Three charged over alleged Tube terror plot

THREE men are due in court today charged in connection with an alleged plot to carry out a terrorist attack which police sources say involved the London Underground.

But Scotland Yard refused to comment officially on claims in the Sunday Times newspaper that the attack involved releasing cyanide gas on a crowded Tube carriage.

The men, believed to be north Africans, were remanded in custody by magistrates this week, charged under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
