Brothers deny plotting chemical attack in Britain

TWO brothers suspected of plotting to make a chemical bomb for an attack in Britain denied all accusations through their lawyers yesterday, as police searched their home.

The men, aged 23 and 20, were held during a dawn raid on Friday when more than 250 police officers, some in chemical protection suits, stormed their east London home.

Mohammed Abdul Kahar, the older of the two, was shot in the shoulder during the raid.

Specific intelligence had suggested the house might have been used to make a toxic bomb, police sources said.

“He says there’s not a word of truth in any of it,” the wounded brother’s lawyer said. The lawyer for his brother, Abul Koyair, said his client had also denied the accusation.
