Radical Islamists admit to London terror plot

Four radical Islamists have admitted plotting a major pre-Christmas terror attack on the London Stock Exchange.

The al Qaida-inspired fundamentalist group had planned to send five mail bombs to various targets over the 2010 festive period and discussed launching a “Mumbai-style” atrocity.

A target list found at one of the defendant’s homes listed the names and addresses of London Mayor Boris Johnson, two rabbis, the American Embassy and the Stock Exchange.
