Ranch ‘was site for planned terror camp’

IT was in a sleepy part of rural Oregon where Abu Hamza allegedly tried to set up a training camp for a new wave of al-Qaida terrorists.

According to law-enforcement sources and court documents, Hamza and his alleged co-conspirators hoped to turn the ranch, 30 miles north of the California border, into a jihadist training centre.

There, they planned to stash weapons and concoct poisons to be used in attacks on US cities.
