7/7 bomb team posed as A-Team characters

TWO of the 7/7 bombers posed as characters from the A-Team in joke text messages on the eve of their suicide attacks, it was revealed yesterday.

In bizarre exchanges, Mohammed Sidique Khan and Jermaine Lindsay pretended to be Face and BA Baracus, two of the US commandos-turned-soldiers of fortune featured in the cult 1980s TV drama, which was turned into a Hollywood movie this year.

Using the “operational” mobile phones they bought specially to plan the atrocities, they also referred to A-Team character Murdock and repeatedly quoted BA Baracus’s catchphrase, “I ain’t getting on no plane”.
