Trio guilty of terrorist plot to surpass 7/7 atrocity

Three men have been found guilty of leading a terrorist bomb plot that could have been bigger than the Jul 7 atrocities.

Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid, 27, and Ashik Ali, 27, all from Birmingham, were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of planning the attack.

They were “central figures” in an Islamic extremist plot to set off up to eight rucksack bombs and possibly other devices on timers in crowded areas.
