Bomb plot accused revealed plan to attack London Underground in web chat on Twitter

A man who was allegedly planning a suicide bomb attack on the Underground in London confirmed his intentions to an undercover investigator on Twitter and unwittingly invited him to take part, a court has heard.

Mohammed Rehman, 25, and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, both of Reading, are charged with preparing terrorist acts on or before May 28 this year.

They deny the charges. The attack was believed to have been planned to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombing, which killed 52 innocent people.
