Brit 7/7 widow ‘plotted station horror’

SECURITY chiefs fear an al-Qaeda cell funded by the British “White Widow” plotted to bomb a German railway station, The Sun can reveal.

The attack in Bonn would have resulted in a massacre like the one in the Spanish capital Madrid in 2004 which left 191 people dead.

But the device failed to explode and was disarmed before it could detonate. Intelligence sources in Germany say that al-Qaeda was behind the conspiracy — which encompassed “many operatives” overseas, including wanted Brit Samantha Lewthwaite.

Last night a source said: “Remember this was a primed device that was of the size of those used to devastate trains in Madrid in 2004.

“This was not amateur hour. This was the real thing and Lewthwaite is one of the people on our radar.”

Lewthwaite, 28, who was married to 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay, is known to have ties to al-Qaeda supporting the al-Shabaab network in war-torn Somalia.

In 2005 Lindsay blew himself up on the London Underground killing 26 people.

No, this can’t be true...Germany and Britain both have “sane, sensible” gun control laws. No violence ever happens there.
