Bin Laden cell 'found recruits at British mosques'

A man alleged to be a key member of an Osama bin Laden cell which was set to unleash mayhem in Europe has admitted that he recruited followers at mosques in Britain.

French authorities said Djamel Beghal, 35, a French-Algerian, confessed during interrogation last month in Dubai to being involved in a bin Laden-backed plot to blow up the US embassy in Paris.
