THE leader of a terrorist cell plotted to kidnap a British Muslim soldier using cocaine as a lure before beheading him “like a pig”, a jury heard yesterday.

A MAN appeared in a London court yesterday charged with planning to kidnap and kill a member of the armed forces in a plot apparently aimed at Muslims who had served with British troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.

One of the terror suspects arrested last week in Birmingham has been charged with plotting to kidnap and kill a member of the British armed forces, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
