Alleged terror plot to bring radioactive bomb to Britain

A MEMBER of a British terror cell with alleged links to al-Qaida was involved in a plot to buy a radioactive bomb, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.

Salahuddin Amin, aged 31, from Luton, had information passed to him about a “radioisotope bomb” while he was in Pakistan, the court was told.

The plan was to buy the device from the Russian mafia in Belgium, prosecutor David Waters QC said.
