Guilty of terror Tube plot

BRITISH Muslim terrorist Quaisar Shaffi was convicted yesterday of involvement in a plot to blow up a Tube train under the Thames.

Shaffi, 28, was a henchman of al-Qaeda general Dhiren Barot, 34, now serving at least 30 years.

The pair intended to explode a “dirty bomb” and detonate gas cylinders stacked in limos in car parks under tall buildings in London. The Heathrow Express was another potential target.

Shaffi, of Harlesden, North West London, will be sentenced with six other gang members at London’s Woolwich Crown Court tomorrow.
