), who had also planned to blow up Tube trains under the Thames, reveal he was assessing the effectiveness of explosives under water.
A table of explosives, including dynamite and TNT, was ticked off for their strength and effectiveness.
A security source said: "A coordinated attack on bridges over the Thames would have been one of his obvious targets. It would cause dramatic destruction with massive loss of life. Blowing up several bridges at once would be seen as a major coup by a madman like Barot."
Barot also had a recipe book of chemicals to be used for a terror attack.
Top of his list of horror "ingredients" was botulinum toxin, the deadliest chemical known. Just 100 grams of it would kill everyone on Earth.
