Dirty Bomb Plot Gang Get 136 Years

Seven members of a terror cell run by al Qaeda 'general' Dhiren Barot have been jailed for a total of 136 years.

The gang were vital to his deadly plans to attack the UK and the US, Woolwich Crown Court was told.

Barot was jailed for life last year for plotting to kill "hundreds if not thousands" of people using explosives-packed limousines and a 'dirty' radiation bomb.

His plans also included using a petrol tanker to cause an explosion.

Mr Justice Butterfield, sentencing, told the seven: "Barot was the instigator of this terrorist planning, he was by some considerable distance the principal participant in the conspiracy.

"Anyone who chooses to participate in such a plan ... will receive little sympathy from the courts."

The judge told the defendants the suffering their families would experience "is but a tiny fraction of the suffering that would have been experienced had your plans been translated into reality".

Abdul Aziz Jalil, 34, from Luton, Bedfordshire, was jailed for 26 years, Junade Feroze, 31, from Blackburn, Lancashire, for 22 years and Mohammed Naveed Bhatti, 27, and Nadeem Tarmohamed, 29, from London, for 20 years each.

Zia Ul Haq, 28, from London, was given 18 years while Omar Abdur Rehman, 23, from Bushey, Hertfordshire, and Qaisar Shaffi, 28, also from London, received 15 years each.

Shaffi was convicted of conspiracy to murder after a month-long trial which ended earlier this week.

The other six pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.
