DIY missile fear

AL-QAEDA terror chiefs have produced DIY missile-making guides for fanatics to download from the internet, it emerged yesterday.
Security experts fear the home-made weapons could be built in Britain — and fired at London.
The discovery follows a chilling warning about the terrorist threat from MI5 chief Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller. She highlighted the danger posed by extremist websites.
Al-Qaeda recently said missiles are “a top priority”. The guides show a six-mile range missile and thirty-mile version.
Terrorism expert Neil Doyle said: “The warhead could easily be chemical rather than conventional explosive.
“But a major challenge for any group planning to use these is testing them without being noticed.”

Brit's £40k Oz cash mystery

A BRITISH tourist has been locked up in Australia while police probe why he was carrying more than £40,000 in cash.
Mohammod Azizul Islam, 22, was arrested in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, after trying to pay a bus driver to take him to Sydney.
A court heard he had a mobile phone covered in a substance which led cops to believe he had hidden it inside his body.
Police said he had claimed he was a multi-millionaire travelling from London on holiday.
A prosecutor said Mr Islam had a criminal history in the UK which included fraud, theft, drugs and public disorder.
He was remanded in custody until Friday.
