RANTS by Abu Hamza were found at the home of a fanatic who plotted to behead a
British soldier, a court heard yesterday.
Cops discovered writings by the hook-handed cleric - now in jail for inciting
murder - in a search of Parviz Khan’s house.
Also found were videos featuring speeches by al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden,
images of coalition troops killed in Afghanistan, and propaganda about
terrorist atrocities.
Khan, 37, has admitted masterminding a plot to abduct a Muslim British soldier
and behead him.
Guilty ... Khan
The court was told he was the “hub” of a terror cell dedicated to sending
supplies to Pakistan for use by terrorists.
He concocted his plot to kidnap a squaddie from the streets of Birmingham
because he was “enraged” there were Muslims in the British Army.
But the plan was sunk when cops swooped on dad-of-four Khan last January after
bugging his home in the city’s Alum Rock area.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson said several computers were seized.
He said: “Files showed an interest in al-Qaeda and its activities.”
A jury was told Khan has pleaded guilty to engaging in conduct with the
intention to commit acts of terrorism.
He allegedly enlisted Amjad Mahmood and Basiru Gassama, to help identify his
target.
Mahmood, 32, denies failing to disclose information relating to an act of
terrorism. Gassama, 30, has pleaded guilty to the same charge.
Trial continues at Leicester Crown Court.
